Geroscience examines the underlying biology of aging to delay chronic diseases and extend the healthy years of human life.

Christopher H. Contag explores how tissue regeneration involves organized interactions beyond just cell replacement, highlighting two emerging technologies ...

Wild scarlet monkeyflowers in California survived a historic drought by relying on a rapid evolution, marking the first time the process has been observed in the wild.

Garlic compounds prolong life and preserve memory and strength in mice, revealing a potential ally against aging.

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

A leading oncologist proposes classifying metastatic cancer by molecular alterations rather than organ origin, arguing that the shift could accelerate drug access.

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process human speech in different languages. The extent to which these models replicate ...

All complex biological systems—like the DNA, RNA and proteins constantly being copied and built within our cells—are prone to errors. That means as life evolved to be more elaborate, it also had to ...

Scientists have uncovered a crucial weakness in the malaria parasite that could open the door to new treatments. Researchers identified a protein called Aurora-related kinase 1 (ARK1) that acts like a ...
