An article published by Technion - Israel Institute of Technology researchers in the prestigious journal Nature presents new insights about the evolution of the immune system. The team’s findings ...

Like Plato’s description of the enigma of human existence, stem cells may remain dormant for a person’s life span and never fulfill their potential — that is, “never come to be” — or may differentiate ...

The evolution of a single cellular change into oncology-related pathology is complex, driven by mutations accumulated during cell division, cell to cell interactions, and tissue structure and ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals danger. When the sun shines on your skin, what does it hit? When it causes a ...

Scientists from the Institut Pasteur, Université Paris Cité, the CNRS and the Collège de France have used paleogenomics to trace 10,000 years of human immune system evolution. They analyzed the ...

A new platform developed at Scripps Research enables fast, scalable protein evolution. This potentially opens the door to new therapies and diagnostics. In addition, the technology may aid scientists ...

Sea urchins look like an inanimate bundle of needles, but a closer look at these alien-like creatures reveals a surprisingly ...
