Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...
"At first, I kind of laughed … But they were serious. I could just see the seriousness in their faces." In this book excerpt, Lise Barnéoud explores the limitations of DNA testing.
Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

Six of these molecules were found to be more accurate at predicting two-year survival than things like age and cholesterol levels.
Researchers from Brown University and the University of Rochester will lead a multi-institution project to test whether reducing DNA-triggered inflammation can help older adults stay healthier for ...
A research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing a novel tool to treat cancer by engineering hungry bacteria to literally eat tumors from the inside out. "Bacteria spores enter the ...
Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.
The future of federally funded research at Harvard Medical School — supported by taxpayers and done in service to humanity — remains uncertain. Learn more. One of the most enduring goals in ...
Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and bind to receptors on the surface of target cells, a molecular arms race that ...
