The effort is part of a sweeping movement to grab hold of our genetic data and directly improve the way our bodies behave — a...

The researchers have engineered small molecules that support long-lived quantum coherences. Coherences are the macroscopically observable behavior of quantum superpositions. Superpositions are a fundamental quantum...

But in low doses, hydrogen sulfide could greatly enhance plant growth, leading to a sharp increase in global food supplies and plentiful stock for biofuel...

Their discovery in mice is likely to further fuel a recent scramble by researchers to identify roles for long-neglected bits of DNA within the genomes...

  Researchers at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine have discovered a technique that directly converts skin cells to the type of brain cells destroyed...

For the first time, scientists reporting in Nature Medicine have created lab-grown kidneys in rats that produce urine after transplantation. 

The creation of the first complete visual map of the telomerase enzyme, which is known to play a significant role in aging and most cancers,...

  The stunning video embedded in this post illustrates a new way of looking at the brain. Scientists at Stanford University have developed a method...

  Using a miniature electronic device implanted in the brain, scientists have tapped into the internal reward system of mice, prodding neurons to release dopamine,...

  A new separation process that depends on an easily-distinguished physical difference in adhesive forces among cells could help expand production of stem cells generated...

At some point, scientists may be able to bring back extinct animals, and perhaps early humans, raising questions of ethics and environmental disruption.

In what might be the first documented case of technologically-assisted interspecies telepathy, an international team of researchers has successfully created a non-invasive brain-to-brain interface that...

Aluminum salts, or alum, have been injected into billions of people as an adjuvant to make vaccines more effective. No one knows, however, how they...

Researchers from NTNU's Kavli Institute of Systems Neuroscience are able to see which cells communicate with each other in the brain by flipping a neural...

  A custom-built programmable 3D printer can create materials with several of the properties of living tissues, Oxford University scientists have demonstrated.
