Many insects rely on heritable bacterial endosymbionts for essential nutrients that they cannot get through their diet. A new study, published in Nature Communications, indicates that the genomes of ...

Superpowers make great fiction, but evolution doesn’t work that way. We explore why mutations can’t give us instant abilities—and what real science could create instead.

The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20^100 ...

In humans, chronic high blood pressure forces the heart to work too hard. The muscle of the left ventricle thickens in defense, a condition called hypertrophy. Eventually, this leads to fibrosis, ...

Seek Labs, a private TechBio company building a programmable disease response platform to detect, protect, and counter disease threats, has been awarded $2 million from the U.S. Department of ...

This year's Sjöberg Prize of one million US dollars is awarded to a British cancer researcher who has provided fundamental knowledge about evolution in tumors.
