MIT Sloan’s Nelson P. Repenning and Donald C. Kieffer outline their tried-and-tested solution for stubborn workflow blockages.

By inviting players to tackle real scientific problems, games can offer a hand in solving medicine’s toughest challenges.

Differences in certain avian and mammalian proteins explain why avian influenza doesn't (typically) infect humans.

Such discoveries help researchers better understand the development of molecular complexity in space during star formation.

"By 2040, we hope to see a number of new drugs that have been designed with AI reaching patients."

Profluent’s new platform is like ChatGPT for genetic technology.

In a recent paper, biologists outlined a three-part hypothesis for how all life as we know it began.

They call it “Judo T-cell therapy,” and it’s 100 times more potent than regular CAR-T cells.

We don’t yet know if these strange “obelisks” are helpful or harmful.

It’s not just fun: DNA origami has the potential to revolutionize engineering at the nanoscopic scale.

Scientists will be able to make detailed "Claymation-like" movies of chemical reactions.

A cure may be on the horizon.

Scientists agree that eons ago, a bacterium took up residence inside another cell and became its powerhouse, the mitochondrion. But there are competing theories about the birth of other organelles such as the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum.

A new study provides the first proof-of-principle that genetic material transferred from one species to another can increase both longevity and healthspan in the recipient animal.

This biochemist is determined to create a new life form by reversing the shape of molecules.

The flavor is "simultaneously fascinating and... abusive."

Carnivorous plants fascinate as much now as when their gruesome diet was first discovered.

Rocks and minerals don’t simply reflect light. They play with it and interact with light as both a wave and a particle.

As cells divide, they must copy all of their chromosomes once and only once, or chaos would ensue. How do they do it? Key controls happen well before replication even starts.

Quantum physics is starting to show up in unexpected places. Indeed, it is at work in animals, plants, and our own bodies. 

Cancer likes glucose. So take it away.

Plants at room temperature show properties we had only seen near absolute zero.

The discovery has enormous implications for the development of novel anti-anxiety medications.

Amyloid plaque can build up in body organs other than the brain. The resulting diseases — AL amyloidosis, ATTR amyloidosis and more — cause much suffering.

In the beginning, genes weren't needed.

By studying the oldest animals, researchers hope to pinpoint factors affecting human longevity.

Once activated, the CRISPR-Cas12a2 system goes on a rampage, chopping up DNA and RNA indiscriminately, causing cell death.

Cryo-electron tomography, or cryo-ET, is the future of cell research.

More work is needed before declaring the technique a fountain of youth.

Only recently have scientists directly witnessed this most pivotal of events in biology.
