Exercise reprograms molecular pathways in the body, offering new clues for future disease prevention and treatment. For years, it has been well established that regular exercise builds strength, ...

Scientists discovered that a blood molecule called CtBP2 may play a major role in how we age. It helps regulate metabolism ...

The Internet has Google. Now biology has MetaGraph. Detailed today in Nature 1, the search engine can quickly sift through the staggering volumes of biological data housed in public repositories.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins are latent in the cytoplasm until activated through receptor-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation — often, but not exclusively by kinases ...

The number of people alive now is at a record level and has increased. In 2022, the human population exceeded eight billion for the first time. Each year, approximately 75 million more people are born ...

Oct. 24, 2025 — MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even ...

As the percentage of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere has increased so has the Earth's mean temperature. Note that the shape of the first graph showing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere ...

With a newly developed method that compares AI-generated protein sequences with naturally occurring ones, function- and ...

The formation of stars is a festinating process that involves massive amounts of dust and gas slowly coming together in a process that speeds up as the main area gets so dense that the gravity is able ...

We use sequence-based approaches, flow cytometry, modeling, and other techniques to explore the structure and function of microbial communities. CalCOFI is a long-term, interdisciplinary, ...

Can you chip in? This year we’ve reached an extraordinary milestone: 1 trillion web pages preserved on the Wayback Machine. This makes us the largest public repository of internet history ever ...

Imagine a bacterial cell—one of the multi-drug-resistant varieties that keep infectious disease experts up at night—blown apart like a microscopic firecracker. That's exactly what scientists are ...
