How do biological cells join forces to form a structure? In her Ph.D. research, Daphne Nesenberend uses mathematics to show ...
A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...
Most people know only two things about the appendix: You don’t need it – and if it bursts, you need surgery fast. That basic story traces back at least to Charles Darwin, the English naturalist who ...
Their makers claim they can detect dozens of cancer types — but some scientists say they could be missing many cancers or ...
In addition to its potential detox perks, chlorella is nutrient-packed, offering solid doses of vitamins and minerals like D ...

In 1921, Otto Loewi woke from a dream with the idea for an experiment that proved nerves communicate using chemicals, not just electricity. By showing that stimulating one frog’s heart released a ...
Chung’s group captured the transition period directly by improving the time resolution of a method called single-molecule ...
How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...
How people connect with one another may be more complex—and more fascinating—than previously thought. A new review in Nature Reviews Psychology explores the emerging science of interpersonal ...
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is one of the most important processes in our cells to ensure that no faulty or incomplete proteins are produced. Scientists have now identified a central mechanism ...
Scientists have developed two powerful molecular tools that reveal how plants and fungi coordinate one of Earth’s oldest biological partnerships.
