A new tool uses genetic and clinical information to find the root cause of unexplained illnesses.

A new study, affiliated with South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), developed a new technique to understand the correct architectures of IMM proteins, using special chemical tools.

Scientists have developed new fluorescent probes that prove the existence of cell membrane structures called ‘lipid rafts’, allowing researchers to study how toxins and viruses invade cells.

Cells in the brain’s master circadian clock synchronize voltage rhythms despite asynchronous calcium rhythms, which might explain how a tissue-wide rhythm is maintained.

Discovery of parental factors that lead to asymmetric division of the zygote.

Asexual reproduction increases when female cockroaches are housed as a group, not alone, enabling them to maintain a colony for at least three years without a male’s contribution.

An algorithm that prioritizes gene variants with their likelihood of involvement in human disease.

Java sparrows are more likely to mate after dancing together, according to a study from Hokkaido University, contradictory to the belief that songs are the primary sexual signal.

Dinoflagellates cope with stress by editing their genes rather than changing expression, show researchers at KAUST.
