In the journal Science Advances, scientists in Sweden and the U.S. report the first-ever direct observation of a type of short-lived molecule that has shaped decades of thinking in atmospheric ...

Innate immune sensors—known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)—detect specific molecular components of bacterial or ...

Innate immune sensors – known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) – detect specific molecular components of bacterial or viral intruders. The PRRs forward the signals which results in the ...

Polyamines—natural molecules found in every living cell—have become stars in the longevity world for their ability to boost cellular cleanup and support healthy aging. But there’s a dark twist: high ...

A new study in mice suggests psychedelics make the brain more likely to "see" images from memory rather than what's actually in front of it.

Loss and dysfunction of synapses have been linked to age-related cognitive decline and observed in Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, although a cascade of events likely leads to those ...

You are here because of a single, all-important enzyme. But don’t look inward to find ribulose-­1,5-­bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, known more mercifully among scientists as rubisco. Instead, ...

Element Biosciences created a high-throughput benchtop device that can deliver a whole genome for $100 – half the price of ...

Cosmic jellyfish aside, jellyfish are not an animal that you would expect to encounter in space too much. But at one point in the 1990s, 60,000 jellyfish spent time in space aboard the European Space ...

Researchers found that cutting two amino acids common in animal protein—methionine and cysteine—made mice burn significantly more energy. The boost in heat production was nearly as powerful as ...
