Pulling some methodological tricks: Based on brain organoids such as this one – i.e., three-dimensional replicas of the brain measuring only a few millimeters in diameter – the researchers tested the ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient’s cells. However, most genetic disorders are caused by dozens or even thousands of ...

Large-scale evolutionary analysis shows most zoonotic viruses emerge without prior adaptation, while passing through a laboratory leaves detectable genetic signatures, offering a new tool to interpret ...

Yentli Soto Albrecht has a rare genetic form of ALS and is working on research at Penn that could one day prove life-saving.

Researchers have devised a new tool for discerning between naturally occurring viral outbreaks and those resulting from lab ...

Nobel laureate James Watson was expelled from his own laboratory after controversial racial statements that shook the scientific world.

In a development that could transform how scientists study cancer, neurodegeneration and inflammation, researchers have invented a new sensor that enables MRI machines to visualize molecular activity ...

Harvard Medical School neurobiologist David Ginty has won The Brain Prize 2026 for his career-long research on our sense of ...

Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and The Johns Hopkins University have created a novel database structure that allows investigators anywhere to more easily study multiple types ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across ...

The Wiregrass Peanut Project placed students inside an active genetics research effort during the Wiregrass Innovation Center's first week of operation.

A study by researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute, and Yale University has identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human ...
