When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell ...

In a breakthrough that defies nature, Northwestern University and Stanford University synthetic biologists have created a new ...

A small tweak to mitochondrial energy production led to big gains in health and longevity. Mice engineered to boost a protein that helps mitochondria work more efficiently lived longer and showed ...

Natural biological systems cannot efficiently convert waste CO₂ or its derivatives into useful building-block chemicals at a scale that can keep pace with rising atmospheric carbon. Engineer a fully ...

Researchers have developed experimental drugs that encourage the mitochondria in our cells to work a little harder and burn ...

Creating mini mitochondria factories helped recharge damaged cells in a dish, providing proof-of-concept work that could pave ...

Fossils can reveal far more than the shapes of ancient creatures. Molecules preserved inside old animal bones provide clues about past diseases, what those animals ate, and the climates they lived in.

A research team has managed to “bottle” a highly reactive carbene in water, overturning a major assumption in chemistry.

Neurodegenerative disorders are pressing global health challenges that stem from progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss. While the central roles of ...
