For sexual reproduction to yield healthy offspring, newly generated oocytes—immature egg cells—must receive the correct amount of DNA after cell division. This process of segregating chromosomes ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

Scientists have uncovered a crucial weakness in the malaria parasite that could open the door to new treatments. Researchers identified a protein called Aurora-related kinase 1 (ARK1) that acts like a ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell - from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division - scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into ...

As new research suggests that anxiety about the future is taking its toll on us biologically, Helen digs into the science behind this self-fulfilling prophecy ...

A recent study found that older adults who take a daily multivitamin may slow their biological aging by up to 4 months. The researchers note that multivitamins don't add years to life span, but they ...

There is something about Ramadan that slows the rhythm of life just enough to make you notice what you would otherwise rush past. The days are structured around restraint, the nights around reflection ...
