An LMU research team led by Professor Olivia M. Merkel, Chair of Drug Delivery at LMU, has developed a new delivery system ...

The cells in living organisms are constantly making proteins. Ribosomes, the RNA-protein complexes that make other proteins, ...

Mounting evidence from research on nematodes to mice indicate that a father's environment, such as what he eats or if he is ...

Molecular mechanism uncovered in mice by UC Santa Cruz researchers reveals how a father’s diet, stress, and other ...

Biologists mapping the human microbiome expected to find new bacteria and viruses, not entities that slip through every ...

Biologists are quietly rewriting what it means to be alive, and the human body has become one of their strangest frontiers.

WIRED spoke with DeepMind’s Pushmeet Kohli about the recent past—and promising future—of the Nobel Prize-winning research project that changed biology and chemistry forever. To understand what the ...

Lewy body diseases -- Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies -- should be defined as neuronal alpha-synuclein disease, not as clinical syndromes, a new position paper proposed. "Parkinson's ...

How life begins remains an unsolved question. One key component might be RNA, a molecular cousin of DNA found in every form of life on Earth, and now scientists say they have shown how it could have ...

Scientists have sequenced RNA from a nearly 40,000-year-old woolly mammoth leg, the oldest ancient RNA ever recovered. These fragile molecules could reveal which genes were active in the animal’s ...

Researchers have visualized how a large RNA molecule assembles itself into a functional machine. RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like ...

Scientists have recovered ancient molecules of RNA from a juvenile mammoth named Yuka, who died 40,000 years ago in what is now Siberia. These biological remnants are providing insight into the last ...
