A team of researchers has recently developed a nondestructive imaging and machine learning system that accurately predicts the efficiency of stem cell differentiation into muscle stem cells. The team was led by Associate ...
Executive function—top-down processes by which the human mind controls behavior, regulating thoughts and actions—have long been studied using a standard set of tools, with these assessments being included in national ...
In a major step toward securing global food supplies and advancing sustainable agriculture, a team of scientists has proposed an integrated framework that combines biotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize ...
Mosquitoes kill more people each year than any other animal. In 2023, the blood-sucking insects infected a reported 263 million people with malaria, leading to nearly 600,000 deaths, 80% of which were children.
An international team of scientists has decoded some of the most stubborn, overlooked regions of the human genome using complete sequences from 65 individuals across diverse ancestries.
Body coverings such as hair and feathers have played a central role in evolution. They enabled warm-bloodedness by insulating the body, and were used for courtship, display, deterrence of enemies and, in the case of feathers, ...
Researchers from Japan and France have successfully reconstituted the development of mouse egg cells, known as oocytes, from embryonic stem cells entirely in vitro, without the need for ovarian support cells. This new method ...
In a scientific first, researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of California, San Diego, have generated a high-resolution metabolic "map" of how cells orchestrate glucose processing, revealing a hidden world ...
For many ant species, caste determines destiny. Queens grow large, sprout wings, and lay eggs; workers stay small, wingless, and industrious. But how these castes develop—and how a young ant's future is determined by genetics ...
A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk," may actually play powerful roles in regulating gene expression. Focusing on a family of sequences ...
