How do blood vessels stay strong, flexible, and responsive to the body's changing need for oxygen and nutrients? The answer lies not only in biology—but also in physics. Researchers at Åbo Akademi ...
In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

What does the appendix do? Biologists explain the complicated evolution of this inconvenient organ
In "The Descent of Man," he described the appendix as a vestige: a leftover from plant-eating ancestors with larger digestive organs. For more than a century, that interpretation shaped both textbook ...
Over the past decade, however, a wave of technological advances has begun to expand the druggable proteome. These include covalent inhibitors (such as sotorasib), chemical proteomics, and AI-enabled ...
The NCERT had, for the first time, introduced content on the alleged corruption within the judiciary and the mounting backlog of court cases in its revised Class-8 Social Science textbook. After ...
Statistically speaking, you’re more likely to die of a heart attack or a stroke than from any other cause. Cardiovascular disease is the leading killer of men and women — not just in the United States ...
A novel method to manipulate the inner structure of cells connects several scientific fields and could represent a significant step in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's ...
A healthy, middle aged woman wakes up one day to realise that all the warmth has left her body. It’s not death, no, but coupled with her aching muscles and unfounded fatigue, she seeks to find a cure.
Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...
DNA is the blueprint for life, influencing everything about us—including our health. We know that our genes, the genetic “words” that encode proteins, play a major role in health and disease. But the ...
Virginia-class submarine program. The Navy has been procuring Virginia (SSN-774) class nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs) since FY1998, and a total of 41 have been procured through FY2025. From ...
The biological cycle of our existence seems relatively straightforward: we’re born, we live, we die. The end. But when you examine existence at the cellular level, things get a bit more interesting.
