A new gene-silencing tool shows promise as a future therapy against prion diseases and paves the way for new approaches to treating disease.

New findings could help engineers design materials for light and heat management.

Cell-free DNA prenatal screening, sometimes called ‘the gender test,’ cannot determine gender because gender is more than just genes and genitals.

The building will serve as a hub for research on the development of immunology-based treatments.

Ferns have evolved a mutually beneficial relationship with ants, but this happened late in their evolution. A recent study shows that old dogs can learn new tricks.

Dozens of animals, some on land but many in the ocean, can produce light within their bodies through chemical reactions. Scientists are still trying to understand when and why this trait developed.

New camera chip design allows for optimizing each pixel’s timing to maximize signal-to-noise ratio when tracking real-time visual indicator of neural voltage.

By capturing short-lived RNA molecules, scientists can map relationships between genes and the regulatory elements that control them.

Giraffe necks are a hot topic among biologists. A new study contradicts an older theory that says male giraffes need long necks to fight over mates.

How and why preterm birth happens is still unclear, in part because research on pregnancy tends to focus on developmental biology.
