Researchers have reconstructed the evolutionary relationship between a 2 million year old extinct primate and today's living orangutan.

A protein called IL-36g could keep the herpes virus from spreading to the nervous system in women, researchers have discovered.

For DNA repair, proteins build a relatively huge scaffold around the fracture.The proportions are roughly that of "a basketball and a pin head."

A newly discovered vesicle is the first identified in 20 years and the smallest known, say researchers. And it acts like a bike courier.

An antibody that gunks up the machinery that flu viruses use to replicate in mice could be the first step towards a universal flu vaccine.

Mapping the proteins secreted by brown and white fat reveals their different roles throughout the body.

A cerebral hemorrhage can cause brain damage even after a patient survives, but new research indicates a way to stop it.

Engineered signaling pathways could offer a new way to build synthetic biology circuits.

Low levels of a protein called TOM-1 may be behind inflammation in Alzheimer's disease, but fixing the problem could be a new way to fight the condition.

A common protein in nano-bio labs is prone to pushing gold nanorods into right-handed chiral assemblies—while producing chiral plasmonic signals to match.
