Scientists propose a new mechanism by which oxygen may have first built up in the atmosphere

Researchers create a mathematical framework to examine the genome and detect signatures of natural selection, deciphering the evolutionary past and future of non-coding DNA.

The technique can help predict a cell’s path over time, such as what type of cell it will become.

Extra chromosome alters chromosomal conformation and DNA accessibility in neural progenitor cells, disrupting gene transcription and cell functions much like in cellular aging.

The clinically-trained cell biologist exploits the liver’s unique capacities in search of new medical applications.

Tomosyn’s tight regulation of neurotransmitter release distinguishes functions of two neuron classes at the fly neuromuscular junction.

A new study finds the clusters form small, stable droplets and may give the genome a gel-like structure.

The findings could inform the design of new materials such as iridescent windows or waterproof textiles.

Senior Desmond Edwards has an insatiable curiosity about how the human body works — and how diseases stop it from working.

MIT biologists show that helper immune cells disguised as cancer cells can help rejuvenate T cells that attack tumors.
