Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Duckweed is the fastest-growing flowering plant, but new knowledge of duckweed genetics discovered by Adelaide University ...

Purdue Biologist Stanton B. Gelvin explained how Agrobacterium moves DNA into wounded plant cells, and why cracking that “black box” matters for agriculture during a seminar Wednesday afternoon at the ...

A version of this Priestley Medal address will be presented at the American Chemical Society Spring 2026 meeting ...

Phase separation in nuclear cell biology represents a conceptual framework for understanding how cells spatially and temporally regulate gene expression.

A 125-million-year-old fossil reveals a newly discovered dinosaur covered in unusual spikes scientists have never seen before.

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Kioxia is sampling UFS (Universal Flash Storage) 4.1 embedded memory devices with 4-bit-per-cell, quadruple-level cell (QLC) technology. The new devices feature the company’s 8th generation BiCS FLASH ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers. (Nanowerk ...

It is possible to reduce the biological noise to a desired level. Without any control mechanism, external stimuli cause the population-level average of cellular outputs to shift. Existing control ...

It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about the behavior or nature and evolution. Now, USC researchers want to add a ...
