Forty years after the first effort to extract mummy DNA, researchers have finally generated a full genome sequence from an ancient Egyptian.

Spatially segregated rRNA processing dictates nucleolar morphology and drives outward progression of pre-ribosomal RNA through nucleolar phases.

A stereotaxic atlas of the whole mouse brain, based on a Nissl-stained cytoarchitecture dataset with isotropic 1-m resolution, achieved through continuous micro-optical sectioning tomography, promises to be a versatile brainsmatics tool for studying ...

Researchers studying research must avoid the temptation to get too stuck in the academic weeds.

Survey finds law requiring married couples to share the same family name causes havoc for researchers.

Tropical regions where heatwaves are already common will be hardest hit by this trend.

The periderm layers of plants form an outer protective barrier. If the periderm is broken, movement of the gases ethylene and oxygen triggers a healing process.

A computational workflow designs proteins with catalytic efficiencies comparable to those of some natural enzymes -- a landmark result for the field.

Stereoselective synthetic routes use P3HB (a polyester produced by bacteria) as a chiral feedstock for related polymers that have properties more amenable to processing and use.

Shared inter-brain neural dynamics, reflecting aspects of social interaction including self and other's behaviours, arise in GABAergic neurons of the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex of socially interacting mice, as well as in the neurons of socially .. ...
