But a growing body of research has discovered that biological aging doesn’t happen at a steady pace. As a result, there are certain times in your life where your cells may age faster than others. If ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Fruit flies, mice, zebrafish, yeast and the tiny worm C. elegans are model organisms that have carried modern biology on ...

In a unique class hosted at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, early-career ecologists learned to apply emerging ...

Planting trees is a vital strategy to combat both climate change and the biodiversity crisis. As forests grow, they sponge ...

A new study has found that SuperAgers also grow more neurons than other older adults groups, helping to keep their brains healthy. As we age, it’s not uncommon for the brain to change in ways that can ...
