In evolutionary biology, all life on Earth is theoretically part of a single phylogenetic tree, indicating common ancestry.

Almost all animal species—including humans—have blood cells, but between different species our blood tells different stories. The lineage and components of blood cells vary widely, and this variety is ...

Cancer does not develop overnight. It can take decades for cancer-promoting changes in the genome to eventually lead to the formation of a malignant tumor. Researchers at the German Cancer Research ...

Researchers from the University of Sydney have developed a system that mimics natural selection inside living mammalian cells but in a very controlled setting. They call it PROTEUS, short for PROTein ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

In a study published in Developmental Cell, a team led by Prof. Robert K. Naumann from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and researchers from BGI ...

This groundbreaking neurotechnology allows scientists to activate neurons with light, opening new frontiers in brain research ...

Thought too hard to do, a new platform evolved proteins in mammalian cells, which could help researchers design drugs that work better in humans. “There are many, many examples, both published and ...
