Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active.

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own version. Cornell researchers have discovered that DNA packaging structures ...

The authors of the study pictured in the facilities housing MareNostrum5, the supercomputer which was critical for processing the vast amounts of data generated by the study. Human gene maps contain ...

Scientists have discovered that avian influenza viruses have a gene that makes them incredibly resistant to heat, rendering our body's natural defense system – fever – powerless in fighting infection.

This breakthrough allows researchers to visualize where individual genes are active at the cellular level—information that has long been missing due to technical limitations in tea biology. By ...

In some of the most agriculturally rich regions in the U.S., researchers from San Diego State University are working to understand how climate change is impacting heat in rural areas and the ...

A big chill just passed through the Bay Area. The first storm of the season brought a cold, drenching rain to our backyards and dropped snow in the Sierra Nevada. But at a recent gathering of ...

Wheat feeds billions, so even small gains matter a great deal. It is also vast in scope, covering more than 215 million hectares each year, according to a recent study. A new resource maps which wheat ...

Scientists discovered genetic variants in the Turkana that help conserve water in deserts, but these variants may now raise disease risks in urban settings, early data suggest. When you purchase ...

Using genomic and transcriptional data has greatly improved the understanding of multiple aspects of human physiology. A new paper in PNAS reports on molecular-level associations of co-occurring ...

High pressure and a southerly flow of air will keep this hot stretch of weather in place just one more day, and this time the humidity will climb a bit, making it feel muggy. Also for Wednesday, the ...

The Plant Base is the go to B2B news platform for the plant-based food and beverage industry. Refreshment is your ultimate resource for staying informed and up-to-date on the water cooler, vending, ...
