Inside every cell, a finely tuned metabolic network determines when to build, recycle, or stop producing essential molecules.

Scientists are hopeful it will improve understanding of how genes work, what goes wrong in disease, and how to fix it.

For more than four decades, the suspect in the 1981 murder of Elizabeth King at her Moffatt Avenue home remained a mystery. Her case file sat untouched in the archives until September of last year.

Using comparative molecular biology with human cGAS – which actually inhibits DNA repair – the scientists found that the naked mole-rat's enzyme has four key changes that facilitate the important work ...

The Internet has Google. Now biology has MetaGraph. Detailed today in Nature, the search engine can quickly sift through the staggering volumes of biological data housed in public repositories. “It’s ...

Jennifer Aniston has revealed why she never adopted kids, despite long-standing public preoccupation with her fertility. “When people say, ‘But you can adopt,’ I don’t want to adopt,” Aniston said ...

The secret to the naked mole-rats' extraordinarily long life may lie in subtle changes to just four amino acids, researchers report. According to a new study, evolutionary mutations in cGAS – an ...
