Mammoth Biosciences researchers have developed NanoCas, an ultracompact CRISPR nuclease, demonstrating its ability to perform gene editing in non-liver tissues, including skeletal muscle, using a single adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector. Experiments in

Across Kenya, grasslands underpin people's lives—as well as those of animals like elephants, giraffes, and hyenas. But the climate crisis is drying out these habitats, forcing people and animals to compete for resources, and increasing both community ten

A new study led by Prof. Tan Zhiliang from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has unveiled intricate coordination mechanisms between ruminal mucosal microbiota and host epithelial cells across developmental stages.

Picture a horse running across an open field, the wind blowing his mane, his hooves stamping into the grassy knoll, eyes on the horizon.

In 1862, Charles Darwin predicted the existence of a moth with a long tongue based on a comet orchid's nectar spurs. This was confirmed in 1903 with the discovery of a long-tongued hawkmoth, illustrating morphological trait matching in nature.

In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics at Karolinska Institutet, have discovered that water molecules play a crucial role in helping proteins, specifically tra

Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different cells are shuttled around. While this process, known as c

Undersea mountains are key locations for predators—with 41 times more sharks than the open ocean, new research shows.

Researchers have revealed new details about the CRISPR-Cas5-HNH/Cascade complex, a variant of the type I-E CRISPR-Cas system, providing insights into its DNA recognition and cleavage mechanisms.

Pangolins are unique as they are the only mammal to be covered in scales. Even though they are scaly, photos of them are typically met with "awwws" from the viewers, who find them adorable. Importantly, though, pangolins play an essential role i

Understanding the behavior of tiny droplets in our cells could aid the search for new treatments. A team of Leiden researchers has developed a method to study how these droplets transition from liquid to solid. This change plays a role in various diseases

An interdisciplinary research team from Leipzig University and the Saxon AI center ScaDS.AI has developed a novel approach that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) methods with biophysical modeling. This innovative strategy can be applied to the devel
