A genomic analysis suggests humans had the cognitive capacity for language at least 135,000 years ago, based on early population splits. Researchers examined genetic studies and migration patterns.

Researchers at the University of Adelaide found that early embryo development affects telomere length, a key marker of aging and chronic disease risk. Maternal health at conception influences this process.

Insights into the fundamental process of how the heart is formed offer new hope for treating heart disease. The findings focus on long, thin, channels of membranes – called Tunneling Nanotube-Like Structures - that connect cells together.

Researchers have succeeded in producing nanotubes that fold into cytoskeleton-like structures, using a new RNA origami technique.

A person’s “bioenergetic age”, or how youthfully their cells generate energy, might be a key indicator of whether they’re at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, new research from Weill Cornell Medicine shows.

The fat-tailed dwarf lemur can turn back the cellular aging clock during its annual hibernation season.

Researchers from the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology, in collaboration with other scientists, have discovered a way to enhance the immune system's ability to fight cancer by reprogramming T-cell metabolism.

Mount Sinai researchers have developed a method to uncover the hidden immune cells that harbor the human immunodeficiency virus.

Research from The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology shows a gene called Syngap1 enables touch-based perception, while certain mutations can lead to mixed signals.

Antigenic variation is a key mechanism by which pathogens evade the immune system. New research has shown how trypanosomes change their antigen expression.
