Specimen preservation means researchers don’t need to reinvent the wheel each time they ask a new question, making it critical for the advancement of science. But many specimens are discarded or lost.
Parthenogenesis, a form of reproduction in which an egg develops into an embryo without being fertilized by sperm, might be more common than you realized.
Animals that regularly dine on toxic food may hold clues for designing new drugs to treat persistent pain in humans.
To better understand how cancer tumors grow, mathematicians use diffusion models.
New strategy helps build synthetic organs from scratch. This enabled the researchers to grow functioning liver tissue in the lab that could be transplanted into mice with liver disease.
Scientists in an artificial intelligence lab have made a breakthrough in solving the problem of how proteins fold into their final three-dimensional shape. The work could speed up creation of drugs.
DNA from the humble sea sponge is shedding light on the “dark matter” that makes up much of our genomes.
Recent studies using CRISPR to fast-track genetic studies into human disease genes appear flawed.
Research shows the clearing of forests on Indonesia’s Sulawesi island threatens the existence of endemic primates.
It’s one of the largest funding cuts to any university course, and will leave Australia ill-equipped to deal with the environmental challenges of the future.
Scientists are revealing the extent to which our behaviour is influenced by our genes, calling into question our capacity for free will. But there is still scope for change.
New research suggests individual bees are born with one of two learning styles – either curious or focused. Their genetic tendency has implications for how the hive works together.
Microbes in the gut aren’t just important for digesting your food. In pregnant women, these gut microbes are producing chemicals that are essential for proper brain development of the fetus.
Three new studies show corticosteroids can reduce deaths in critically ill COVID-19 patients. But what about other patients?
The US has a long history of forced sterilization campaigns that were driven by the bogus ‘science’ of eugenics, racism and sexism.
The extraordinary story of a stingray, its discovery and its uncertain fate in the Yemen war.
Why are scientists trying to grow organs at the International Space Station? People live on Earth not in zero-gravity. A stem cell expert explains why it is useful to do these experiments in space.
Recent cases among school children has prompted some to wonder: should we close schools again? The short answer is: no.
S. pneumoniae, the bacteria responsible for pneumonia, causes about one million deaths each year. Now we know how it uses the sugar raffinose to spread through the body to cause disease.
