Graham Johnson, a computational biologist and scientific illustrator at the Allen Institute for Cell Science, recalls fantasizing at a lunch table, more than 15 years ago, about a computer model of a ...

Kate Adamala started work on a cell in which the natural molecular structure is reversed. Then a possible doomsday scenario became clear.

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals danger. When the sun shines on your skin, what does it hit? When it causes a ...

All known natural life uses L (left-handed) amino acids in proteins and D (right-handed) sugars in DNA and RNA. In contrast, mirror life would use D proteins and L sugars — effectively a reversed ...

The Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded on Monday to three scientists for discovering how a particular kind of cell can stop ...

The state budget bill signed by Gov. Mike DeWine bans students from using cell phones under most circumstances in K-12 public schools. Districts must adopt the policy by Jan. 1, 2026. While some ...
