The microprotein PIGBOS (magenta) shown sitting on the outer membranes of mitochondria (green), where it is poised to make contact with other organelles in the…
The 1KP initiative, a collaborative effort of nearly 200 scientists, spans green algae to land plants, providing a framework for examining 1 billion years of…
A puma kitten, at home in her nursery, peers through a hole in a redwood log in the Sana Cruz Mountains. Scientists have now sequenced…
Greater understanding of phenomena could enable unprecedented control over gene expression. Magnetogenetics — the idea that you can use magnetic fields to control cells and…
The molecules of life are twisted. But how those familiar strands in DNA’s double helix manage to replicate without being tangled up has been hard…

Along the genome, proteins form liquid-like droplets that appear to boost the expression of particular genes. In recent years, MIT scientists have developed a new…
A new study looks at how three-banded panther worms are able to regenerate their whole bodies and how this regeneration could be applied to humans.…
The picture shows the developing ferret brain. Magenta marks glial cells and clearly shows the outer contour of the brain. The green area consists of…
