Vaults are mysterious cellular structures that can be genetically engineered to store information about a cell’s history.

Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful ...

After centuries of mapping the human body in ever-finer detail, scientists are still making discoveries. Here we are, in 2025, and a previously unknown cellular structure that could be vital to our ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

YAHOO.COM - Sixty years after scientists described the chemical code of life — an interweaving double helix called DNA — researchers have found four-stranded DNA is also lurking in human cells. The ...

Biologists mapping the human microbiome expected to find new bacteria and viruses, not entities that slip through every familiar category of life. Yet that is what several research teams now say they ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Every human born on this planet is not entirely themselves. A tiny fraction of our cells – around one in a million – is actually not our own, but comes from our mothers. That means each of us has ...

Instead of killing bacteria, scientists found a way to gently guide gut microbes to produce compounds linked to longevity and healthier aging.
