Fruit flies, mice, zebrafish, yeast and the tiny worm C. elegans are model organisms that have carried modern biology on ...

Schools must evolve to teach digital literacy, genetics, and sustainability—preparing students not just for future jobs, but for the world they live in today.

We often treat learning as something that can be accessed with enough motivation and discipline. But learning depends on something more basic: whether the nervous system is in a state that allows for ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have identified a molecular "switch" that determines whether pancreatic cancer cells resist chemotherapy or respond to it—a finding that could help convert some ...

The mechanism for muscle stem cells repair could inspire therapeutics for muscle loss caused by injury, aging and weight-loss ...

Duke Health researchers found small RNA molecules known as piRNAs can accurately predict whether older adults are likely to ...

Plants are fast-tracking their own evolution by "plugging in" genetic code stolen from their neighbors, according to new research that reveals the secret to their own successful genetic engineering.

Scientists have identified a crucial molecular switch that decides whether pancreatic cancer cells resist chemotherapy or respond to it. The key player, a gene called GATA6, keeps tumours in a more ...

MRI scans of over 600 Finnish adults found that nearly all had frayed, torn or otherwise abnormal rotator cuffs — yet most ...
