By freezing a crucial phosphoric acid complex to near absolute zero, scientists uncovered a single, unexpectedly stable structure at the heart of proton transport.

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

For decades, scientists believed a fertilized egg’s DNA began as a shapeless mass, only organizing itself once the embryo switched on its genes. But new research reveals that the genome is already ...

Phase separation in nuclear cell biology represents a conceptual framework for understanding how cells spatially and temporally regulate gene expression.

Upper class is always hard to define, and it’s something of a moving target. Between lifestyle choices, regional costs and inflation, “upper class” most definitely means different things to different ...

Major depression is not only a crisis of mood, it is also a crisis of biology that reshapes the brain itself. As genetic tools sharpen, scientists are now tracing how inherited risk for depression is ...
