What did people eat on the west coast of Scandinavia 10 000 years ago? A new study of the DNA in a chewing gum shows that deer, trout and hazelnuts were on the diet.

Scientists have created the world’s first working nanoscale electomotor. The team designed a turbine engineered from DNA that is powered by hydrodynamic flow inside a nanopore, a nanometer-sized hole in a membrane of solid-state silicon nitride.

Researchers have made an important discovery shedding light on the genetic basis of a rare skeletal disorder. The study reveals that a defect in a specific gene may cause a disorder that affects the structure of connective tissues.

A new study from UCLA researchers found that a species of bacteria within the semen microbiome is associated with lower sperm mobility, which could contribute to male factor infertility.

Penn Medicine analysis aims to fill knowledge gaps and help guide clinical decisions for a group particularly vulnerable to developing glaucoma.

An international team of researchers has uncovered a remarkable genetic phenomenon in lycophytes, which are similar to ferns and among the oldest land plants.

A missing gene involved in connecting the head of a sperm to its tail could be a cause of male infertility, reports a thesis from the University of Gothenburg.

Female Meadow Brown butterflies have fewer spots if they develop in warmer weather – so climate change could make them less spotty, new research shows.

New research has been published that identifies positive steps towards a better understanding of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), specifically in hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP).

With the incidence of pre-eclampsia slowly creeping up, researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed a new way to study this condition as outlined in their paper published in Cell Stem Cell.
