Biologists are confronting a problem they thought they had mostly solved: what, exactly, counts as life. A wave of ...

When a maize plant is attacked by the fungus Ustilago maydis, tumor-like tissue growths occur at the site of infection. How the pathogen causes this response in its host has long been unknown. But a ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

A University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) study, published in Nature Communications, uncovers how enteroviruses—including those causing polio, myocarditis, encephalitis, and the common ...

New York, New York, November 4, 2025 – From November 19-20, SIFMA will host its Market Structure Conference in New York City. A virtual option will be available for reporters unable to attend ...

Large molecule biotherapeutics are primarily expressed and produced in mammalian host cells then purified from complex mixtures containing growth media and host cell material. Identifying, monitoring, ...

Even after decades of peering into cells, biologists are still finding surprises. In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders. The existence of the organelle—which has been dubbed the "hemifusome"—was ...

Allogeneic peripheral-blood stem-cell transplantation (SCT) from a matched related donor after myeloablative conditioning is the preferred curative treatment for patients with high-risk blood cancers.

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of chromosomes inside individual cells ...

A new study reveals the biological secret to the Zika virus's infectious success: Zika uses host cells' own 'self-care' system of clearing away useless molecules to suppress the host proteins that the ...
