International team of researchers has identified DNA mutations in a gene that senses viral RNA, as a cause of the autoimmune disease lupus.

A world-first Edith Cowan University study has confirmed the link between Alzheimers and gut health, which could lead to new treatments.

Researchers have discovered that those who have a certain version of a gene involved in cell nutrition tend to accumulate less fat.

The missing link isn’t a not-yet-discovered fossil, after all. It’s a tiny, self-replicating globule called a coacervate droplet.

Humans appear to have the genes for a full coat of body hair, but evolution has disabled them, scientists at University of Utah report.

Israeli scientists have cracked code to better understand the genetic causes of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

When you get hungry, you grab a snack from your fridge or pantry. But what can plants do when they get hungry? They make it themselves!

One question asked frequently by undergraduates to Kevin Padian stuck with him: Why are the arms of Tyrannosaurus rex so ridiculously short.

Researchers have brought the first evidence of nonrandom mutation in human genes, challenging a core assumption at the heart of evolution.

Cigarette smoking is overwhelmingly the main cause of lung cancer, yet only a minority of smokers develop the disease.

A global study led by the University of Otago has discovered a gene, that when modified, could reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Modern humans evolutionarily split from our chimpanzee ancestors nearly 7 million years ago, yet we are continuing to evolve.

International team of researchers has identified DNA mutations in a gene that senses viral RNA, as a cause of the autoimmune disease lupus.

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time one way that a small molecule turns a single cell into something as large as a tree.

The missing link isn’t a not-yet-discovered fossil, after all. It’s a tiny, self-replicating globule called a coacervate droplet.

Dogs are unique from other mammals in their reciprocated bond with humans which can be demonstrated though mutual gaze.

Researchers have discovered that those who have a certain version of a gene involved in cell nutrition tend to accumulate less fat.

Israeli scientists believe they cracked code to better understand the genetic causes of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Researchers have determined that biomarkers known as microRNAs can predict which patients with breast cancer are likely to face recurrence.

Cigarette smoking is overwhelmingly the main cause of lung cancer, yet only a minority of smokers develop the disease.
