Two mechanisms, independent of daylight, may enable pigeons to navigate using Earth’s magnetic field

As Europe marks European Immunization Week (EIW) 2026, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) reports continued progress in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination across the Eur...

We are a global nonprofit organization that advocates for mothers in STEMM and creates evidence-based solutions to promote workplace equity and inclusion of caregivers.

States are rolling back coverage for lifesaving medications.

Transposable elements (TEs), such as retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses, are increasingly recognized for their important roles in genome function and impact on disease development. Residing ...

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 has renewed interest in the relationship between immunity and cognition. Despite decades of work, the impact of viral expo…

L’autisme est-il une maladie ? Une condition génétique ? Naît-on autiste ou le devient-on ? Pour mieux comprendre ce que la science sait de cette condition, qui touche environ 1 % de la population, Ch...

Current therapies for neurodegenerative diseases largely manage symptoms and only modestly slow progression. This Perspective highlights emerging evidence that vaccines and antivirals may lower…

The emergence of a chemical system capable of self-replication and evolution is a critical event in the origin of life. RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but their large size and structural ...

Two new studies add to a remarkable body of evidence for benefit

“I am hungry, so hungry, for some depiction of Covid that tells the truth. That what was done to us was not just unbearable, but wrong,” an emergency physician writes of “The Pitt.”

Researchers identified anoctamin-2 (ANO2) as a frequent autoimmune target in multiple sclerosis, with T cell responses against ANO2 occurring in over half of patients. These ANO2-specific T cells shar...

Researchers identified anoctamin-2 (ANO2) as a frequent autoimmune target in multiple sclerosis, with T cell responses against ANO2 occurring in over half of patients. These ANO2-specific T cells share cross-reactivity and pathogenic features with T cell responses to EBNA1 from Epstein-Barr virus, and their activation worsens MS-like disease in mice.

Spillover of influenza A viruses from animals to humans represents a threat to our health. This Perspective discusses emerging research that suggests some influenza A viruses can enter host cells via ...

AbstractSummary. Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) offer valuable insights into virus and host evolution, but their detection remains computationally and bi

Somatic mutations that increase the fitness of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) drive their expansion in clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and predispose individuals to blood cancers. Population variation in t...

Immense progress in gene-editing, drug discovery and conservation are just some of the reasons to be cheerful about 2025.

Most current autism research focuses on categorical comparisons (e.g., autistic vs. neurotypical people) and usually examines only one biological domain (e.g., cognition, genetics, or brain imaging). ...

Using genomics, evolutionary biologists test several hypotheses on the origin of viruses. New evidence suggests they may have emerged more times than previously thought.
