Trevor van Eeuwen, PhD, was nominated by The Rockefeller University for the 2026 Balvatnik Regional Awards for Young Scientists. He was recognized for using advanced imaging techniques and cell studies to uncover how hidden DNA elements copy themselves...

Clinical trial shows how broadly-neutralizing antibody therapy could work with the immune system to one day make daily treatment unnecessary.

Discover how Nobel-class research can take decades to transform medicine, technology and society, and why long-term impact matters.

When flies encounter a tasty smell, they stroll in and out of the odor plume to keep track of it, encoding a memory of the angle they need to travel.

A new study found that three minutes of intense exercise floods our blood with molecules linked to better health.

Cell biologist Junyue Cao creates high-throughput single-cell methods to explore how aging shapes cells and organisms.

In this Review, the authors discuss recent data showing that telomere attrition is a powerful tumour-suppressor mechanism that limits the development of a wide variety of human cancers.

A new study finds that an all-out sprint may have unique benefits when it comes to the proteins and tiny molecules in your bloodstream.

By deciphering the molecular signatures of millions of mouse cells, Junyue Cao has found that aging is not haphazard wear and tear but rather a “remodeling of the cell society.”

Samuel Henderson, 12, can imitate 132 bird species with startling accuracy. His talent offers a window into how the human vocal tract can approximate sounds evolved for very different anatomy.

The older people get, the more individualized their health status becomes, challenging conventional age-based clinical guidelines.

Tracking smells in turbulent air takes a keen sense of direction and sharp memory.

‘The characterization of cancer intrinsic regulatory landscape remains elusive. Here, the authors generate a pan-cancer single cell transcriptomic and epigenomic atlas and identify subtype-specific ge...

In 1999, the American Philosophical Society held a symposium that gathered experts from around the world to make predictions about humanity in the 21st century. One of those experts, demographer and statistician Joel Cohen, met with host Patrick Spero t...

​By repurposing ancient feeding signals, clonal raider ants coordinate brood care and foraging, offering new insights into the evolution of social behavior.

Long before they land, mosquitoes are reading our body signals from afar. Find out if you feature high on the bloodsuckers' hit list.

When monkeys draw novel complex shapes, neural activity representing a previously learned repertoire appears in a single brain area.

The neurobiologist Erich Jarvis studies the few species capable of speech. He has long hoped to genetically engineer an animal that can make new calls.
