NASA’s $1.2 billion PRIMA will explore how galaxies evolve and how planets emerge from disks of gas and dust

A bioactive lipid activates aPKC like phosphorylation does but switches the effect of aPKC on apoptosis.

To address drug-resistant tuberculosis, the leading single-pathogen infectious killer, drugs with novel modes of action (MoAs) are urgently needed. Phenotypic screening of chemical libraries can ident...

Luciana Gatti, who studies carbon uptake in the Amazon, aims to join Brazil’s lower house in this week’s elections

Fingertips of Suriname toads are hypersensitive motion detectors, new study reveals

The human brain’s capacity to imagine visual scenes from memory is thought to rely on the medial temporal subsystem of the default mode network (MT-DMN), yet the neural codes supporting this ability r...

The CD1 system responds to lipids, not proteins, driving reactions to bee stings, bacteria, and possibly poison ivy

Breakthroughs in genetically altering cephalopods pave way for new studies of perception, brain evolution, and more

Neutrophils adopt a tissue-adapted state at the early maternal-fetal interface that supports trophoblast invasion.

Decision risks “incalculable loss” of data from the edge of the Sun’s influence, scientists say

New underground labs are being built as war rages on

A gel that bats lick off one another’s fur could help prevent rabies outbreaks in cattle, a growing problem in Latin America

The eruption of Vesuvius volcano witnessed by Pliny the Younger in 79 CE is dated by the argon-40/argon-39 (40Ar/39Ar) method to 1938 ± 13 years (SD) before measurement in 2025 CE. Achievement of 0.7%...

Ancient viral warfare could be at the root of modern class 1 CRISPR bacterial defense systems

Climate change is recognized as a key amplifier of human-wildlife conflict, yet the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Japan’s 2025 bear crisis, which produced 232 casualties, has been wi...

A plasma membrane adaptor protein supports cytotoxic T cell function by connecting with the actin network.

Bidirectional cross-talk between neural circuits and tumors drives cancer progression and can be therapeutically targeted through drug repurposing.

Reconstructions of climate over the past millennium provide context for disentangling anthropogenic forcing from natural multidecadal variability. However, the strength of the east-west tropical Pacif...

Cultural learning permeates human skill and knowledge acquisition. To understand its importance for nonhuman apes, we analyzed just under 7000 records of behavioral bouts of social and individual lear...

Despite recent proof-of-concept advances, aromatic carbon-to-nitrogen replacement reactions remain substrate specific and exhibit an overreliance on harsh oxidation methods that preclude their deploym...

A rapid CRISPR-based nanodroplet assay enables multiplex detection and subspecies-level identification of mycobacteria in clinical samples.
