4Biology is a focused search engine built for biology students, researchers, educators, and lab managers. We combine multiple indexes, curated sources, and AI tools to surface publications, protocols, datasets, suppliers, and learning resources that matter to life scientists. Use the site to save time, find specialized resources, and get context-specific search results not optimized for general web traffic. Part of the 4SEARCH network of topic specific search engines.
Researchers with the international Farm Animal Genotype-Tissue Expression project have constructed a multi-tissue transcriptomic atlas across fifty-one sheep tissues, mapping millions of regulatory variants that shape complex livestock traits and ancient evolutionary adaptation.
Unlike traditional DNA testing, which often focuses on genetic material from a single organism, metagenomic sequencing can detect DNA from many different species within the same sample. This makes it particularly useful for…
Two independent research teams have unveiled near-complete reference genomes of the central bearded dragon, a reptile with the rare ability to change sex depending on both chromosomes and nest temperature. Using next-generation…
Children & Teens: 646-895-6193 Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center was founded in 1884, and today is a world leader in patient care, research, and educational programs. This information…
A narrative review synthesizes evidence showing mitochondrial dysfunction amplifies senescence-associated secretory signaling through context-dependent innate immune sensing rather than serving as a universal initiator of cellular senescence.
"We all came to very similar conclusions after working on these projects for years without knowing of other teams doing the same. I find this fascinating!" said Rousseaux. Stressed Out. SUMO-tagged TDP-43 (purple) clusters in…
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) protein, a member of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-related protein kinase (PIKK) family, has a central role in two growth-regulatory pathways that have ... The mammalian target of…
Press conferences, expert Q&A and pitches in a live, virtual setting (L to R) Second author Miriam Dillard, first author Eric Hall, PhD, and corresponding author, Stacey Ogden, PhD, St. Jude Department of Cell and Molecular Biology. Researchers in Ogden’s lab were the first to visualize mammalian cytonemes in the…
Lucid dreams happen when someone becomes aware that they are dreaming while remaining asleep. Unlike ordinary dreams, this experience allows the dreamer to recognize that the events happening around them are not real. Scientists…
An experiment shows that salt-loving microorganisms can reproduce under some of the harsh conditions thought possible beneath Mars' surface, raising new questions about whether life could exist there today. Mars is cold, dry, and almost airless. But in a laboratory on Earth, scientists recreated some of its harshest conditions and…
