Search the life sciences
Results tuned to biology
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.

Ancient Genome Function Persists Despite Frequent Mutations
4+ hour, 26+ min ago (405+ words) Every time a cell divides, its chromosomes must be distributed correctly between the two daughter cells. Central to this process is the centromere, a specialised region of the chromosome. The centromere serves as the attachment site for the cellular machinery…...

Bacterial Immunity—or a Form of Sex?
5+ hour, 7+ min ago (543+ words) Do bacteria have sex? For decades, scientists thought that bacteria reproduced by asexual cell division, known as binary fission, and occasionally took up free DNA or exchanged genetic material “horizontally” from cell to cell. However, evidence suggesting a primitive form…...
Hibernating Hamsters Rewrite Their Histones, Not Their DNA, to Survive
58+ min ago (678+ words) Every winter, the Syrian hamster performs one of biology’s most remarkable feats: it switches its body into a state of profound torpor, dropping its metabolism and core temperature to levels that would be lethal to most mammals, and then reverses…...
Massive benchmark of 156,000 genomes reveals which annotation tool to trust
58+ min ago (55+ words) Every time a microbiologist sequences a new bacterium or archaeon, the raw string of A, C, G and T letters must be translated into something biologically meaningful: where the genes start and stop, what proteins they encode, and what those…...
Fungus Hidden in Mangrove Leaves Wields Powerful Weapons Against
1+ hour, 9+ min ago (712+ words) Deep in the salt-soaked mangrove forests of Chorao Island in Goa, India, scientists have unearthed a microscopic ally in the fight against one of medicine’s most urgent threats....
One Drug, Three Species: Direct AMPK Activation Extends Lifespan Across
1+ hour, 9+ min ago (806+ words) A single molecule that switches on one of the body’s most ancient energy sensors has now been shown to lengthen the lives of yeast, worms and flies, in a cross-species study that many researchers are calling one of the cleanest…...
Carbohydrate-active enzymes from a core root mycobiota member enable infection of multiple plant hosts - Nature Microbiology
6+ hour, 11+ min ago (1625+ words) Nature Microbiology (2026) Cite this article We previously isolated 7 strains of P. cucumerina and 1 strain of P. plurivora from surface-sterilized A. thaliana roots sampled across Europe6. We imported 64 additional strains from 17 collaborators or culture collections, sampled from different hosts and environments across different continents (ee…...
Silver-Dressed Cobalt Oxide Flowers Tear Apart Dye Pollution Faster Under
2+ hour, 50+ min ago (504+ words) A team of chemical engineers at Atatürk University in Erzurum, Türkiye, has reported a strikingly simple recipe for making wastewater treatment electrodes work harder: grow cobalt oxide into microscopic flowers shaped like chrysanthemums, then dust their petals with silver or…...
BK Virus Kidney Infection Shows Broad Immune Disruption in Transplant
4+ hour, 58+ min ago (686+ words) BK virus-associated nephropathy, a potentially devastating complication of kidney transplantation, has long been recognized as a disorder of immune balance: the immunosuppressive drugs that protect a transplanted kidney from rejection also blunt the antiviral defenses that normally keep this ubiquitous…...
