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.

‘Three-parent IVF’ was supposed to prevent mitochondrial disease. Studies are raising doubts
By Megan Molteni and Edward Chen “The general public may have the idea that it is very safe and low risk and that’s just not the case,” said Bert Smeets, a professor in clinical genomics who studies mitochondrial diseases at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. Data published in 2010 by…
Antifreeze proteins take two roads to arrive at the same destination
Antifreeze proteins take two roads to arrive at the same destination lead image Antifreeze proteins (AFPs), like their name implies, prevent freezing in organisms by inhibiting ice crystal growth. They can function at low…

New approach switches on protein degradation machinery
If cellular protein degradation is like the garbage truck picking up the neighborhood trash, then a new approach takes the brakes off and speeds up trash collection. Researchers led by Michael Rapé at the University of…
Scientists identify nuclear function of cGAS that affects tumor growth — News-Medical

Around age 13, the brain’s reward system starts responding more to strangers’ voices than to mom’s, Stanford scans show why
During childhood, a mother’s voice holds particular significance for the brain. As children enter adolescence, however, the neural systems involved in processing socially important sounds begin to respond differently. Unfamiliar…

Did viruses borrow their shells from bacteria? New evidence raises questions
Tiny viruses found in gut DNA carry a virus protein shell much like the boxes bacteria use for chemistry, and the design crossed both ways. Many viruses have a remarkably simple design: a protein shell containing their genetic material. Bacteria build almost the same shell and use it as a…
