Canadian man becomes first human cured with prime gene editing
6+ mon, 1+ week ago (836+ words) Ty Sperle, a 19-year-old from Kelowna, British Columbia, has become the first person cured of a rare inherited immune disorder after doctors used prime gene editing to correct a single DNA error in his own blood-forming cells. His recovery shows…...
Scientists recover the world's oldest RNA in a well-preserved woolly mammoth
9+ mon, 3+ week ago (755+ words) For years, the story of the woolly mammoth has felt fixed in the past. Ancient bones, frozen tissue, and fragments of DNA help scientists stitch together how these giants lived and died. A new study pushes that story even farther....
Hippos in the Ice Age? DNA reveals a survival story
11+ mon, 23+ hour ago (746+ words) Europe during the Ice Age wasn’t always the frozen wasteland we imagine. Between glaciers and tundra, rivers still flowed, and the land breathed in warm intervals. In those moments, something remarkable happened – hippos lived there. A new study published in…...
Scientists warn of a new biological risk and call for an international summit
8+ mon, 2+ day ago (838+ words) Thirty-eight researchers from around the world are urging caution over mirror life – a hypothetical form of biology built from mirror-image molecules that could behave unpredictably in natural systems. In response, a major biomedical research institute in Paris is convening an…...
Tiny bats hunt like lions, striking with patience and precision
10+ mon, 1+ week ago (810+ words) The forests of Panama come alive after sunset. Somewhere above the ground, a tiny bat hangs upside down, silent and alert. In that quiet, the bat waits for a sound – a frog’s croak, a faint rustle, a signal of movement....
Culture is driving human evolution faster than our genes
11+ mon, 3+ week ago (646+ words) Evolution is often framed as a slow process encoded into our DNA. Yet some scientists argue we may be witnessing a shift of a different kind – one driven not by biology but by culture. This idea challenges traditional views of…...
New life forms found in the human body described by scientists as 'insane"
10+ mon, 2+ week ago (985+ words) Humans carry around a busy community of microbes that help run daily life. This microbiome breaks down food, trains the immune system, and competes with germs. Scientists just spotted something unexpected inside those communities: tiny circular RNAs that don’t match…...
Ants in your yogurt? A long-lost recipe creates a healthier version of this traditional food
11+ mon, 3+ day ago (817+ words) People have been making yogurt for thousands of years, but a team of scientists just brought back one of the most unusual methods ever recorded – a recipe from the Balkans that begins with live forest ants. The researchers found that…...
Scientists turned a tiny parasite into a living drug factory
3+ mon, 3+ day ago (866+ words) Rewriting a hookworm’s DNA had long remained out of reach. The worm’s tough outer coating, its complex life cycle, and its poorly characterized genome kept it beyond the reach of gene-editing tools that work reliably in bacteria, mice, and human…...
Biodiversity Cell Atlas project is creating a map of every living thing, cell by cell
11+ mon, 1+ week ago (834+ words) Imagine trying to understand all of life on Earth by looking not just at whole organisms, but by zooming in to see every kind of cell they’re made of – like building a world atlas, but at the microscopic level. A…...
