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 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…...
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…...
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…...
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…...
How scientists are turning invasive crazy ants against themselves
9+ mon, 4+ week ago (954+ words) Tawny crazy ants have been causing major problems in the southern U.S. for years. From Florida to Texas, these invasive pests have overrun yards, homes, and ecosystems. The ants aren’t just annoying – they push out native species and throw entire environments…...
Antarctica is home to microbes found nowhere else on Earth
1+ week, 4+ day ago (759+ words) Antarctic soils harbor microbes found nowhere else on Earth, revealing a hidden world of life uniquely adapted to the continent’s extreme conditions. A new study has found that there are microbes in Antarctica’s soil that don’t exist anywhere else on…...
Which animal really came first? The debate may finally be settled
9+ mon, 3+ week ago (881+ words) A question has stirred up arguments in biology for years: which creature sits at the very base of the animal family tree? The choice seems simple. It is either the sponge, which has no muscles and no neurons, or the…...
Cells surprise scientists with lighter-than-expected nuclei
11+ mon, 1+ week ago (795+ words) Cells are busy places packed with molecules that jostle, react, and move. Biologists have long pictured the nucleus as the most crowded spot in that bustle, yet new measurements say otherwise. A multi-institution team has reported that in cells, the…...
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…...
