In biological systems, proteins communicate by locking onto specific molecular partners with high precision. For decades, scientists have tried to...

Underwater caves can read like locked time capsules—bones survive, surfaces remain detailed, and ancient animals leave chemical traces. Yet figuring...

Honey bee colonies are increasingly pressured by temperature extremes that disrupt normal physiology and threaten survival. A new study suggests...

In a study poised to reshape how scientists think about diet-linked metabolic disease, researchers report that activating free fatty acid...

Elephants can “hear” their environment in more ways than we do. Beyond airborne sounds, they transmit signals through their bodies:...

Medaka (Oryzias latipes) males are famous for their intense, repeatable spawning behavior during breeding season. In a new study, researchers...

Cells behave like crowded cities, yet many crucial molecular conversations have been impossible to watch directly in real time. Traditional...

Lockdown birth cohort research is adding new evidence to the long-running debate over how early-life disruptions shape later development. A...

Using sound to guide living cells, researchers have now demonstrated how engineered tissue can be actively steered toward forming blood-vessel-like...

A new study in PLOS Biology reports the first experimental evidence that non-human primates can experience the uncanny valley—an effect...
