Mfantsipim rose out of a spirit of social responsibility, and that spirit has survived the test of time and is evident in the lives of many Old Boys who work to improve the lives of many through ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota say they have built thefirst synthetic cell made entirely from non-living chemical ...

The microscopic yeast that could survive in association with a 5,300-year-old body feels unlikely, almost speculative. Yet the frozen remains of Ötzi, the Copper Age “Iceman” preserved in the Alps and ...

Introduction Psychotic disorders account for significant morbidity and healthcare costs and yet their pathophysiology remains poorly understood. The National Institute for Health and Care Research ...

While many of life's mysteries remain unsolved, every biologist can describe the basic processes performed by a living organism, including energy use, reproduction, growth and development. While these ...

Silver nanoparticles provide a more efficient way to cut and assemble DNA, improving recovery rates and boosting DNA joining ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...
