Scientists have discovered that centromeres consist of two parts that bind to microtubules. This discovery advances understanding of cell division and may help in cancer cell research.
Scientists have unearthed a history of genetic exchange between modern humans and Neanderthals, revealing multiple waves of interference that have occurred over millennia, suggesting a much closer connection between these early human groups than previously thought.
New research reveals details of the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) that lived 4.2 billion years ago, providing insight into early life on Earth. Scientists analyzed genes and evolutionary models to understand LUCA's biology and ecosystem.
The transition of the global fleet from fossil fuels to ammonia as a marine fuel can cause significant health problems due to the emission of nitrogen oxides and unburned ammonia, mit researchers warn. Stricter regulations and cleaner engine technologies are needed to reduce negative impacts on public health.
Registration of research plans is a key step to increase transparency and reliability in scientific research. Scientists from the RBI and universities from Australia highlight the importance of this practice for advancing environmental and medical research.
Scientists from leading research institutes have made significant progress in developing an HIV vaccine. New research suggests the possibility of producing antibodies that could neutralize different strains of the virus, which is a key step towards an effective vaccine.
