Viral diseases remain a significant global health challenge, causing widespread morbidity and mortality. Advances in ...

The brains of birds and mammals have diverged substantially during the course of evolution. A research team at the Center for Molecular Biology of Heidelberg University has investigated how similar ...

The brains of birds and mammals have diverged substantially during the course of evolution. A research team led by Prof. Dr Henrik Kaessmann at the ...

Scientists found that evolution led bird and mammal brains to evolve separately, using different genetic instructions.

Enzymes are proteins – large molecules that do the behind-the-scenes work that keep all living things alive. These proteins are made up of amino acids, a set of building blocks that can be stitched ...

Evolution is traditionally associated with increasing complexity and gaining new genes, but gene loss and simplification also ...

Billions of years ago, the molecular building blocks of life emerged from a complex web of chemical and geological processes.

A new study explores how complex chemical mixtures change under shifting environmental conditions, shedding light on the prebiotic processes that may have led to life. By exposing organic molecules to ...

Due to its proximity to humans, it regularly, although involuntarily hitches a ride on ships and planes, eventually invading ...

Scientists have created the first-ever 3D maps of star-forming molecular clouds near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, ...

A recent study presents a new way to understand life by describing it as a cascade of machines producing machines, spanning ...
