Discover how researchers found that microplastics in waterways can act as a carrier for pathogens and antimicrobial resistant bacteria.

Who are the real mutants, and what’s going to cure them? Of course, we all are mutants – not just as the Homo sapiens sapiens limited-edition model from 4.5 billion years of mutation at Terrestrial ...

"Traditional gene-editing technologies work best with single mutations and are expensive to optimize, so gene therapies tend to focus on the mutations that are the most common," Buffington said. "But ...
