There may be an evolutionary thread linking big brains, long lifespans and immune-system genes in mammals, a new study finds. An organism’s lifespan depends partly on its genes, but scientists have ...

A team of EPFL scientists tested the reproducibility of five decades of research on fly immunity. Most of those research results proved to be valid ...

In a significant move to bolster its position in the oncology diagnostics market, Natera, Inc. has announced the acquisition of Foresight Diagnostics. The al ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...
