Scientists around the world investigate how bat immune systems cope with viral attacks and how this information could be used to keep humans safe.

The findings could help researchers understand why some individuals are more vulnerable to deadly Chagas disease.

Researchers made the find using an algorithm that purportedly distinguishes between mutations that were selected for and those that came along for the ride by coincidence, a feat that has long eluded scientists.

We have barely scratched the surface of itch science and what it indicates about our health.

Regulatory T cells in the colon travel to muscles to promote wound healing in mice, raising questions about how antibiotics may impact injury recovery.

An engineered methylation pattern persisted for four generations of mice, demonstrating transgenerational epigenetic inheritance can occur in mammals.

New details of the molecular process by which our cells consume themselves point to therapeutic potential.

Bacteria that live in the digestive tracts of animals may influence the adaptive trajectories of their hosts.
