AI giant Anthropic announced the opening of a new wet lab to tackle overlooked biology problems. The lab just announced its first discovery: a novel CRISPR-like system.

Exposing mice to antimalarial drugs during late-liver stage parasitic infection stopped the onset of disease and generated a durable immune response.

Many journals bury the Methods section at the end of papers, but for scientists trying to judge whether results can be trusted, that's exactly backwards.

This postdoctoral researcher explores how neuron-astrocyte communication drives Parkinson's disease.

This postdoctoral researcher uses engineered microorganisms to turn organic waste into customizable, biodegradable bioplastics.

Tiny protein tubes help Bacillus subtilis boost energy production without expanding its cell membrane.
