“Since the discovery of the DNA double helix more than 50 years ago, helicase’s activity in preparing DNA for replication has been poorly understood,” says researcher

The research is a major step forward for efforts to study the genetic basis of adaptation and evolution

Anthropologists at the University of Montreal have dated the oldest human settlement in Canada back 10,000 years

The study of protein function is necessary for understanding the molecular basis of disease

Study is one of the first criminological studies to look specifically at the relationship between homicidal ideation and criminal behavior

Surprising anatomical features found in the newly discovered species

A new method for controlling the DNA duplication process makes it possible to shrink the current desktop machines to handheld devices which could be used in the field to provide early diagnosis of a wide range of infectious diseases

Newly defined reference range can help limit misdiagnoses and unnecessary treatments

Scientists used highly sophisticated brain imaging tools and computational methods to measure the real-time brain processes that convert the appearance of a face into the recognition of an individual

Stanford bioengineers have developed an ultra-low-cost, human-powered blood centrifuge. With rotational speeds of up to 125,000 revolutions per minute, the device separates blood plasma from red cells in 1.5 minutes, no electricity required

UNC scientists conduct seminal experiments to unveil how early-in-life visual experiences—simply trying to see—sculpt a particular subnetwork of brain circuitry we need in order to see properly

Research may lead to new lines of direct communication with living cells
