NASA had a big—and little—problem. For a small satellite, the agency needed a tiny antenna, with very specific communication ...

Researchers of the Melnick Lab, led by Prof. Ari Melnick, medicine, recently published a study identifying a key mutation that disrupts the B-cell natural selection process during immune response, ...

New research suggests that natural selection, famous for rewarding advantageous differences in organisms, can also preserve similarities. The researchers worked with a plant called wild radish and its ...

The key to understanding how the most aggressive lymphomas arise and resist current therapies may lie in mutations that disrupt a critical natural selection process among antibody-producing B cells, ...

Nearly 200 years after Charles Darwin stepped off the HMS Beagle, his luggage is still giving up secrets. We often think of the story of how we came up with the theory of evolution by natural ...

Antibiotic resistance, when infection-causing bacteria evolve so they are no longer affected by typical antibiotics, is a global concern. New research at the University of Tokyo has mapped the ...

Natural selection is usually a term reserved for science textbooks and not for conversations about contemporary humans. For decades, scientists believed that human evolution had largely slowed to a ...

Researchers believe the trait is an adaptation to counter the females’ post-coital hunger. I’m not sure if lizards can experience PTSD, but if they can, I have every reason to believe this science ...
