What made ribose the sugar of choice for life's code? Scientists at Scripps Research may have cracked a major part of this mystery. Their experiments show that ribose binds more readily and ...
A vascular dilatation in the aorta can be life-threatening if it bursts. These so-called aortic aneurysms typically form in the same sites of the large blood vessel: either on the upper arch or in the ...
CRISPR powers everything from gene editing to rapid diagnostics, but how did one of its most versatile branches arise? A new Cell study, “Functional RNA splitting drove the evolutionary emergence of ...
