Why humans have a philtrum, the groove above your lip, explained by an evolutionary biologist — from embryonic face-building to vestigial anatomy.

Nano-sized outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are lipid-bilayered structures that primarily encapsulate periplasmic components, with minor inclusion of cytoplasmic materials. Rather than passive ...

Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (IGs), are glycoproteins produced in response to an immune reaction and exhibit high specificity for the antigens that elicit the response. An antibody ...

Researchers led by developmental biologist Kathy Niakan at the University of Cambridge have used base editing in human embryos to learn more about human embryonic development. By deactivating a gene ...
