A “time-accelerated computational microscope” provides biologists with powerful insights
A new simulation technique accelerates modeling to help us better understand complex molecular processes and facilitate rational drug design.
Fossils provide new insights into the evolution of bones
Modern biology considers bone cells essential for bone development and health. However, when bone initially evolved some 400-million years ago, these were missing. So why did bone cells evolve?
Scientists create simple synthetic cell that grows and divides normally
New findings shed light on mechanisms controlling the most basic processes of life.
