The result is a problem we rarely discuss openly: research that looks promising in animals but collapses when applied to humans. Time is lost. Resources are wasted. Patients wait longer for answers ...
Human newborns arrive remarkably underdeveloped. The reason lies in a deep evolutionary trade-off between big brains, bipedalism and the limits of motherhood.
Fear has a scent. Here’s how this invisible chemical signal has shaped human perceptions, emotions and survival instincts.
As commercial spaceflight draws ever closer and time spent in space continues to extend, the question of reproductive health ...
Humans' exposure to high temperature burn injuries may have played an important role in our evolutionary development, shaping ...
Phoebe Adele Gates grew up in a world filled with ambition, innovation, and global change-makers. As the youngest child of Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates, she had no shortage of role models. But ...
In a recent study, researchers manipulated cellular proteins that control genes in aged mice. Experimental results showed their livers were rejuvenated to younger states. This work shows promise as a ...
Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...
Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences has officially voted to change the name of the Human Evolutionary Biology concentration during a meeting on April 1. Effective as of July 1, 2025 — when the ...
Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...
Researchers have created the first blueprint of the human spliceosome, the most complex and intricate molecular machine in human biology. The vast majority of human genes -- more than nine in ten -- ...
