Can We Program Our Cells?
...evolvable may also make them engineerable. Strogatz (08:53): Uh huh. Interesting, right. So since evolution depends on the ability to, to change — I mean, that’s what the word “evolve”...
How Will the Universe End?
...(03:05) And I think that it’s, it’s just something that’s always been fascinating to me every time I’ve encountered it. Just seeing the discussions around how the ultimate evolution of...
Gene Expression in Neurons Solves a Brain Evolution Puzzle
...those are really the same thing because they have a shared evolutionary origin.” The technique is ushering in a new era for evolutionary neuroscience. “It’s shown [us] new cell populations...
Standard Model of Cosmology Survives a Telescope’s Surprising Finds
...The cosmos was simpler then, its evolution easier to compare against predictions. Astronomers first tried to see the earliest structures of the universe using the Hubble telescope in 1995. Over...
Ants Live 10 Times Longer by Altering Their Insulin Responses
...or two of life. Humpback whales produce only one calf every two or three years and live for decades. The rule of thumb seems to reflect evolutionary strategies that channel...
She Finds Keys to Ecology in Cells That Steal From Others
...organisms that eat their neighbors to get ahead. But in the systems studied by the theoretical ecologist Holly Moeller, an assistant professor of ecology, evolution and marine biology at the...
How Supergenes Fuel Evolution Despite Harmful Mutations
...closer the resemblance, the more potent the protection. What Bates and many later evolutionary biologists couldn’t explain was how this mimicry was possible. Getting the right shades of aquamarine and...
How Genes Can Leap From Snakes to Frogs in Madagascar
...the world, the scientists reported in April in a paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution that this gene has somehow traveled from snakes to frogs at least 50 times all...
Human Brains Are Hard to Study. He Grows Useful Substitutes.
...I almost felt envious of my colleagues on the oncology ward. The molecular biology revolution, combined with the accessibility of the cancer tissues they were interested in, meant that they...
