Evolutionary medicine is based on the Darwinian principle that individual variation is sorted in the process of its transmission from generation-to-generation by the forces of evolution. These are ...

There is an aspect of wonder to some of the marvelous advances in healthcare over past decades. Consider the physicists whose study of nuclear magnetic resonance enabled today's radiologists to see ...

The influence of evolution on medicine is the focus of the next Horning Lecture, which will be held 4 p.m. Thursday, May 5 on the Oregon State University campus. The free, public event will be held in ...

People who visit the Andes Mountain Range in South America can feel the physical effects of lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes. However, some people who live there have evolved over hundreds of ...

pt. 1. Fundamentals of evolutionary biology -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Evolutionary theory -- 3. The molecular basis of variation and inheritance -- 4. Evolution and development -- 5. Evolution of life ...

The low efficiency of conventional vectors used for genetic medicines often means delivering them at high doses and by suboptimal routes, leading to inflammation, toxic side effects and limited ...

Neural circuits in the brain are highly sophisticated biological systems, orchestrating ultra-fast, parallel computations ...

In a remarkable leap forward for synthetic biology, the AI model ESM3, developed by Evolutionary Scale, has achieved a significant milestone. By simulating half a billion years of evolutionary ...

Scientists have developed a theoretical model that uncovers the dual role of polyploidy -- organisms carrying extra genome copies -- in evolution. Their findings reveal that polyploidy can stabilize ...
