New math model controls biological noise at single-cell level, offering a path to tackle cancer relapse and drug resistance.

Why does cancer sometimes recur after chemotherapy? Why do some bacteria survive antibiotic treatment? In many cases, the ...

Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers are ...

Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...

Researchers have uncovered thousands of preserved metabolic molecules inside fossilized bones millions of years old, offering ...

Randomness inside cells can decide whether a cancer returns after chemotherapy or whether an infection survives antibiotics. Even cells with the same DNA can act differently because their molecules ...

Seeing plastic trash while hiking inspired a Rutgers chemist to rethink why synthetic plastics last forever while natural ...
