This article explores how single-cell multiomics and spatial transcriptomics are illuminating early pregnancy, uncovering ...

Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan ...

Fossils can reveal far more than the shapes of ancient creatures. Molecules preserved inside old animal bones provide clues about past diseases, what those animals ate, and the climates they lived in.

Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan have discovered that ...

From mudstones on Mars to strange gases in exoplanet atmospheres, tentative evidence for extraterrestrial life is starting to come thick and fast. But when we've found it, how will we know for sure?

These genes are part of the non-coding genome, which makes up about 98% of our DNA and was long dismissed as “junk.” This new research adds to growing evidence that this vast genetic landscape plays a ...

Human vision feels complete and reliable, yet a growing body of research suggests our eyes and brains are constantly editing ...

Triglia discusses her research at the intersection of genetics, epigenetics, single-cell genomics and computational biology.

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...
