James Watson, the co-discoverer of DNA's double helix structure and a Nobel laureate, has died at 97. His groundbreaking work revolutionized genetics, but his later controversial remarks clouded his legacy.
Can we really alter bad memories? Neuroscientist Steve Ramirez shares groundbreaking research on how positive memories can counteract anxiety and depression, and the journey behind his personal quest to help his mom.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, emphasizing that lung cancer isn't just for smokers. Learn about early symptoms, the importance of screenings, and how to reduce your risk.
A groundbreaking study suggests that a genetic incompatibility between Neanderthals and modern humans may have contributed to the extinction of our ancient relatives. Researchers found that different versions of the PIEZO1 gene could have led to miscarriages in hybrid offspring, thus impacting Neanderthal reproductive success.
Scientists have uncovered a new category of RNA, dubbed 'obelisks', within the human microbiome, particularly in the mouth. These unique circular RNAs challenge our understanding of genetic entities and microbial interactions.
