Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it ...

Missense variants remain a challenge in genetic interpretation due to their subtle and context-dependent effects. While current prediction models perform well in known disease genes, generalizability ...

Heavy machinery is entering a new phase where hydraulics, electronics and embedded software are engineered as one integrated system. Using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) as a framework to ...

When Aristotle claimed that humans differ from other animals because they have the ability to be rational, he understood rational to mean that we could form our views and beliefs based on evidence, ...

The movement of genetic material between organisms that aren’t directly related is a significant driver of evolution, especially among single-celled organisms like bacteria and archaea. A team led by ...

Abstract: Cancer development is an evolutionary process that mirrors the evolution of biological species. While species evolve through mutations and natural selection acting on individuals within a ...

Introduction: In many countries, especially large developing nations like China, hierarchical healthcare systems face persistent structural challenges such as unbalanced resource allocation and ...

An updated evolutionary model shows that living systems evolve in a split-and-hit-the-gas dynamic, where new lineages appear in sudden bursts rather than during a long marathon of gradual changes.

Directed evolution is a laboratory method that speeds up protein mutations to help create novel cancer and neurodegenerative disorder therapies. In a new study, scientists detail a method called ...

The 2025 standards update family mediation practices by emphasizing safety, cultural awareness, and technology. They expand training for mediators, mental health professionals, and attorneys on ...
