Researchers found that using mental models—visual, verbal, or animated—helps people understand mRNA vaccination science, counter misconceptions, and reduce misinformation spread.

A new mRNA vaccine against the flu has proven itself more effective than existing vaccines in a new clinical trial. The Pfizer-developed vaccine was found to be 34.5 percent more effective than ...

Researchers from Karolinska Institutet have discovered how mammalian cells prevent the gradual buildup of harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA, the small but vital genome that powers every cell. The ...

“The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we conceived of life itself. The X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated-able to read not only the ...
