Our biological sciences students explore the complexities of life and work to address global challenges in biology. Our faculty advance knowledge in a wide range of disciplines within the biological ...

Biological models are experimental systems that recreate aspects of human tissue function or disease. For example, certain tumour cell lines may serve as cancer models, and transgenic mice that ...

To see all of C&EN’s Periodic Graphics, visit cenm.ag/periodicgraphics. This graphic was updated on Jan. 29, 2025, to correctly describe the actions of glucagon-like peptide 1 in the liver.

Originally identified in certain microorganisms, synthetic chemical and biological methods now enable greater control over the formation of the polymer chain, facilitating the preparation of P3HB ...

This has so far been difficult because protodes (the protonic counterpart of electrodes) show poor contact with bacteria, and the processes involved are unsuitable for biological material.

Developing such carbonless analogues could spark the creation of alternative biological frameworks for gene therapeutics and drug delivery. Research into carbonless genetic information storage may ...

The periodic table of elements (often known simply as the periodic table) has been helping scientists with their work for a little over 150 years. The handy visual reference guide organizes known ...

The new findings show that biological processes are more important in the arsenic cycle than previously ... Arsenic is a trace element that lies just below phosphorus – which is essential for all ...
