Through a study of human genetics in different populations around the world,
researchers at the Pasteur Institute and CNRS have discovered how pathogens may
vary over time the evolution of our immune system.

The life of a cell is not governed only by the biochemistry and genetics. The mechanics also say. A team of physicists from the Institute Fresnel1 in Marseilles, and biologists from the Institute of Developmental Biology of
Marseille-Luminy...

Genetically engineering plants is a time-intensive process. Methods currently
used to deliver genetic changes are imprecise, so it's often necessary to
generate thousands of plants to find one that happens to have the desired
alteration....

New research suggests that the layer of insulation coating neural wiring in
the brain plays a critical role in determining intelligence. In addition, the
quality of this insulation appears to be largely genetically determined,
providing...

We knew that reducing the intake of calories, for example because of the
reduction of the amount sugar ingested, could prolong life. According to a new
study by researchers at the University of Montreal whose results are published
in the...

Every year, millions of people are diagnosed with cancer - a remarkably high
number. But what about the flipside of those statistics? That is, two out of
three people never get cancer, and more than half of heavy smokers don’t get...

Many researchers have tried to create a mathematical model of how cells pack
together to form tissue, but most models have many different complicated factors
and no model is universal.

A new study provides the first evidence that people with higher body mass
index (BMI) may have a greater response to ozone than leaner people. Short-term
exposure to atmospheric ozone has long been known to cause a temporary drop in
lung...
