Cells routinely self-cannibalize to take out their trash, aiding in survival and disease prevention
The process of autophagy starts when the cell begins to form a membrane near damaged proteins or organelles.
Is There a Single Essence of Aging?
To combat the processes that are killing us, substantial resources must be devoted to each of the many, many tasks involved.

Top 9 ethical issues in artificial intelligence
Optimizing logistics, composing art, conducting research, providing translations: intelligent machine systems are transforming our lives.
Scientists grow whole model of human embryo, without sperm or egg
Scientists have grown an entity that closely resembles an early human embryo, without using sperm, eggs or a womb.
Eliminating bias in AI may be impossible – a computer scientist explains how to tame it instead
Even if researchers could achieve bias-free generative AI, that would be just one step toward the broader goal of fairness.
Beyond just promise, CRISPR is delivering in the lab today
CRISPR is more than just hype. Centuries ago we were writing on clay tablets – in this century we will write the stuff of life.
Against pausing AI research
Is advanced artificial intelligence reaching the point where it could result in catastrophic damage? Is a slow-down desirable?
Synthetic human embryos created in groundbreaking advance
Scientists have created synthetic human embryos using embryonic stem cells, in a groundbreaking advance that sidesteps the need for eggs or sperm.
New research unveils promising pathway for reversing aging in multiple species
Scientists have honed in on a molecular mechanism that powers every cell in the body and degrades with age – in five species.
