Yale School of Medicine (YSM) has been awarded a grant of nearly $25 million by the Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA) initiative. The award, which is part of ARIA’s Human Developmental Neurobiology Research Hub , focuses on building foundational maps and models of the developing human brain and clarifying how and when autism diverges from typical development.
Honey bees have long been the model species for studying insect vision. However, new research shows that several smaller bee species might actually have sharper eyesight.
Researchers at UC San Diego have demonstrated that one of biology’s most essential enzymes can accurately read and transcribe an expanded genetic alphabet containing eight DNA letters instead of the four used by all known life.

As it tries to defend itself from stroke, the brain can paradoxically trigger the formation of tiny new clots in minor blood vessels, damaging tissue even after the original culprit has been removed, new research shows. The findings help explain why nearly half of treated stroke patients don’t recover — and identify potential new treatments.

Across 69 million images of historical documents lies a vast record of Canada’s history, from immigration and public policy to scientific discovery and family histories. Now, a University of Ottawa–led project is making those stories easier to find.
Nearly 40,000 students surveyed across four Ontario school boards; researchers urge parents, educators and clinicians to pay attention to why young people turn to chatbots.
Soil salinization poses a serious threat to global rice production. At present, the natural‑variation‑based genetic basis of rice salt tolerance remains poorly understood, and only a handful of major genes related to salt tolerance have been functionally characterized. It is critical to identify key gene modules in salt signaling pathways. In a study published in Developmental Cell on August 28, a

The research program aims to strengthen mineral exploration at Ni-Co Energy’s Kremer Project by uncovering how its nickel, copper and cobalt mineralization formed and where similar mineralization may be found elsewhere on the property.

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) possess the capacity for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation, along with high genome stability. Maintaining high-level ribosome biogenesis is essential for ESCs to sustain their identity, and this process begins with RNA polymerase I-mediated transcription of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. In ESCs, rDNA loci exhibit a hyperactive chromatin state, characterized by
