A new class of CRISPR editors can rewrite the genome with unprecedented precision
Researchers have unveiled a family of base editors capable of correcting single-letter mutations in living cells without causing the off-target cuts that have long plagued gene-editing therapies.

AlphaFold 4 predicts entire proteomes in minutes — and exposes hidden binding pockets
The latest iteration of DeepMind’s protein-structure prediction model now resolves disordered regions and co-factors, giving drug hunters a vastly richer target landscape.

The synaptic protein behind memory consolidation — and why it keeps disappearing
Scientists have traced the rapid degradation of a key synaptic scaffold protein to a molecular clock that may explain why some memories fade overnight while others endure for decades.

Mitochondria communicate in bursts — a discovery that rewrites energy biology
Live-cell imaging has revealed that mitochondria exchange metabolic signals in brief, synchronised pulses rather than the continuous gradient long assumed by textbooks.

Epigenetic marks inherited across five generations challenge the central dogma
A landmark study in nematodes shows that histone modifications can be faithfully passed through the germline for at least five generations, suggesting heritable cellular states are broader than thought.
