New research reveals fungi, not plants, were Earth's first land colonizers, emerging hundreds of millions of years earlier.

Fungi arose long before plants, shaping Earth with early soils and nutrient cycles. Their hidden legacy shows they may have ...

Scientists found mushrooms make psilocybin using two different enzyme toolkits. The same molecule forms by separate paths.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disorder that results from mutations in the DMD gene. Gene therapies for DMD change genetic material in a person’s body to treat this condition.

Groundbreaking study demonstrates that targeted oligodendrocyte gene therapy leads to decreased N-acetylaspartate (NAA) levels and increased brain myelin volume, resulting in promising functional ...

Conjugation is mediated by a large molecular machinery termed Type IV secretion system (T4SS), embedded within the donor cell ...
