Why one worm species beats the heat better than another one
A new study in GENETICS investigates the role of heat shock regulators and chaperones.
A plant biologist whose seminal work led to a vision of a sustainable future
One of the most influential geneticists of our time, Dr. Joanne Chory (1955-2024), recipient of the Thomas Hunt Morgan Medal, transformed modern molecular plant biology and applied her trailblazing discoveries to some of science’s most...
