Corner down icon An icon in the shape of a corner pointing downwards. Humans have Neanderthal DNA as a result of interbreeding tens of thousands of years ago. Nikola Solic/Reuters Modern humans have a small amount of Neanderthal DNA, and those genes still influence our health. Scientists think they have figured out when the two … Read more
A crater in Siberia is expanding faster than expected due to climate change, scientists have discovered, saying it is now causing problems for the surrounding habitat. Known as the ‘Gateway to Hell’ and located in the icy Yana Highlands, the Batagaika slump currently covers about 200 hectares of land and can be seen in satellite … Read more
Researchers at the University of Houston, led by Navin Varadarajan, have discovered a new subset of T cells, called CD8-fit, that are associated with improved outcomes in T cell therapies for cancer. Using a combination of the TIMING method and single-cell RNA sequencing, the team identified a molecular signature in these T cells that correlates … Read more

Scientists have discovered that a river comparable in size to the Rio Grande once dominated West Antarctica, offering a rare glimpse of the continent’s land covered in ice today. It is believed that the 900-mile-long waterway flowed about 44 to 34 million years ago, shortly before the continent’s immensely thick ice sheets began to build … Read more
