Scientists deploy self-splicing protein subunits to insert strange new additions into target proteins.
The creation of three "dire wolf" pups has raised hopes that it may be possible to resurrect extinct animals. But some scientists have grave concerns.
New research reveals how, by following different rules in the process of learning, neurons can perform multiple functions in parallel. This may have implications for human health and society, including new ways to design artificial neural networks.

How does exercise benefit health? Molecules called exerkines partly regulate its effects and provide therapeutic targets to mimic the benefits of exercise.
A new study is “a bit of a counterweight to the endless hyperbole about how incredibly complex and powerful the human brain is,” one researcher said.
Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said.
