From Moscow to Boston, these two molecular biologists built their lives and careers together studying RNA in a disease-causing parasite In their newest paper, Afasizhev and Afasizheva—along with ...

As molecular biologists at Boston University and as husband and wife, Ruslan Afasizhev and Inna Afasizheva, have worked together for decades. Together, they have published dozens of papers on the ...

As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a natural structure made of thousands of DNA circles interlinked with each ...

The parasite Toxoplasma is carried by a large portion of the global human population. Now a study led by researchers at Stockholm University shows how this microscopic parasite so successfully spreads ...

Researchers have discovered how a parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite can hide from the body's immune system, sometimes for years. It turns out that the parasite, ...

Researchers have identified a compound, ML-901, that showed highly specific and potent inhibition of the malaria parasite. ML-901 exerted activity against all stages of the malaria parasite lifecycle ...

Two new studies show how climate influences behavior, communication, and genome evolution—driving adaptation in a long-running conflict. The battle between ant hosts and their social parasites is ...
