Bird flu virus has been spreading in US cows for months, RNA reveals

Genomic analysis suggests that the outbreak probably began in December or January, but a shortage of data is hampering efforts to pin down the source.

Could a rare mutation that causes dwarfism also slow ageing?

People with Laron syndrome have a low risk of heart disease and a number of other age-related disorders, hinting at strategies for new treatments.

Latest Reviews & Analysis

- Elephant-nose fish ‘see’ farther by electric sensing when in groups
  
  The elephant-nose fish senses its environment by emitting electrical pulses. A multi-pronged investigation suggests that this remarkable sensing ability is amplified in social groups by individuals ‘listening in’ on the pulses of their neighbours.
