Search the life sciences
Results tuned to biology
4Biology is a focused search engine built for biology students, researchers, educators, and lab managers. We combine multiple indexes, curated sources, and AI tools to surface publications, protocols, datasets, suppliers, and learning resources that matter to life scientists. Use the site to save time, find specialized resources, and get context-specific search results not optimized for general web traffic. Part of the 4SEARCH network of topic specific search engines.

Antenna-like cell structure helps turtles sense warmth that determines sex
11+ hour, 4+ min ago (439+ words) AMES, Iowa—A tiny, antenna-like structure found on many animal cells may help explain how turtle embryos sense the warmth that determines whether they develop as male or female....
New brain model reveals how regional chemistry shapes large-scale neural
11+ hour, 38+ min ago (501+ words) Researchers have developed a computer model of the human cortex that connects molecular-scale chemistry with brain-wide patterns of activity, offering new evidence that differences in receptor density can influence how information travels through the brain. The study, published in the…...
How Somatic Mutations and Genome Mosaicism Shape Aging and Disease
20+ hour, 1+ min ago (76+ words) Aging may leave a genetic record in nearly every tissue of the human body, written not in the DNA inherited at conception but in mutations acquired during life. A review by E. Pan, A. Maslov and J. Vijg, published in Experimental & Molecular Medicine,…...
Chronobiology: Setting Time in Organs
1+ day, 1+ hour ago (505+ words) | Newswise Newswise Chronobiology: Setting Time in Organs LMU researchers have elucidated how different organs adapt the same clock machinery to regulate their individual needs over the course of a day. Newswise — Circadian clocks impose daily rhythm on virtually every cell…...

Why Longevity Research Must Prioritize Women
1+ day, 18+ hour ago (558+ words) Women may hold one of nature’s most important clues to the biology of aging, according to a new perspective published in Cell. The paper introduces the Reproductive Resilience Hypothesis, an evolutionary framework proposing that reproduction and longevity are not always…...
Complete marmoset genome opens new avenues for Alzheimer’s and
1+ day, 19+ hour ago (509+ words) Scientists have produced the first complete, end-to-end genome sequence of the common marmoset, creating a high-resolution genetic reference for one of the world’s most important emerging primate models of human disease....
Meet Philip J. Kranzusch: The Harvard scientist who traced human immunity back billions of years
2+ day, 1+ hour ago (492+ words) The Times of India Viruses have been attacking living organisms for billions of years, long before humans first appeared on Earth Yet one of the biggest questions in biology has remained remarkably difficult to answer: where did the human immune…...
Comparative Study Reveals How Insula Structure Influences Brain Function
1+ day, 23+ hour ago (608+ words) The insula, a folded region tucked deep within the lateral sulcus of the cerebral cortex, is emerging as one of neuroscience’s most important—and most complicated—research targets. Once treated largely as a sensory relay, the insular cortex is now…...
