The studies have implications for certain human conditions characterized by touch dysfunction. According to recent research, the brainstem and spinal cord play a crucial role…
The new findings will be important to the broader study of fungal evolution, particularly how fungi inherit important biotechnological features like enzymes that break down…
Researchers have constructed a high-quality, chromosome-scale genome of pearl oysters, which they hope can be used to find resilient strains. In Japan, pearl oysters are…
Thousands of species are currently listed as “data deficient.” We know very little about a large number of species. Unfortunately, it is not always a…
The research on mice sheds light on how brain activity is fine-tuned. A new study explores how new information is across the sleep-wake cycle. Researchers…
Scientists have discovered at least two genetic pathways leading to the identical physical outcome for a species of flycatcher in the Solomon Islands. Research indicates…
The findings reveal a surprisingly selfish side to yeast behavior. A recently discovered phenomenon known as latecomer killing describes how yeast kills its own clones…

The research demonstrates that many cells in the inner ear react simultaneously to low-frequency sound. The way humans experience music and speech differs from what…
The new tool has the potential to improve gene and cell therapies. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have developed a tool that can…
When exposed to carrot flavors, fetuses had more “laughter-face” responses, but when exposed to kale flavors, they displayed more “cry-face” responses. Scientists have discovered the…
This photo represents Cuesta et al.’s demonstration that cocaine exposure increases norepinephrine in the gut facilitating γ-Proteobacteria colonization. This gut microbiota shift toward γ-Proteobacteria leads…
