Researchers at Boston University have identified a peptide, PACAP, in the brain as a key contributor to heavy alcohol drinking. By inhibiting PACAP in the…
Research by Koen Martens focuses on understanding the speed and efficiency of DNA repair mechanisms in the human body. His development of TARDIS software has…
A new study on human temperature perception demonstrated a consistent sensitivity to temperature differences among participants. This research, integral to the Grounded Cognition theory, has…
Unraveling Earth’s Ancient Secrets: New Study Reshapes Understanding of Devonian Era Mass Extinction
Over 370 million years ago, the Devonian era saw significant biological evolution but ended in a mass extinction event. Recent research indicates that this extinction…
Enveloped viruses get their outer coat by budding from cells they’ve invaded. CRISPR-Cas9 researchers coopted this behavior to produce envelope-derived vehicles that encapsulate Cas9 proteins…
Other plants, including some ferns, send out leaves or shoots that touch the ground and sprout roots to sustain a new plant. But the Panamanian…
A potential newborn great white shark has been spotted, marking a rare and significant discovery in shark science. This observation could provide key insights into…
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method called Zman-seq for tracking changes over time in single cells within the body. This method, which marks cells with…
A Stanford study on mice decision-making reveals that hunger and thirst modulate goals rather than directly influencing choices, highlighting the brain’s role in navigating conflicting…
A new study has identified the smallest species of fanged frogs in Southeast Asia, with unique characteristics such as terrestrial egg-laying and male egg guarding.…
The Ayeyarwady pit viper, a new species discovered in Myanmar by Dr. Chan Kin Onn, illustrates the complexities of species differentiation in pit vipers. This…
Rutgers University research teams have discovered key factors in predicting egg cell viability and identified a gene mutation linked to miscarriage, providing valuable insights for…
