When cells don’t divide into proper copies of themselves, living things fail to grow as they should. For the first time, scientists now understand how…
These microscopic critters are hard to avoid, which means nearly everyone has been exposed. Study opens up new path to research to fighting allergic diseases.…
The pistils in mutant strains contain a higher number of stigmas — the part of the pistil that collects pollen — than in wildtype strains.…
In lab experiments, both the lung cell and immune cell types of nanosponges caused the SARS-CoV-2 virus to lose nearly 90% of its “viral infectivity”…
Image analysis of human gastruloid showing ‘anteroposterior’ patterning. Green is posterior part similar to tail-end of an embryo, magenta is anterior part similar to developing…
Rice University scientists are analyzing the role of ferredoxin proteins produced when viral phages alter electron transfer in ocean-dwelling, photosynthetic bacteria that produce oxygen and…
Billiard-like break shot to cell-membrane structures triggers brain’s loss of consciousness from anesthesia, scientists find. Surgery would be inconceivable without general anesthesia, so it may…
Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics and collaborators have discovered that terahertz radiation, contradicting conventional belief, can disrupt proteins in living cells without…
DNA may not be life’s instruction book, but just a jumbled list of ingredients. University of Maryland researcher develops potentially revolutionary framework for heredity and…
[embedded content] A new research study headed by Aarhus University in Denmark identifies how viruses avoid the body’s immune system and cause infections and diseases.…
Revealing yet another super-power in the skillful squid, scientists have discovered that squid massively edit their own genetic instructions not only within the nucleus of…
A clinical trial showed the ability of a stem cell-based topical solution to regrow hair in people with male/female pattern baldness. The results of a…
Pictured is CIDER-Seq, a newly developed tool for sequencing circular and extrachromosomal circular DNA, in action. Credit: Devang Mehta New method will provide insight into…
This figure shows a large quantity of human cells (labeled green) in a 17-day old mouse embryo (labeled blue). Most of the human cells are…
Visually indistinguishable particles of Brome Mosaic Virus. Credit: Ayala Rao/UCR University of California Riverside scientists have solved a 20-year-old genetics puzzle that could result in…
[embedded content] New research from a team of international scientists shows how swelling associated with brain and spinal cord injury can be stopped using a…
Cell culture model: several compounds stop SARS-CoV-2 virus. A team of biochemists and virologists at Goethe University and the Frankfurt University Hospital were able to…
Each of our cells is surrounded by a complex membrane that functions as a biological border, letting ions and nutrients such as salt, potassium and…
