Cantils, so named for their cantilever function of supporting the flower-bearing stalk, are newly reported plant structures that develop in wild-type Arabidopsis as a consequence…
Sperm size varies dramatically among different animal species. But why is sperm size so variable when they share the same job — to fertilize eggs?…
Anti-aging Protein in Red Blood Cells Helps Prevent Mental Decline, Poor Memory and Hearing Deficits
Mice lacking ADORA2B in their blood exhibit accelerated aging, including poor memory and hearing deficits. Research conducted by Qiang et al has discovered a link…

Findings may have important implications for understanding age-related diseases. Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys have gained a deeper insight into the intricacies of autophagy, the…
Deleting the TFG-β receptor in NK cells overcame immune suppression and enabled anti-tumor activity in preclinical models. Preclinical research from The University of Texas MD…
In wild-type plant cells, lattice-bound Msd1 (filled green circle) recruits cytoplasmic Wdr8 (open green circle) to form a heteromeric complex, which is translocated to and…
Reef-building corals, such as elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis), and their hybrid, all pictured here, coevolve with the microscopic algae that live…
In polymicrogyria, the cortex of the brain has many irregular, small folds (gyria) and disorganization of its layers, caused by mutations in one of several…
The raucous calls of tree hyraxes — small, herbivorous mammals — reverberate through the night in the forests of West and Central Africa, but their…
