Researchers discovered the significant impact of nuclear spin on biological processes, specifically oxygen dynamics in chiral environments. This breakthrough could revolutionize biotechnology, quantum biology, isotope…
Researchers propose a novel aging theory—selective destruction theory (SDT)—which describes aging as a process not tied to damage accumulation, offering a new perspective in gerontology…
Researchers from the UK have developed a publicly accessible database, the “unknome”, which lists thousands of understudied proteins encoded by human genes. By assigning a…
Instead of just piecing together short bits of a genome through short-read genomic sequencing, EMBL researchers used long-read nanopore sequencing to gain a more comprehensive…
Cocklebur extracts, derived from the fruit of a plant often considered a noxious weed, have shown potential in protecting skin, accelerating wound healing, and combating…
