[It is important to...
A four-year project aims to discover whether plants, soil and bacteria from the past can help current crops survive changing weather conditions....
When trillions of periodical cicadas emerge in a rare double event, they provide a disruptive feast for other species....
The engineering of artificial cells requires a reconfigurable cytoskeleton that can organize at distinct locations and dynamically modulate its structural and mechanical properties. This study combines peptide self-assembly with DNA programmability to realize a synthetic cytoskeleton in droplets showing that programmable...
More frequent heatwaves mean bees are unable to thermoregulate their hives – further endangering a species already in decline...
A rare dye made from snails for the robes of the Roman elite almost 2,000 years ago has been unearthed at a cricket club....
The telephone game is used to demonstrate that humans and chimpanzees are indeed related.
This study describes the identification of an antibiotic class acting via LpxH, involved in lipopolysaccharide synthesis having potent in vivo efficacy against bloodstream infections caused by the critical Gram-negative pathogens E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Further development of this class of antibiotics could make an...
This study attempts to identify the “protective” genetic factors that can modify or reduce the effect of APOEε4 on Alzheimer’s disease risk and to identify new pathogenic mechanisms, proteins, and pathways that inform development of therapeutic targets and diagnostics....
Brief anger can temporarily impair blood vessel function, potentially heightening heart disease and stroke risks, finds new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
Scientists have identified a new hybrid brain cell, sharing attributes of neurons and astrocytes. These cells can release neurotransmitters and may influence conditions like epilepsy and memory consolidation.
I love the idea and goals, but just reading the headline, I immediately leaped to one thought. Reading the article, they eventually addressed it....
The decipherment of an ancient scroll has revealed where the Greek philosopher Plato is buried, Italian researchers suggest....
