Leipzig could mean for the future of plant taxonomy what Greenwich meant for world time until 1972: it could become the reference city for correct…
Fluorescent imaging technique simultaneously captures different signal types from multiple locations in a live cell. Within a single cell, thousands of molecules, such as proteins,…
Genomic analysis may help efforts to save this endangered marsupial. A transmissible cancer in the Tasmanian devil has evolved over the past two decades, with…
Moths Strike Out in Evolutionary Arms Race With Sophisticated Wing Design Ultra-thin, super-absorbent, and extraordinarily designed to detract attention, the wings of moths could hold…
A new imaging technology lets scientists spy on the flurry of messages passed within cells as they do . . . potentially everything. Until now,…
The cell membrane is the cell’s outermost line of defense against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 disease. Cell membranes are just a few…
A study published in the journal Current Biology suggests that star-shaped brain cells known as astrocytes could be as important to the regulation of sleep…
High-resolution, 3D images of human chromosomes in single cells reveal how DNA structure might influence its function. In high school textbooks, human chromosomes are pictured…
When and how did the first animals appear? Science has long sought an answer. Uppsala University researchers and colleagues in Denmark have now jointly found,…
A plant used in traditional Chinese medicine has evolved to become less visible to humans, new research shows. Scientists found that Fritillaria delavayi plants, which…
Despite advances in sequencing technologies and computational methods in the past decade, researchers have uncovered genomes for just a small fraction of Earth’s microbial diversity….
Some, if not all, early sharks that lived 300 to 400 million years ago not only dropped their lower jaws downward but rotated them outwards…
Study suggests mechanical properties of spike proteins can predict infectivity and lethality of different coronaviruses. When someone struggles to open a lock with a key…
There are over 20,000 species of bee, but accurate data about how these species are spread across the globe are sparse. However, researchers reporting in…
Genes that give plant nucleus its shape discovered, also regulate copper tolerance. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have identified how the architecture of the…
Synapses are specialized devices where learning and memory occur. The efficient transmission of synaptic signals relies on the delicate structure and complex molecular composition of…
Florida Atlantic University study shows how monarch butterfly caterpillars go from peaceful feeders to aggressive fighters in their quest for milkweed. Inspired by his own…
