Researchers study the effects of introducing water-saving Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis, which is used by plants that are able to thrive in arid conditions,…
Scientists develop a better, redder biosensor for biological research. With a little tweak of the color palette, School of Medicine researchers have made it easier…
It’s one of the world’s deadliest animals, and it has a taste for human blood: the mosquito. Mosquitoes spread diseases like malaria, dengue, and yellow…
Dopamine, serotonin involved in sub-second perception, cognition. In first-of-their-kind observations in the human brain, an international team of researchers has revealed two well-known neurochemicals —…
In biological terms, gliding refers to the type of movement during which a cell moves along a surface without changing its shape. This form of…
University of Oregon and Northwestern University biologists show that too many crossover events can increase infertility. The exchange of DNA between chromosomes during the early…
Scientists develop a technique that improves the resolution of cryo-electron microscopy. We’ve all seen that moment in a cop TV show where a detective is…
A team led by researchers at the University of California, Davis, has discovered a missing link in the evolution of photosynthesis and carbon fixation. Dating…
Since 2004, Claude Knauf (INSERM) and Patrice Cani (Université Catholique de Louvain) have been collaborating on molecular and cellular mechanisms in order to understand the…
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, has wreaked havoc on health care systems, economies, and everyday lives worldwide. Scientists are fighting back with multiple strategies,…

Researchers engineer RNA-targeting compounds that disable the pandemic coronavirus’ replication engine. Scripps Research chemist Matthew Disney, Ph.D., and colleagues have created drug-like compounds that, in…
Two active genetics strategies help address concerns about gene-drive releases into the wild. In the past decade, researchers have engineered an array of new tools…
First complete structure of mammalian F1Fo ATP-synthase. ATP synthase is also referred to as complex V of the respiratory chain, a series of protein complexes…
Scientists have created a detailed cellular and molecular map of the healthy human heart to understand how this vital organ functions and to shed light…
Current research suggests that more complex life forms, including humans, evolved from a symbiosis event of Bacteria and another single-celled organism known as Archaea. However,…
As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, researchers are working overtime to develop vaccines and therapies to thwart SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the disease Many…
