Global fish stocks will not be able to recover to sustainable levels without strong actions to mitigate climate change, a new study has projected.
Larvae with extremely inflated trunks, fossilized in amber, are giving LMU zoologists insights into the evolution and lifestyle of early lacewings.
Between malaria and a host of other mosquito-borne diseases, nearly one million deaths each year can be traced back to simple mosquito bites.
For the first time, RIPE researchers have proven that multigene bioengineering of photosynthesis increases the yield of a major food crop in field trials.
Heavy weight training can help make sure your nerves and muscles continue to work together, and it is never too late to get started.
Tens of millions of migratory insects cross at least 100km of open sea to reach Cyprus on the way to mainland Europe, new research shows.
Insects are the world’s smallest flying migrants, but they can maintain perfectly straight flight paths even in unfavorable wind conditions, according to a new study from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior (MPI-AB) and the University of Konstanz in Germany, and the University of Exeter in the UK.
Blood pressure should be measured in both arms and the higher reading should be adopted to improve hypertension diagnosis and management, according to a new study.
Temperatures are rising, and one colony of ants will soon have to make a collective decision.
Stem cell capsules implanted on heart surface improve function in four weeks
With the help of the worlds best tweezers a team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen has shed new light on a fundamental mechanism in all living cells that helps them explore their surroundings and even invade tissue.
A study using mice by scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA reveals that cardiac muscle cells play a pivotal role in determining how the heart heals following a heart attack.
UCLA study shows the strange markings are the result of trapped big cats chewing through wire snares, indicating these animals are injured at far higher rates than previously assumed
UCLA scientists have devised a method for producing intricately shaped hydrogel microparticles at a rate of more than 40 million per hour — at least 10 times faster than the current standard approach.
Enzyme inhibitors are used by pesticides and nerve agents to target acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that starts the breakdown of an organism's neurotransmission. It is also used in the laboratory to preserve a protein for study by shutting down the organism's nerve impulse transmission.
A $2.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health will allow Washington State University researchers to take the next steps toward blocking transmission of Lyme disease and anaplasmosis.
A new journal article by Columbia professor Brent R. Stockwell marks the ten-year anniversary of the discovery of ferroptosis, a form of cell death that could help treat life-threatening illnesses like cancer.
Using artificial intelligence, researchers have discovered what is likely the largest animal mimicry complex on Earth, changing the way we see — or rather, hear — the night sky.
Hawk moths are known for being some of the largest night fliers in the insect world.
When Florida Museum ichthyology collection manager Rob Robins brought home fish samples from central Florida in 2017, he didn’t anticipate he’d be adding a new member to the state’s list of non-native species.
