A pioneering study has shed new light on how subcellular organelles divide and multiply.
How is it possible for a random sequence to produce a functional gene?
Scientists at the University of Washington and Emory University report that an antibiotic sprayed on orchard crops to combat bacterial diseases slows the cognition of bumblebees and reduces their foraging efficiency.
A new study by researchers at Lund University supports the notion that patients with type 2 diabetes patient should be divided into subgroups and given individualised treatment.
A 30-year-old genetic mystery has been solved. It has previously been established that touch can trigger stress reactions in plants.
Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have studied whether severe perineal tears
Sleep apnea, a common disorder in which a person repeatedly stops and starts breathing while they sleep — often hundreds of times per night — is a growing problem in pregnancy.
Banana bunchy top virus, (BBTV) spread by banana aphids, is the most serious disease affecting bananas and plantains. In areas where bananas are grown, the disease can be devastating to the local economy as once infected, the plants don't recover.
A new study shows how the brains of Egyptian fruit bats are highly specialized for echolocation and flight, with motor areas of the cerebral cortex that are dedicated to sonar production and wing control.
Researchers have shown how moderate egg consumption can increase the amount of heart-healthy metabolites in the blood.
Electric organs help electric fish, such as the electric eel, do all sorts of amazing things
“Genetic variation of putative myokine signaling is dominated by biologic sex and sex hormones,”
Taking care of a family is hard work. Not only are cuckoos well aware of this, but some species of fish are as well – for instance, catfish found in Lake Tanganyika in Africa.
What does the partnership between fungi and plants look like?

Using Gene Editing, Drug Discovery for Abnormal Lung Stem Cells
Synthetic biology lab will use light to decode bacterial stress response
Rice lab’s CRISPR-based strategy edits multiple genes and could treat polygenic diseases
Scientists at University of Missouri collaborate with Harvard, Georgia Tech to develop a novel diabetes treatment involving transplanting pancreas cells that produce insulin.
For a new plant to grow from a seed, cells need to divide numerous times.
