Studies of marine invertebrate species reveal genome instructs development using logic and grammar
Biomarkers in human sperm have been identified that can indicate a propensity to father children with autism spectrum disorder.
In what may be a sign of climate-change-induced conflict, researchers have captured rare photographic evidence of a jaguar killing another predatory wild cat at an isolated waterhole in Guatemala.
Researchers have developed a “homing gene drive system” based on CRISPR/Cas9 that could be used to suppress populations of Drosophila suzukii vinegar flies –
When given cash with no strings attached, low- and middle-income parents increased their spending on their children, according to Washington State University research.
When young adults are more interested in socializing and casually dating, they tend to drink more alcohol, according to new research led by a Washington State University professor.
The color changes reflect significant shifts in essential marine ecosystems.
CLIMATE The first experiments with glacial rock flour from Greenland show that it can capture significant amounts of CO2 and provide a wider array of nutrients than commercial organic fertilizers, resulting in improved crop growth. In the long term, the glacial rock flour can be of great importance in stopping climate change. The researcher behind the studies calls it a "promising, scalable solution."
A new technology called RIBOmap can give researchers valuable insight into how protein production in animal and human tissue is altered in disease.
A new study shows that truncated versions of the Tau protein are more likely to form the sticky filaments seen in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease.
A new study from North Carolina State University finds carrying pollen is a workout that significantly increases the body temperature of bumble bees.
Distinctive EEG patterns indicate when a patient’s state of unconsciousness under general anesthesia is more profound than necessary.
LIFE STYLE A drug that was originally developed to treat diabetes and severe overweight might also help people with nicotine dependence, concludes new research from the University of Copenhagen.
Whitehead Institute researchers find many transcription factors bind RNA, which fine-tunes their regulation of gene expression, suggesting new therapeutic opportunities.
A new approach opens the door to a greater understanding of protein-microbe interactions.
Three-year fellowship will support Weissbourd’s research on how the C. hemisphaerica jellyfish survives and thrives by constantly making new neurons.
POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION Postpartum depression can have great impact on maternal mental health and infant development. New research shows that a woman’s history of mental side effects to hormonal birth control, such as the contraceptive pill or the intrauterine device, may indicate an increased risk of postpartum depression.
Frontal brain region overrides reflexive inclination of a deeper, older region when rules require.
Providing water sources in residential gardens helps wildlife thrive, according to new University of Bristol-led research.
Research suggests the products of transcription — RNA molecules — regulate their own production through a feedback loop.
