If you are suffering from Salmonella food poisoning or, worse, typhoid fever, you feel like every cell in your body is under attack from an army of invading…
The Cyphochilus beetle has a highly unusual brilliant white shell. New research by the University of Exeter and Imerys Minerals Ltd. and published in leading…
Kelp that grows in the upper tidal zone, such as bladder wrack and knotted wrack, is especially rich in phlorotannins. But the concentration of the compounds…
Researchers have found a marker on head and neck tumor cells that indicates which cells are capable of fueling the cancer’s growth. The finding is the first…
In the study, the research team used large electric fences to exclude cattle, elephants, zebras and other herbivorous mammals from experimental plots on a…
By modifying an existing technique of transplanting tissue from a patient's forearm to his tongue, surgeons can provide enough bulk to help improve the vital…
But exactly how the cell avoids such mistakes has remained unclear until now. Researchers at Ohio State University found the mechanism that prevents such…
The cell death process, or apoptosis, is characteristically impaired in cancer cells. The process is regulated by a large family of proteins that either…
The freeze-frame image of a molecular relay race, in which one enzyme passes off a protein like a baton to another enzyme, has solved a key mystery to how…
Using these supernovae they have traced the expansion history of the universe with unprecedented accuracy and sharpened our knowledge of what it might be that…
New studies published this month in the scientific journal Biological Conservation document an amazing concentration of over 1000 species unique–or endemic–…
The discovery was made after a resident brought insects to the attention of a pest control operator who identified them as kissing bugs. After researching the…
This simple control mechanism, which varies the flow of hydrogen fuel to control the power generated, was previously thought impossible and is a potentially…
