Interestingly, besides inducing a stronger greenhouse effect, increasing carbon dioxide is also leading to global vegetation greening, especially in high…
A study just published in Nature Communications shows high frequency sound waves can have a significant impact on the inner micro-structure of 3D printed…
The research group used a method to stimulate the small pool of neural stem cells that reside in the brain in order to increase their number and the number of…
Within the cells, the actual biological factories, the molecules of life are assembled. The assembly lines of cells are small compartments called organelles,…
One of the leading threats to lakes since the rise of agriculture are runoffs from fertilizer, in the form of high phosphorus levels. These can trigger…
Cells called corneal keratocytes are innately programmed to come to the rescue if the eye is injured. This natural healing process sometimes fails, however,…
Ever since antiretroviral treatments against HIV infection were introduced in 1996, scientists have eagerly been hunting for a cure for the disease.
Researchers at Osaka University used electron cryomicroscopy (CryoEM) to image essential cardiac muscle components, known as thin filaments, with unprecedented…
To date, biodiversity research primarily focused on the number of plant species present in ecosystems. “Most studies so far have used small, artificially…
The zebrafish is a master of regeneration: If brain cells are lost due to injury or disease, it can simply reproduce them – contrary to humans where this only…
Many desert areas have large black spots in the sand. These spots are mineral deposits, so-called desert varnish. In the Atacama Desert, which can be compared…
Our fat cells, technically referred to as adipocytes, play an essential role in regulating energy balance in our body.
Knowing the precise value for the Hubble constant, a measure for how fast the universe expands, is important for determining the age, size, and fate of our…
Biological Engineers at the University of Bath have developed a test that could help medics quickly diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs), using a normal…
During the infection process, bacteria compete with the organism in obtaining these metals. The response to metal starvation is often very virulent, bringing…
Infrared (IR) thermography is used to determine the temperature of humans and objects with high precision and without interfering with the system. A single…
