Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology, together with American colleagues, have decoded the genome of the Pristionchus pacificus…
Infections are particularly risky in lizards that are bred in captivity for release into the wild, as they can spread into the wild population. The cause of…
Now, scientists from the USA have discovered that a molecule produced by a common gut bacterium activates signalling pathways that are associated with cancer…
Now researchers at Uppsala University can show that this is wrong. Using medical x-rays, they found rudiments of fingers in the fins in fossil Panderichthys,…
Developed in collaboration with industrial scientists at Perdix and Malvern Instruments, the new process analytical technology (PAT) tool characterises…
Two scientists in the Laboratoire Écologie & Évolution (CNRS/Université Pierre et Marie Curie/École normale supérieure de Paris) have demonstrated the adaptive…
For years, researchers have known that high blood pressure causes blood vessels to contract and low blood pressure causes blood vessels to relax. Until…
Walnut trees respond to stress by producing significant amounts of a chemical form of aspirin, scientists have discovered. The finding, by scientists at the…
Pacific iguanas have almost disappeared as the result of human presence. Two species were eaten to extinction after people arrived nearly 3,000 years ago. The…
When fungi, such as penicillium, grow, they form a thread-like network, the mycelium. If the fungus is grown in a medium containing nanoscopic particles of a…
An essential element in this process is a controlled protein production along with the synapse. VIB researchers connected to the Center for Human Genetics…
Dr. Stephen Davies, Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine, reported that in collaboration with…
In British Columbia, Canada, recommended maximum waiting times for CABG surgery are six weeks for semi-urgent cases and twelve weeks for cases that are…
In a project that could revolutionise the food industry and improve the health of millions, researchers at Sheffield Hallam University have been working with…
Being developed by a consortium of UK universities, the nanostructures can regulate reactions, momentum, and heat and mass transfer inside chemical reactors….
The four-year project focuses on developing methods for production of valuable pharmaceutical compounds using plant cells as a production host in an effective…
