Marine bacteria in the wild organize into professions or lifestyle groups that partition many resources rather than competing for them, so that microbes with…
“We hope to use the information from this study and others that identify genes associated with this problem to find biomarkers in blood that can help us…
The nitric oxide system in cells is “a major biological signaling pathway that has been missed with regard to the way it controls proteins,” and it is linked…
Invasive plant species can flourish better in their new homes than in their place of origin. The reasons for this can be genetic changes or the lack of…
Is the smell of almonds closer to that of roses or bananas? Weizmann Institute scientists have now answered that question (roses) by showing for the first time…
Building faultless objects from faulty components may seem like alchemy. Yet scientists from the Weizmann Institute's Computer Science and Applied Mathematics,…
Some phytoplankton can produce toxins that are harmful to other marine organisms, including fish. Holly A. Bowers of the University of Kalmar in Sweden has…
Contaminated fingerprints leave dark shadows on the films, which glow blue under ultraviolet light. One of the films can distinguish between different classes…
The finding, published online in May in the journal Blood, improves understanding of how such stem cells work and could have implications for the future of…
This year, the big hit with falcon-watchers has been the webcam at San Jose City Hall and a pair of falcons named Carlos and Clara, who are now raising three…
William Trogler and his team at the University of California, San Diego, made a silafluorene-fluorene copolymer to identify nitrogen-containing explosives. It…
They hope that this new method will make it possible to map disease genes in large patient groups, which in turn can mean quicker breakthroughs for new…
They are traditionally used for the production of fermented foodstuffs and probably contribute to fouling and spoilage. The occurrence of LABs is often not…
Efforts to protect the tumor-suppressor p53 could just as easily shelter a mutant version of the protein, causing cancer cells to thrive and spread rather than…
Researchers at the University of Minnesota’s Bell Museum of Natural History and Pennsylvania’s Villanova University have discovered a new family of gecko, the…
These small gaps between nerve cell endings have to be just the right size for messages to transmit properly. Synapses that grow too large or too small are…
