“What has been good practice in forestry for many decades has not yet been fully established in reef restoration: often there are no clearly defined goals, no…
Numerous cellular processes such as immune responses or cell multiplication depend on many different proteins working in sequence. In order for the cell to…
Information from sensory organs, such as the eyes or the ears, is passed from nerve cell to nerve cell in the form of electrical impulses. These impulses can…
Pectoral sandpipers (Calidris melanotos) migrate long distances, also during the breeding season. After a journey from the wintering grounds in the Southern…
Plants use their roots to search for water. While the main root digs downwards, a large number of fine lateral roots explore the soil on all sides. As…
“Our tools open up whole new chemical space for potential drug targets,” says Huw Davies, Emory professor of organic chemistry and senior author of the paper.
With its stocky, spotted body, big eyes and large mouth, the round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) may not be the most attractive of aquatic creatures, but it is…
In adults, billions of mature blood cells are formed from haematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow every day. This process is tightly regulated by a family…
The ability of pathogens to multiply in the host is crucial for the spread of infections. The speed of bacterial division greatly depends on the environmental…
Father, mother, child: That is the classic reproduction strategy in nature, both for animals and for plants. However, since 2017, other rules apply in the…
The current public health emergency partially resembles the emergence of the SARS outbreak in southern China in 2002, which led to more than 8,000 human…
However, these techniques usually rely on chemical and genetic drugs or exotic nanomaterials to actualize treatments, making them quite difficult or debatable…
By producing certain exudates, plants communicate with and govern the microbial life within their rhizosphere for their own benefit. Now, researchers have…
Cholesterol-lowering drugs, which are commonly referred to as statins, are some of the most frequently prescribed drugs around the world. Generally speaking,…
Developing fundamentally new approaches against multi-resistant germs: This is the goal of the new Bavarian research network bayresq.net. The Free State of…
The study, published in the journal Cell Reports, describes the way in which human stem cells evolve into germ cells, the precursors for egg and sperm cells.
