For migratory birds, early arrival in spring in the breeding area increases the likelihood of getting a mate and/or a high-quality territory, and therefore…
However, this will require molecular analysis systems that can examine hundreds or thousands of these cells individually and simultaneously. Current technology…
The gene Cdkn1c could have been considered an open-and-shut case: Mice in which the gene is removed are larger and have bigger brains, so Cdkn1c should…
The researchers identified neurons involved in initiating a call as well as another class of neurons that inhibits neighboring cells shortly before a bird…
In the laboratory in the Max-Planck-outpost research station for comparative cognition run in collaboration with the Loro Parque Fundación, in Puerto de la…
Selective fishing can disrupt the delicate balance maintained between corals and algae in embattled Caribbean coral reefs. Removing large parrotfish, which…
Zeolites crystals, used among other things for refining petroleum to gasoline and biomass into biofuels, are the most-used catalysts by weight on the planet,…
Our fat cells, technically referred to as adipocytes, play an essential role in regulating energy balance in our body.
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…
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…
Ever since antiretroviral treatments against HIV infection were introduced in 1996, scientists have eagerly been hunting for a cure for the disease.
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…
Within the cells, the actual biological factories, the molecules of life are assembled. The assembly lines of cells are small compartments called organelles,…
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…
