DGIST researchers are improving the performance of lithium-air batteries, bringing us closer to electric cars that can use oxygen to run longer before they…
More than half of cancer cases worldwide are associated with genetic mutations in p53, the protein responsible for protecting DNA from changes that can lead to…
New viruses which cause diseases often come from animals. Well-known examples of this are the Zika virus transmitted by mosquitoes, bird flu viruses, as well…
Infrared (IR) thermography is used to determine the temperature of humans and objects with high precision and without interfering with the system. A single…
During the infection process, bacteria compete with the organism in obtaining these metals. The response to metal starvation is often very virulent, bringing…
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), more commonly known as oxygen radicals, are both a blessing and a curse: in a healthy organism they regulate cell growth,…
The unusual high quality and depth of coverage of the sequence allowed the researchers to assemble the vast majority of the genome into 14 chromosomes and…
Increasing abundance of plastic waste has alarmed the society, but the environmental fate of microplastics has been difficult to trace. A research group led by…
The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a vertebrate animal model excellent for in vivo imaging of biological events. However, to knockin two loxP sites in the…
Cows can adapt themselves to a fluctuating sodium content in their feed. How they do that was so far a secret. Researchers from Goethe University have now…
The size of the human brain increased profoundly during evolution. A certain gene that is only found in humans triggers brain stem cells to form a larger pool…
The international team, led by researchers at Oxford University Museum of Natural History, described a new mechanism for vision in the red brittle star Ophiocoma wendtii…
Clostridium Difficile (C. diff) is a virulent health care-associated infection responsible for nearly 13,000 deaths and over $5 billion in health care related…
In recent years, immunotherapies against cancer have raised great hopes. These novel therapies recruit the body’s immune system to destroy cancerous tissue.
Sustainability scientists have developed systematic and comprehensive assessment methods and performed the first assessment of a country's progress in…
Tiny bits of DNA collected from waters off the West Coast allowed scientists to identify more species of marine vertebrates than traditional surveys with trawl…
