The fight against cancer involves eradicating cancer cells but current treatments inevitably have negative consequences on healthy cells. Patients often…
Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Copenhagen have built a self-assembled nanocage with a very…
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers repeatedly exposed bacteria to the antibiotic ciprofloxacin to force rapid evolution. As expected, the…
Swapping a single amino acid in a simple bacterial protein changes its structure and function, revealing the effects of complex gene evolution, finds a new…
How do bacteria manage to adapt to synthetic environmental toxins and, for example, to even develop strategies for using a pesticide and chemical warfare agent…
Psammogorgia pax, collected at a depth of 63 meters (207 feet) in Hannibal Bank –a flat-topped seamount located in Coiba National Park, a biodiversity hotspot…
A new study from Indiana University has revealed a previously unknown role a protein plays in helping bacteria reel in DNA in their environment — like a…
The discovery is that artificial intelligence can assist to design markers composed of a small combination of lipids that allow to provide significantly more…
Researchers at the University of Münster have developed a method which makes it possible to create three-coordinate Lewis superacids on the basis of…
Stem cells react to tissue damage with an increase in their proliferation rate, leading to the production of new differentiated cells. Balance between cell…
„It was already known that cancer patients that have many of these immune cells migrated into their tumour tissue have reduced survival rates”, says Sven…
A molecule that protects plants from overexposure to harmful sunlight thanks to its flamenco-style twist could form the basis for a new longer-lasting…
If a forest fire destroys larger plants, seeds of so called fire-followers see their chance: these have a receptor protein that can “smell” certain molecules…
Trions consist of three charged particles bound together by very weak bonding energy. Although trions can potentially carry more information than electrons in…
The steroid hormone aldosterone, in concert with other mechanisms, controls our blood pressure. It is secreted by the adrenal glands and regulates the water…
The search for effective biological tools is a marathon, not a sprint, even when the distances are on the microscale. A discovery at Rice University on how…
