The research project “Competitive Insect Products (CIP)” of the DBFZ and Hermetia Baruth GmbH, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF),…
A paper describing the research, which provides insight into the molecular mechanisms of competition among bacteria in a microbiome, appears online in the Journal of Bacteriology…
“The research project focused on the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a tissue that is critically important to the functioning of the retina. The project…
Researchers have discovered that the numbers of plant species recorded by botanists have increased in locations where the climate has changed most rapidly, and…
If we consider the most serious plant diseases of our time, potato blight would definitely be near the top, with its pathogen – Phytophthora infestans – having…
University of Queensland scientists have identified a way to help dermatologists determine a patient's risk of developing melanoma.
Unlike animals, plants cannot move and tap into new resources when there is a scarcity or lack of nutrients. Instead, they have to adapt to the given…
A scar on the elbow that is strained with every movement, or a foot, on which a wound simply does not want to close – poorly healing injuries are a common…
Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are a major cause of serious infections that often persist despite antibiotic treatment, but scientists at the UNC School of…
Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine recently found that removing the enzyme PHLPP1 improved outcomes in a mouse model of…
The mechanisms by which new species arise are still not fully understood. What are the evolutionary processes that drive the evolution of new species?…
Rice University scientists have found a way to engineer a new kind of cell differentiation in bacteria, inspired by a naturally occurring process in stem cells.
Many diseases occur because a person’s DNA contains errors, so-called mutations. These cause vital protein molecules to be produced incorrectly. Sometimes the…
Their paper, published today in the journal Nature Materials, explains why these detergents, called ionic liquids, are better electrolytes than current…
Recycling is also a vital process in the cells of the human body. Using the process known as autophagy, cells break down defective and therefore potentially…
Based on insights from studying basic mechanisms of gene regulation and human hereditary diseases, it was previously assumed that the three-dimensional…
