Researchers at the University of Zurich have developed a novel method for analyzing cells and their components called Iterative Indirect Immunofluorescence…
In the course of global climate change, scientists are observing the increase of low-oxygen areas in the ocean, also termed oxygen minimum zones (OMZs)….
During human evolution, the size of the brain increased, especially in a particular part of the brain called the neocortex. The neocortex is responsible for…
In separate studies published online in Nature on Aug. 1, two independent research teams report the discovery of a new, rare type of cell in the human airway….
The observation that embryos of some species still undergo normal development after large tissue blocks have been removed is not new. Researchers had already…
He also faces the reality of life outside – outside the gates of Jacobs University Bremen. Ullrich is not someone who hides in the laboratory. In “Science goes…
Scientists have discovered that an ice-binding protein (fcIBP) from the sea ice microalga does not fit in the conventional classification of ice-binding…
The immune system protects the human body against pathogens thus keeping it healthy. To achieve this, however, immune cells must be able to recognise intruders…
In a new paper in the journal mAbs, researchers at the Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research (IBBR), a joint institute of NIST and the University…
Now, a study published in the PLoS Biology offers a new tool to study this bacteria-host interaction. A research team from the Gulbenkian Institute of Science…
“Single-cell technologies are already revolutionizing biology”, as LMU molecular biologist Professor Wolfgang Enard puts it. Enard and his group have now…
As the plant root grows, a root cap protects its fragile tip. Every few hours, the old cap is lost and a new one replaces it. This has puzzled scientists: how…
Terpenes are the largest class of chemical compounds that are found in nature. They include, for example, many essential oils, steroids and clinically relevant…
Various mechanisms exist for cells to communicate with each other, and many are essential for development. A team of international researchers looked at how…
Madagascar’s red-fronted lemurs may have a secret weapon from nature’s medicine cabinet: millipedes. This is according to a study led by Louise Peckre of the…
Researchers at the Center for Nanoparticle Research, within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS, South Korea), have developed a set of nanoparticles for…
