Drastic advances in research of artificial intelligence have led to a wide range of fascinating developments in this area over the last decade. Autonomously…
Millions of tiny microbes on leaves, stones or our skin jostle for space. And almost everywhere they have to compete for resources and nutrients. In the course…
Some foods make us happy. Well, maybe not happy but they make us feel good. That is why we cannot stop eating when we have had enough. Scientists call this…
The five-year project “Enhancing Translational Safety Assessment through Integrative Knowledge Management” (eTRANSAFE) is aimed at developing an advanced data…
At the age of about 65, five out of ten people have already lost so much of their hearing sensitivity that speech intelligibility and listening to music may be…
A central aspect of life sciences is to explore the symbiotic cohabitation of animals, plants and humans with their specific bacterial communities. Scientists…
Group A Streptococcus bacteria cause a variety of illnesses that range from mild nuisances like strep throat to life-threatening conditions including…
The genome of a typical organism consists of many genes that are stringed like beads. This alignment has been surprisingly stable even over very long…
Dr. Nikolay Ninov, group leader at the DFG research center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD), Cluster of Excellence at the TU Dresden, and Paul…
However, whereas massive inroads have been made into genomics, metabolomics, or protein and lipid research, glycosylation remains largely unexplored at the…
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley and Massachusetts General Hospital have identified a key region within the Cas9 protein that governs how…
While immune cells called neutrophils are known to act as infantry in the body's war on germs, a National Institutes of Health-funded study suggests they can…
In modern life sciences, a paradigm shift is becoming increasingly evident: life forms are no longer considered to be self-contained units, but instead…
Parental care is widespread in the animal kingdom. Poison frogs are also known to be dedicated parents. They pick up their tadpoles after they hatch and…
When proteins pull on each other, forces in the piconewton range are generated. Cells can detect such mechanical information and modulate their response…
