Ancient proteins may offer clues on how to engineer proteins that can withstand the high temperatures required in industrial applications, according to new…
As anyone who has spent wakeful nights suffering from jetlag will attest, the human body has a strong sense of time. The body clock runs on a 24-hour cycle, or…
Using a newly developed method researchers at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) have been able to shed light…
When Chlamydia trachomatis infects a human cell, it faces a huge challenge: It must prevent the cell from triggering programmed cell death to prevent the…
Dust from as far away as the Gobi Desert in Asia is providing more nutrients than previously thought for plants, including giant sequoias, in California's…
Molecular motors use the molecule ATP as energy source to organize the inner life of cells. Dyneins are the largest and most complex molecular motors and are…
Until recently, work on biological clocks that dictate daily fluctuations in most body functions, including core body temperature and alertness, focused on…
Off the coast of Spitsbergen, on the upper continental margin between Bear Island and Kongsfjord, methane gas is emitted from the seafloor at more than a…
Nothing works without proteins in the body, they are the molecular all-rounders in our cells. If they do not work properly, severe diseases, such as…
Unlike experimental neuroscientists who deal with real-life neurons, computational neuroscientists use model simulations to investigate how the brain…
Worldwide, amphibian populations are declining due to habitat loss, disease and pollution which is cited as a major threat to their survival.
Cheetahs have a relatively low genetic variability which means that, within a population, the individuals have a similar genetic makeup. This is also true for…
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM)–which enables the visualization of viruses, proteins, and other biological structures at the molecular level–is a critical…
Scientists at Fraunhofer FEP in conjunction with other partners within the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft have been conducting research for several years on employing…
Researchers face a fundamental challenge as they seek to scale up human tissue regeneration from small lab samples to full-size tissues, bones, even whole…
However, the elucidation of plant reactions to hypoxia confounded scientists. At the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (IPB) in Halle (Germany) and at…
