The results have shown that in order to improve the understanding of the atmospheric chemistry and its climate effects over the oceans, a more detailed…
Ribonucleic acids – RNAs for short – serve as intermediates in the ordered translation of the hereditary information stored in the DNA into blueprints for the…
Light is not only a source of energy, but also an important signal which regulates many light-dependent growth processes in a plant in order to adapt it to its…
A discovery led by Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) could lead to improvements in the way drugs are delivered to the right…
Within a cell there are specialized compartments called organelles, as for example nucleus, mitochondria, peroxisomes and vacuoles that are responsible for…
A new study published today in Scientific Reports by University of Delaware researchers and colleagues reveals that 100 feet below the surface of the ocean is…
Mistakes happen. This is the case in the process of transporting genetic information in cells. How our cells keep errors in this process in check is the…
Ribosomes are among the most complex components in the cell, responsible for churning out all the proteins a cell needs for survival. In bacteria, ribosomes…
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common chronic liver disease in Europe and the U.S. “When left untreated, fatty liver is an important step…
Putting the squeeze on mitochondria: The final cut
An ongoing challenge for scientists working to understand the brain is being able to see all its parts. Researchers have spent centuries developing better…
Under the assumptions of Stephen P. Hubbell's neutral theory of biodiversity and Motoo Kimura's neutral theory of molecular evolution, dispersal limitation and…
In principle, there is no lack of iron on Earth as the metal is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust. However in the ocean, dissolved iron is…
The little butterfly-shaped organ is a powerhouse. A thyroid that releases too much or too little hormone can trigger a wide variety of health problems: For…
To rapidly carry information throughout the body, neurons form intricate networks by sending long protrusions to physically contact other neurons, sometimes…
A study led by ecologists from the University of Konstanz shows that plants able to produce seeds without mates or pollinators are more likely to naturalize…
