Now, Dr. Katharina Walentin and Professor Kai Schmidt-Ott of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch have discovered a new molecular…
Reproduction at old age involves risks that may impact ones’ own life and may impose reduced biological fitness on the offspring.
In large part, this highly regulated process of gene expression is what makes us fully functioning, complex beings, rather than a blob of like-minded cells.
In contrast to the energy and fuel sectors that are influenced by government targets for green alternatives, the chemical industry is mainly driven by market…
Lighting technology is in a state of change. The old-fashioned light-bulb, which was more efficient at converting electricity into heat than light, is…
When University of California, Berkeley, bioengineers say they are holding their hearts in the palms of their hands, they are not talking about emotional…
Habitat alteration due to forest clearing and climate change threaten wildlife populations throughout the globe. To better understand the interacting effects…
The historic northern limit of this species of crab (also called Atlantic blue or Chesapeake blue) is Cape Cod, Mass. They typically weren't found in the Gulf…
If you walk into your local drug store and ask for a supplement to help you sleep, you might be directed to a bottle labeled “melatonin.” The hormone…
Alongside Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, disc-shaped galaxies, or the cochlea of the human ear, scientists can now count sap-feeding butterfly proboscises…
When cells divide, their genetic information is passed on to both daughter cells in a highly complex process. Thereby, an important role is played by small,…
This structure shields tail-anchored membrane proteins – which have roles in a wide variety of cellular functions from neurotransmitter release to insulin…
In a study with mice, Alexander Lerchl, Professor of Biology at Jacobs University, and his team could verify that carcinogen-induced tumor rates were…
Many birds spend only a few months of the year in their breeding range before leaving to spend the winter in another region or even on another continent, and…
Their approach, based on research results published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, improves upon an existing…
Large facilities like big box stores or hospitals could keep the lights on by using a fuel cell that runs off the natural gas that already flows in pipelines…
