Evonik Industries has developed a new, more efficient process for the enzymatic synthesis of the amino acid serine—it is, among other things, required for the…
They have developed a new method to generate virus particles containing labeled viral DNA genomes. This allowed them to visualize, for the first time, single…
The hormone prolactin is probably best known for its role in stimulating milk production in mothers after giving birth. But prolactin also has an important…
The brain is an extremely adaptable organ – but it is also very conservative according to scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in…
Clay can be used in various forms for a range of objects such as cups, plates or bricks. Similarly, proteins can transform their structure and thus adapt their…
A new species of the giant fish arapaima has been discovered from the central Amazon in Brazil, raising questions about what other species remain to be…
Researchers at Princeton University have found that microRNAs — small bits of genetic material capable of repressing the expression of certain genes — may…
A specific protein once thought to exist only in the brain may play a crucial role in a deadly form of thyroid cancer, as well as other cancers, and provide a…
American researchers are now aiming to use waves to produce energy by making use of contact electrification between a patterned plastic nanoarray and water.In…
Researchers at McMaster University are addressing the crisis in drug resistance with a novel approach to find new antibiotics.“We have developed technology to…
This is important to human evolutionary history because it shows the socio-emotional framework commonly applied to children works equally well for apes. Using…
The investigators identified STAG2 as one of the most commonly mutated genes in bladder cancer, particularly in tumors that do not spread. The finding suggests…
The findings, reported in the journal Cell Metabolism, help explain the well-known capacity of endurance exercise to improve cognitive function, particularly…
