Soybeans (Glycine max) are a vital global source of plant protein and oil, used in food, feed, and industry. Increasing soybean yields is critical for ensuring food security and promoting sustainable agriculture. However, ...
Zebrafish midline tissues coordinate their growth during embryonic development using a leader-follower strategy described by formation control, as reported by researchers from Japan and the U.S. The notochord leads elongation, ...
A team led by scientists at Northwestern University has discovered how paraspeckles, a landmark (condensate) found in the nucleus of cells in many organ systems, form through a different mechanism than the well-established ...
A new study by Dr. Tian Ye's group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has revealed that mitochondrial stress coordinates chromatin remodeling and longevity ...
Clothing that adapts to one's needs and senses the external habitat. A lunar lava tunnel that uses bacteria, plants and fungi to create sustainable human habitats within otherwise unlivable places. Buildings grown from living ...
With today's advanced microscopes, scientists can capture videos of entire embryos developing in real time. But there's a catch: turning those breathtaking images into clean, accurate trajectories of each cell's journey as ...
In the past, scientists believed that the fast-acting biochemistry of genes and proteins was responsible for directing the forces that shape developing organs. But a new study from Syracuse University shows that steady, powerful ...
In the past decade, there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of single cells, to identify the functions and activities of any cell through the course of health or ...
The complex 3D shapes of brains, lungs, eyes, hands, and other vital bodily structures emerge from the way in which flat 2D sheets of cells fold during embryonic development. Now, researchers at Columbia Engineering have ...
Serving as the representative plant species in most plant research across the last half century, Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) has revealed how plants respond to light, which hormones control plant behavior, and why ...
