A novel strategy developed at Rice University allows scientists to zoom in on tiny segments of proteins inside living cells, revealing localized environmental changes that could indicate the earliest stages of diseases such ...
University of Nebraska鈥揕incoln College of Engineering researchers are exploring a surprising ally in the fight against toxic "forever chemicals." Scientists in the labs of Rajib Saha and Nirupam Aich have discovered that ...
Seaweed growing along the world's coastlines could help to inspire new materials. Millions of years of evolution have shaped how seaweeds control light and color, which could offer new approaches for designers to explore.
A research team led by Prof. Liu Xuncheng from the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently published a study in the journal Plant Communications that sheds new light on the pathways that ...
Researchers at the Max Delbr眉ck Center have developed a new method to discover how DNA controls genes. Their technique, published in Cell Genomics, can reveal the genetic "switches" that regulate important genes more quickly ...
When cells are healthy, we don't expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won't naturally morph into a brain cell, and vice versa. That's thanks to epigenetic memory, which enables the expression ...
Many corals and sponges form skeletons that support and shape their bodies. Whereas biomineralization鈥攖he formation of these skeletons鈥攈as been intensively studied in corals, the main ecosystem engineers of today's hyperdiverse ...
With pollution levels rising, the need to quickly check water quality has become more urgent than ever. Traditional monitoring systems often rely on expensive bulky equipment with operational difficulty, making them impractical ...
Researchers have discovered how "pirate phages" hijack other viruses to break into bacteria, sharing new genetic material for dangerous traits.
Imagine being able to flip a light switch to control disease pathways inside a living cell. A team of visionary researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) is making this dream a reality ...
