Researchers have developed a powerful tool capable of scanning thousands of biological samples to detect transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) modifications—tiny chemical changes to RNA molecules that help control how cells ...
Genetically engineered cell lines used in biomedical research have long been prone to misidentification and unauthorized use, wasting billions of dollars each year and jeopardizing critical scientific discoveries. These problems ...
Researchers at EPFL have created the first 4D lipid atlas of vertebrate development, revealing how fats shape our bodies from embryo to organism.
Cell walls don't just provide support and protection for plants—they're also packed with energy-rich biomaterials that could open new pathways for additional fuel, chemical, and material sources in the U.S. That's why biologists ...
Researchers from Academia Sinica, Taiwan and the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen, Germany, have revealed how the nematode gene nhr-66 controls the production of cuticular collagens that enable predatory fungi to ...
After many years of research, the Mibelle Group, LanzaTech and the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB have achieved a breakthrough in sustainable innovation: With the help of modern biotechnology, ...
Cells in our body are programmed to die after a certain period of time—a natural process known as apoptosis. This process is essential for maintaining the body's balance. When aged or damaged cells are not properly eliminated, ...
With the power to rewrite the genetic code underlying countless diseases, CRISPR holds immense promise to revolutionize medicine. But until scientists can deliver its gene-editing machinery safely and efficiently into relevant ...
It's survival of the fittest in nature, and an alien-looking ground mite demonstrates how the most promiscuous males fight and sometimes even cannibalize other males to 'win' greater access to females.
A plant's number one priority is to grow—a feat that demands sunlight, nutrients, and water. If just one of these three inputs is missing, like water in a drought, growth halts. You might then think that at the end of that ...
