When infections occur in the body, stem cells in the blood often jump into action by multiplying and differentiating into mature immune cells that...
It’s been said metaphorically that too much focus on the trees can cause one to lose sight of the forest. In a similar check of perspective, a group...
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Lund University, Sweden, have bioengineered a novel molecule which has been proven to...
Australian scientists have charted the path of insulin action in cells in precise detail like never before. This provides a comprehensive blueprint...
It is the first time scientists have decoded the genome of a plant pathogen and its plant host from dried herbarium samples. This opens up a new area...
Scientists at the University of California, Davis have engineered a strain of photosynthetic cyanobacteria to grow without the need for light. They...
Humans interact with bacteria almost every minute of our lives. Of the millions of these interactions, only a handful result in disease, and some...
MIT researchers find that the key to purple bacteria’s light-harvesting prowess lies in highly symmetrical molecules.
Purple bacteria are among...
To eventually use stem cells in regenerative medicine, scientists need to understand how stem cells become organized into particular tissue patterns...
For plants and animals forced to tough out harsh winter weather, the coverlet of snow that blankets the north country is a refuge, a stable beneath-...
