A study reveals European starlings are not just advanced vocal learners but also adept problem solvers, suggesting a co-evolution of vocal learning, cognitive abilities, and…
Life runs on ribosomes. Every cell across the globe requires ribosomes to convert genetic data into the vital proteins required for the organism’s operation, and,…
In the early stages, every stem cell is presented with a decisive selection. For example, during the development of skin, the embryonic epidermis starts off…
Scientists have engineered the first transgenic ants to gain insights into the ants’ olfactory system. They found that alarm pheromones only activate specific areas in…
Scientists have developed a cell culture technology that creates “cloned” miniature human lungs on microchips from stem cells, offering a new method for studying lung…
In a major advance, scientists have assembled genomic sequences of 47 people from diverse backgrounds to create a pangenome, which offers a more accurate representation…
The world can be a hazardous place, with various dangers lurking around us such as bacteria, viruses, accidents, and injuries. Our skin acts as the…
Proteins integrated into the cell membrane play a crucial role in transporting nutrients to the intended destination within our cells. If this transportation system malfunctions…
A researcher at Rice University discovers a critical piece of information in discarded data that redirects their research in the right direction. Regular dental check-ups…
According to the theory of original antigenic sin (OAS), our immune systems react most strongly to the viral strains we encountered in our childhoods. This…
The male reproductive system is a hotspot for the emergence of new genes, which may explain why more new mutations are passed down from fathers…
Arginine is an amino acid naturally produced by our bodies and plentiful in the fish, meat, and nuts that we eat. However, as recent research…
Across the tree of life, ribosomes, the tiny protein-producing factories within cells, are ubiquitous and look largely identical. Ribosomes that keep bacteria chugging along are,…
New research reveals new information about sickness behaviors. When we’re feeling under the weather, we tend to eat, drink, and exercise less. We’re not the…
It can be impossible to hide from a female mosquito—she will hunt down any member of the human species by tracking our CO2 exhalations, body…
Between a variety of mosquito-borne diseases, most notably malaria, nearly one million deaths each year can be traced back to simple mosquito bites. Therefore, curbing…
