Gene Structure Gene structure is the arrangement of specialized sequence fragments within a gene. Genes provide the majority of the information required for live cells to survive…
Availability of Mutations Drives Influenza Evolution Influenza, sometimes known as the flu, is a viral respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses. These viruses can undergo mutations, which play an important role…
Worms With Spider Genes Spin Silk That is More Durable Than Bulletproof Kevlar Spider silk is elastic, robust, and durable. However, creating it by genetically engineering a more cooperative organism has been difficult. Researchers have now utilized gene…
Plant Hormones Plant hormones (or phytohormones) are signal molecules produced within plants that occur in extremely low amounts. These are signaling molecules produced by plants that play…
A Novel Therapeutic Option for Triple-negative Breast Cancer TNBC has remained a difficult subtype of breast cancer to treat because it lacks estrogen, progesterone, and HER2/neu receptors, which are the focus of many…
Inactivation of Common Cold Viruses Common cold viruses, such as rhinoviruses, can be difficult to inactivate because they are extremely infectious and transmit easily through respiratory droplets. Rather than attempting…
The Next Epidemic could be Detected Early in Wastewater In public health surveillance, monitoring wastewater for symptoms of new epidemics or infectious diseases is a valuable technique. This method, known as wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE),…
Plant Taxonomy Plant taxonomy is the science of discovering, identifying, describing, classifying, and naming plants. It is the science of naming, characterizing, and categorizing plants based on…
Researchers Uncover Genes Linked to Deadly Superbug Infections’ Antibiotic Resistance New genetic information about Staphylococcus aureus has been discovered by Australian researchers, shedding light on why the bacterium is so harmful when it enters the…
Deep Learning for Quicker and Sharper Whole-Body Imaging of Small Animals After a lightning strike, it takes some time for the sound of thunder to reach our ears. The photoacoustic (PA) effect, which causes materials nearby…
Immune Cells Move with Greater Autonomy than Previously Believed Immunological cell migration is a complex and dynamic process that is critical to the body’s immunological response. While immune cells were long assumed to travel…
Blocking Proteins may be able to turn off the Electricity to Colon Cancers Cancer is a complicated disease, and researchers are continually experimenting with new ways to target and treat various types of cancers, including colon cancer. One…
