Researchers figure out how Cells Move
Scientists from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin have created a data science framework to better understand how cells travel…
Better Lactobacillus Strains can be achieved using DNA Base Editing instead of Copying and Pasting
A Kobe University team was able to edit the DNA of Lactobacillus strains directly without a template from other organisms. This technique is indistinguishable from natural variation…
How the Early Embryo’s DNA Self-organizes
An international research team led by Helmholtz Munich has, for the first time, provided a detailed insight into how the spatial organization of genetic material…
A Study on the Reliability of Insect Behavioral Tests has been Released
A recent study provides evidence that some results of behavioural experiments with insects cannot be fully reproduced. So far, possible reproducibility problems have been little…
Experimental Avian Flu Vaccine Outperforms in Animal Models
A vaccine under development at the University at Buffalo has demonstrated complete protection in mice against a deadly variant of the virus that causes bird…
Video Demonstrates how Animals Use Energy
Energy scarcity is a central driver of animal behavior and evolution. The amazing diversity of life on this planet is a testament to the plethora…
How Bacteria employ covert Chemistry to Disrupt Plant Defenses
In the microscopic battlefield of plant-microbe interactions, plants are constantly fighting off invading bacteria. New research reveals just how clever these bacterial invaders can be.…
Large Brains and Large Ranges may not enough to Protect Birds from Climate Change
Biologists have long debated why some plants and animals can adjust to a wide range of climates, while others can’t. Understanding why could help conservation…
Mechanisms of TB Immune System Evasion are revealed using a Light-activated Probe
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that kills more than a million people worldwide every year. The pathogen that causes the disease, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is deadly…
A Gene Editing Tech is repurposed by Scientists to help reveal hidden Microbial Diversity
Pioneering research has repurposed a gene editing tool to help shed light on the true biodiversity present in natural environments. The study, led by the…
Lactic Acid Bacteria can Boost Plant-based Dairy Replacements
