A New Study Sheds Light on the Origins of Human Hair
Researchers have examined what factors drive hair variation in a wild population of lemurs known as Indriidae. Specifically, the researchers aimed to assess the impacts…
Cancer-fighting Immune Cells are rejuvenated by Cellular ‘Waste Product’
A new study by UT Southwestern’s Simmons Cancer Center scientists suggests that lactate, a metabolic byproduct produced by cells during strenuous exercise, can rejuvenate immune…
Treating Sticky Infections May Be Possible by Dismantling Fungal Biofilm Defenses
The microbes that harm us frequently have strategies for dodging our attacks. The biofilm matrix, which surrounds hordes of disease-causing organisms, is a sticky, armor-like…
New Three-Dimensional X-Ray Microscope Technique for Cellular Resolution Imaging of Plants
A crucial component in researching and developing economically significant crops is measuring plant phenotypes, a term used to describe the observable properties of an organism.…
Bioactive Glass that Prevents Bacterial Resistance to Antibiotics
A straightforward procedure could significantly reduce infections connected to medical equipment like catheters, dental implants, orthopaedics, and wound dressings. Bioactive glass, a substance utilized in…
A Less Complicated Method of Creating Sensory Hearing Cells
Because mammalian inner ear hair cells do not regenerate on their own, irreversible damage is the primary cause of sensorineural hearing loss. Hair cell damage…
In Cooperative Microbial Communities, Drug Tolerance is Higher
The Francis Crick Institute’s research has identified a crucial mechanism that enhances microbial populations’ tolerance to medicines. The results might aid in the creation of…
Stonehenge Feasting Parasites are revealed in Prehistoric Feces
A study of ancient feces discovered at a settlement thought to have housed the builders of the famous stone monument suggests that parasites were consumed…
An International Team of Scientists Finds the “Fingerprint” for how much Heat and Drought are Harmful to Forests
How hot is too hot, and how dry is too dry, for the Earth’s forests? In a recent study, an international team of researchers examined…
Study Discovers Genes Play a Role in Florida Corals’ Immune Response to a Rapidly Spreading Disease
The first study to describe what coral genes are doing in response to a disease that is rapidly destroying corals throughout Florida and the Caribbean…
Marine Ecologists Claim that Distance does not Increase the Resilience of Coral Reefs
