Genetic Predisposition – a Genetic Characteristic
Genetic predisposition is the increased likelihood of developing a specific trait or condition as a result of an individual’s genetic make-up. It is a genetic…
Signal Transduction
The process by which cells communicate with one another and respond to external stimuli is referred to as signal transduction. It is the process by…
A Consensus is required on when Global Warming will reach 1.5°C
A team of Met Office scientists wrote in the journal Nature ahead of COP28 that there is currently no formally agreed way of defining the…
A Greener Solution Drives a New Method for Recycling Lithium-ion Batteries
Used lithium-ion batteries from cell phones, laptops, and an increasing number of electric vehicles are piling up, but the only ways to recycle them are…
Invasive Species are a Problem in Public Gardens
Some non-native plants grown in public gardens or arboretums are escaping and becoming invasive in natural forests. Denis Conover, a botanist, does not have to…
Hybrid Transistors Pave the Way for Biological and Microelectronic Integration
Using common microprocessor manufacturing methods, researchers create transistors by combining silicon with biological silk. To change its properties, the silk protein can be easily modified…
Metastasis Suppressor – a type of gene or protein
Metastasis suppressors are genes or proteins that prevent cancer cells from spreading from the primary tumor to other parts of the body, a process known…
Ancient Pathogen Genomics
Ancient pathogen genomics is the extraction, sequencing, and analysis of genetic material from ancient pathogens. It is a scientific field concerned with the study of…
Molecular Paleontology – a study of evolutionary events
Molecular paleontology is a relatively new interdisciplinary field that uses molecular techniques to study the evolution and relationships of ancient organisms. It combines principles from…
Immunological Synapse – in Immunology
An immunological synapse (also known as an immune synapse) is the interface between an antigen-presenting cell or target cell and a lymphocyte such as a…
Cell Signaling – in Biology
Cell signaling is the process by which a cell communicates with itself, other cells, and its surroundings. It is the process by which cells communicate…
