Research led by the National Institute of Biological Sciences in Beijing has discovered that switching on a single dormant gene enables mice to regenerate ear tissue.
A good wildlife management plan must include information on their migratory processes if the conservation of species, particularly endangered species, is to be improved. In the marine environment, for example, regulating ...
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have uncovered new insights into how the proteins GRB2 and SOS1 in cells pass signals from membrane receptors to nuclei.
Scientists have found that the naked mole-rat—an underground rodent that lives up to 40 years—has lost a number of CD1 functional genes. The CD1 gene family in mammals is responsible for protein synthesis that protects the ...
When we talk about the microbiome, most of us think of the trillions of microorganisms that live in our bodies, supporting everything from digestion to mental health.
A study on dogs found that chromatin's spatial structure has a significant role in the evolution of social behavior. Chromatin, the compact form of DNA, not only packages genetic material but also plays a crucial role in ...
A recent study has unlocked the genetic complexities of almonds, highlighting a significant degree of heterozygosity and the influence of structural variants on gene expression. The research rigorously delineates allele-specific ...
The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a valuable model to study the regulation of macropinocytosis. A research team led by Prof. Cai Huaqing from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has ...
In Hungary, ethological research is most often identified with tests on dogs, but novel methodological advances could bring another species, the paradise fish, into the spotlight. Fish are easy to handle and produce numerous ...
Curly—or Karelian—birch is a mysterious tree with a patterned wood texture and a bizarre trunk shape. Unlike the elegant white-stemmed traditional birch, the Karelian one may seem unsightly at first glance: It is a low-growing, ...
