A team of biotechnology researchers working at the University of East Anglia has developed a new way to increase disease resistance in plants—give them animal antibodies. In their paper published in the journal Science, ...
Tetrahymena, a tiny single celled-organism, turns out to be hiding a surprising secret: it's doing respiration—using oxygen to generate cellular energy—differently from other organisms such as plants, animals or yeasts. ...
