Tools that offer early and accurate insight into plant health—and allow individual plant interventions—are key to increasing crop yields as environmental pressures increasingly impact horticulture and agriculture.
Human development is a beautiful, complex process. Beginning from just two germ cells, the cells divide and double until an entire organism is developed in just under a year.
Current methods of antibody detection, such as conventional serological assays, are limited in terms of the amount of information they can process in a single test. Although more recent techniques have made it possible to ...
Australian researchers are turning to nature for the next computing revolution, harnessing living cells and biological systems as potential replacements for traditional silicon chips. A new paper from Macquarie University ...
Malaria remains a persistent public health burden, with Plasmodium falciparum causing the most dangerous form of malaria and the most lethal infections. Its capacity to develop resistance to current treatments underlines ...
A team of biophysicists has published a step-by-step guide for the reliable cultivation of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The guide will support researchers worldwide in the fields of life sciences, ...
Natural products are among the most promising candidates for the development of new drugs. However, due to their structural complexity, they are often difficult to access.
Researchers from the University of Adelaide have discovered how water molecules are organized during plant hydrolytic reactions, knowledge that could have sweeping consequences for the biomedical, pharmaceutical, food and ...
Looking around, you might not realize it, but corn is everywhere. In one form or another, it's in the cereals in your cupboard, the cosmetics and medicines in your bathroom, the kibble in your pet's food bowl, and the gas ...
Traditional biochemical methods of studying human gene mutations are often laborious and costly. Now bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new simple approach to rapidly check on human gene ...
