Researchers have invented a new kind of artificial seed to sense environmental parameters without impacting the health of the environment.
The outermost epidermal cell layer of fleshy fruit is surrounded by a hydrophobic cuticle, notably thicker than that found on vegetative tissues. This cuticle, primarily composed of the cutin polymer, also contains waxes ...
The discovery of several exceptionally preserved reproduction-related dinosaur specimens over the last three decades has improved our knowledge of dinosaur reproductive biology. Nevertheless, due to limited fossil evidence ...
Researchers led by Meng Wenxiang from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have shown that knocking out of the calmodulin-regulated spectrin-associated protein 1 (CAMSAP 1) ...
Recently, the team of Academician Huang Wei, Professor Li Lin and Professor Hu Wen Bo from the School of Northwestern Polytechnical University developed an ultra-efficient NIR-II photothermal agent for 1,064 nm laser-mediated ...
Zoologists from St Petersburg University have investigated the muscular and lacunar systems of the externa of rhizocephalan barnacles (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala)—a group of parasitic crustaceans. The paper is published in ...
A novel biomaterial developed at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil can help solve two problems at once. As a bioparticle, it can act as a drug carrier, delivering medication directly to the gastrointestinal ...
Researchers from Western Sydney University have uncovered the secret eating habits of one of the world's most endangered animals.
Veterinary researchers have used organoids—three-dimensional organ-like structures grown from stem cells and tissue samples—to investigate the biological processes of lung cancer in dogs, a disease that is much rarer ...
For the first time, scientists have mapped the reproductive strategies and life cycle of an endangered coral species, offering hope it can be clawed back from the path to extinction.
