Temperature is a critical variable that influences countless biological processes at the cellular level. However, precisely ...

A study of the fossilised fur of six mammals from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods has found they were all greyish-brown ...

An international team of paleontologists, geoscientists and biologists has found via analysis of melanosome patterns in ...

Microbes, traditionally thought to lack organelles, get a metabolic boost from geometric compartments that act as ... It’s becoming accepted, a lot, in the last 10 or 20 years that the prokaryotic ...

A discovery about how severe COVID-19 damages lung cells suggests that an existing drug could treat lingering respiratory ...

This paper presents the important finding that BNIP3/NIX, a mitophagy receptor, and its binding to ATG18 are required for mitophagy during muscle cell reorganization in Drosophila. Although the ...

D-MP-SIM revolutionizes live-cell fluorescence microscopy, enabling high-speed, high-resolution imaging with reduced motion ...

What if treating autoimmune diseases was as simple as regulating the acidity levels of parts of patients’ cells? New research ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new insights into how neurofilaments act like Velcro in neurodegenerative ...

Converting one type of cell to another - for example, a skin cell to a neuron - can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a "pluripotent" stem cell, then ...

Polyphosphate (polyP) exists in all life forms; however, its biological functions in metazoans are understudied. Here, we explored Drosophila as the first genetic model to explore polyP biology in ...

Mar. 10, 2025 — Feral cats have long been suspects in killing native species reintroduced into Australian conservation areas. DNA testing of the carcasses puts ...
