How To Divide And Conquer 'Social Network' Of Cells
On Noah's Ark animals came in twos: male and female. In human bodies trillions of cells are coupled, too, and so are the molecules from which they are composed. Yet...
Drought resistance explained
Much as adrenaline coursing through our veins drives our body's reactions to stress, the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is behind plants' responses to stressful situations such as drought, but...
Learning How Animals Regenerate Body Parts
Salk Institute scientists found that dual-purpose switches controlled many of the genes activated in the regenerating cells of a zebra fish’s tail.
Instant insight: Reactions in droplets
Microfluidic droplets could become the reaction vessels of choice for much of biological research say Yolanda Schaerli and Florian Hollfelder
Genetic tests help track food web, climate change
BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) - New uses of genetic testing can help track how animal diets may change due to global warming and are helping crack down on wildlife smuggling, experts...
Bill Would Limit Needle Exchanges
The provision would ban federally financed needle exchanges from being within 1,000 feet of any place children might gather, and would apply to most of the exchanges.
Great news, Ratty! Study shows UK has a whole load of voles
Water voles - one of the UK's fastest declining mammals - enjoyed a "bumper year" in 2009, a study says.
Nutritional Value Of Andalusian Lupins Revealed
Researchers in Spain have found that several species of lupins from the mountains of Andalusia have a protein content similar to that of other cultivated legumes.
Gene Therapy Stalls Development Of Huntington's Disease In Mice
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have shown that a highly specific intrabody (an antibody fragment that works against a target inside a cell) is capable of stalling the...
Feature: Frogs near freeway croak it
Why amorous urban frogs are thwarted by traffic noise - it's not as simple as you may think.
Developmental Delay Could Stem From Nicotinic Receptor Deletion
The loss of a gene through deletion of genetic material on chromosome 15 is associated with significant abnormalities in learning and behavior, say researchers in a new study.
Expert: Separate pandas to rekindle affection
Taipei Zoo wants to boost pandas’ feelings to encourage reproduction.
Early life stress 'changes' genes
A study in mice has shown how stress in early life can have a long-term impact on genes and on behaviour.
