Study reveals stem cells' molecular timing mechanism
A German-French team has developed a light-sensitive switch that regulates a protein implicated in the neurobiology of synaptic plasticity. The agent promises to shed new light on the phenomenology of learning, memory and neurodegeneration.
Researchers from Sweden and the USA have shown that our perception of how organic matter is broken down by fungi and bacteria are fundamentally wrong. This means that climate models that take account of microorganisms to estimate future climate change must be reassessed.
Researchers demonstrate how gram-negative bacteria deliver toxins to kill neighboring bacteria
Biologist Peter Ward returned from the South Pacific with the news
Findings provide new insights into how the protein regulates cell growth and how mutations in the gene that encodes the protein can lead to cancer
Hydrogen sulphide could help men improve the quality of their sperm and thus their fertility
Scientists have discovered that farming status among social amoebae is conferred not by genetics, but by an infection
Researchers at U of T's Donnelly Center uncover protein part the controls neuron development
Researchers have created a new capability to minimize the human health effects of air pollution resulting from electric power generating facilities.
