The Way Mouse Embryos Determine Between The Left And Right Sides

Biochemistry, Biology, Cell Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology /

The process through which small hairs in embryos perceive fluid movement has been identified by biologists from RIKEN, which ultimately results in the development of differences between the left and right sides of the embryo. This discovery not only settles a longstanding argument but also provides valuable insights for studying disorders that occur due to

Belt and Suspenders: Alpine Lake Bacteria Deploy 2 Light-Harvesting Systems

Biology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Science /

Though human beings, along with other vertebrate and invertebrate organisms, do not photosynthesize, we’re certainly the downstream beneficiaries of the life forms that do. Phototrophic organisms at the bottom of the food chain convert plentiful sunlight into the energy that ultimately powers all other life. The 2 metabolic systems for harvesting light energy are fundamentally

Vitamin K Found To Prevent Cell Death

Biology, Cell Biology, Healthcare, Medicine, Science /

A group of scientists from Helmholtz Munich has identified a new use for vitamin K, typically recognized for its part in blood clotting. In its fully reduced configuration, the researchers discovered that vitamin K operates as an anti-oxidant by efficiently inhibiting ferroptotic cell death. Ferroptosis is a natural kind of cell death in which cellular

Mathematics Allow Scientists Too Understand Organization Within A Cells Nucleus

Biology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Science /

Science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke’s 3rd law states that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Indika Rajapakse, Ph.D., is a believer. The engineer and mathematician now discovers himself a biologist. And he believes the charm of blending these 3 disciplines is crucial to unraveling how cells function. His latest development is a
