Scientists in Australia have made a groundbreaking discovery involving a defense mechanism seen in the animal kingdom: Playing Dead. However, this particular instance is unlike anything previously documented. Entire ant colonies were observed engaging in a collective behavior of feigning death, marking a remarkable find. The strategy of appearing dead is commonly employed by various […]
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

A group of biologists from the University of Glasgow, working with colleagues from different Institutes in the nation of Peru, found that eliminating bat colonies after an outbreak of cattle rabies is not an efficient way to stop the spread of the disease. In their research, published in the journal Science Advances, the team analyzed

Great white sharks have few predators capable of dominating them. Yet their lives are not easy as they have to deal with others of the same species. Even having terrible wounds in a short time, white sharks can heal and this characteristic we also find in other species of sharks. In the United States of

A group of forestry professionals at Northeast Forestry College, working with two associates from Zhejiang University School of Medication, has uncovered how the Chinese red-headed centipede can detect sunlight despite having no eyes or even photoreceptors. In their paper released in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team explains testing the myriapods under

A team of undergraduate and also graduate chemistry students in Jennifer Hines’ laboratory at Ohio University recently uncovered a current class of compounds that can target RNA and disrupt its function. This discovery determined a chemical scaffold that might ultimately be utilized in the development of RNA-targeted medicines to treat bacterial and viral infections, along

In a research showing up today in JAMA Network Open, Rady Kid’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM) scientists discovered that the contribution of genetic diseases to infant deaths was greater than formerly recognized. Of 112 infant deaths examined, single-locus (Mendelian) genetic diseases were found to be the most typical antecedent of baby death and associated

There is a very long process before the approval of a medicine, a new drug or a healing substance. It goes through a long procedure of controlling conditions. The very first results are applied on animated beings and reevaluated in hospitals and a lot of scientific labs. The tests involve using cell lines of human

Aged bone marrow stimulates the expansion of arterial smooth muscle cells and also exacerbates the build-up of fatty deposits in artery walls, a recent Yale research has discovered. The effects of bone marrow aging are not defined The aftermaths of the aging of cells in the bone marrow on arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are
