Consider Nuclear, For Biodiversity’s Sake
Nuclear energy should be considered to prevent biodiversity loss from converting land to renewable energy uses, researchers say.
Bridging Two Mysteries At The Heart Of Quantum Physics
It turns out that wave-particle duality is simply the quantum uncertainty principle in disguise.
How Viruses Hijack Plants To Attract Pests
Begomoviruses can hijack host plant signalling pathways to attract more insect vectors, study says.
The Immature Cells That Regulate Autoimmunity
Scientists have identified the cells responsible for producing anti-inflammatory IL-10 in mouse autoimmune disease models.
Autoimmunity Linked To Unstable Proteins
HLA alleles that encode for more unstable proteins are associated with type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease.
Can Conservation Genomics Bring Birds Back From The Brink?
The genetic profile of the almost-extinct Crested Ibis could aid conservation efforts for other species.
How Cotton Fiber Growth Is Regulated
Silencing of the gene GhHOX3 dramatically reduces cotton fiber length, whereas its overexpression leads to longer fibers.
Old Diabetes Drug Takes On New Target
Scientists have found that the drug metformin can indirectly boost existing TB therapy while avoiding drug resistance.
Engineering Cyanobacteria For Higher Yields
Scientists have engineered a cyanobacteria mutant that can produce higher amounts of glucosylglycerol.
