Technology created at the University of Queensland could improve the odds of surviving brain cancer and change how we treat a ...

“Our results indicate that microplastics may tip the balance of conditions in favor of algal blooms,” the authors conclude in their study. “These results collectively illustrate that microplastics, ...

Blood tests are useful tools for doctors and scientific researchers: they can reveal a lot about a body's health. Usually, a blood sample is taken to get a picture of the large molecules that are ...

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have a unique resource in the form of the Center for Biomolecular ...

Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For example, they make it possible to synthesize chemicals in a more ...

Far from Earth's gravitational pull, a simple viral infection took on a new evolutionary direction. A study conducted aboard the ISS found that when bacteria and ...

Garter snakes can survive being frozen solid for hours. Here’s how evolution, biochemistry and behavior have allowed them to ...

The molecular clock theory posits that genetic changes happen steadily and gradually, offering a reliable means for peering into the past and theorizing when complex life first emerged. However, there ...

A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don’t really matter, but new evidence suggests that’s not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is ...
