Sea anemones may hold the key to the ancient origins of body symmetry. A study from the University of Vienna shows they use a molecular mechanism...
Bumblebee queens don t work nonstop. UC Riverside scientists discovered that queens take strategic reproductive breaks early in colony formation likely to conserve energy and increase...
Scientists found out how naturally unstable filaments decide whether to grow or to shorten.
Scientists have developed a unified theory for mathematical parameters known as gauge freedoms. Their new formulas will allow researchers to interpret research results much faster and...
Researchers have shown that gonadotrophs, cells in the pituitary gland with a key role in puberty and reproduction, come from two different populations, with the majority...
Scientists have elucidated the molecular mechanism by which LEM-3 cuts DNA bridges during cytokinesis.
A team was able to show that swimming movements are possible even without a central control unit. This not only explains the behavior of microorganisms, it...
Researchers have discovered how a parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite can hide from the body's immune system, sometimes for years. It...
Research improves upon a popular experimental model of mammal development and in doing so, reveals more of the inner workings of a critical period during the...
Using a new fluorescent mouse model with advanced imaging techniques, researchers have successfully visualized how musculoskeletal components are integrated into the functional locomotor system during embryonic...
