Neuroscientists discover how the brain slows anxious breathing

Salk scientists identify brain circuit used to consciously slow breathing and confirm this reduces anxiety and negative emotions. Deep breath in, slow breath out… Isn’t it odd that we can…

Highly selective pathway for propyne semihydrogenation achieved via CoSb intermetallic catalyst

Researchers delved deep into the regulation of cobalt active sites to enhance the selectivity of propylene to improve scalability and affordability of the production of this important chemical. Chemical reactions…

How marine worms regenerate lost body parts

The return of cells to a stem cell-like state as the key to regeneration. Many living organisms are able to regenerate damaged or lost tissue, but why some are particularly…

New Insights into Flowering Regulation

Impact of Carbon and Nitrogen Signalling on Floral Repressors in Arabidopsis. An international research team, including Dr Justyna Olas who is co-first author on this study, has uncovered fundamental mechanisms…

Viscosity of materials key to cell differentiation

A study led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) has revealed how mesenchymal stem cells respond to the viscosity of their environment, a key aspect in their differentiation…

Tiny worm makes for big evolutionary discovery

UC Riverside scientists have described ‘Uncus,’ the oldest ecdysozoan and the first from the Precambrian period. Everyone has a past. That includes the millions of species of insects, arachnids, and…
