New era in amphibian biology

ISTA scientists use harmless viruses to investigate the nervous system in frogs. Amphibians hold a significant place in evolution, representing the transition from aquatic to terrestrial lifestyles. They are crucial…

How fungi colonize plant roots

In nature, plant roots are always colonized by fungi. This interaction can be either mutualistic, benefiting both the plant and the fungus, or pathogenic, where the fungus harms the host…

Cause of common cancer immunotherapy side effect s

New insights into how checkpoint inhibitors affect the immune system could improve cancer treatment. A multinational collaboration co-led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has uncovered a potential explanation…

New tool makes quick health, environmental monitoring possible

University of Wisconsin–Madison biochemists have developed a new, efficient method that may give first responders, environmental monitoring groups, or even you, the ability to quickly detect harmful and health-relevant substances…

Cancers grow uniformly throughout their mass

Constant ‘churn’ of new cancer cells gives the disease ample room for evolutionary innovation, according to a study in the journal eLIFE. Researchers at the University of Cologne and the…

Scientists Create a “Minimal Cell Membrane” with Just Two Lipids

Exploring Life at Its Simplest: Lipids, or fats, are essential to life. They form the membranes around cells, protecting them from the outside. In nature, there is an enormous diversity…
