A new study shows how the chemical properties of RNA molecules could have facilitated the emergence of complex life. How was complex life able to develop on the inhospitable early…
Scientists have taken a major step towards developing a blood test that could identify millions of people who spread tuberculosis unknowingly. A breakthrough study has discovered a group of biological…
It’s one of life’s most defining moments—that crucial step in embryonic development, when an indistinct ball of cells rearranges itself into the orderly three-layered structure that sets the stage for…
Researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt and Kiel University have developed a novel sensor for the detection of bacteria. It is based on a chip with an innovative surface coating. This…
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen broke new ground by demonstrating that an HMG-box gene in brown algae is crucial for determining male sex. This breakthrough significantly…
In a first, LMU evolutionary biologists have identified a gene that influences visual preferences in tropical butterflies. Tropical Heliconius butterflies are well known for the bright colour patterns on their…
