A research team from the University of St Andrews and the University of Cologne has developed a new wireless light source that might one day make it possible to ‘illuminate’…
… using an evolutionary ‘copy-paste’ tactic. Plasmodium falciparum, a malaria parasite, uses gene conversion to produce genetic diversity in two surface protein genes targeted by the human immune system. By…
First-of-its-kind device ‘tags’ an organ to monitor abnormal, life-threatening fluid leaks. Researchers led by Northwestern University and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a new, first-of-its-kind…
An international team of researchers has investigated the question of whether the chemical defenses of plants changes when they have established themselves in new geographical regions. Greenhouse experiments with populations…
