Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer “wounds” in their protective layer, the cell membrane, every day and have to repair them again. Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer “wounds” in their protective…

New WWF-led research reveals that the vital benefits wildlife provides to people’s everyday lives are vastly underrepresented across science and policy discussions. This oversight could have detrimental consequences for achieving global conservation targets, explain the researchers. New WWF-led research reveals that the vital benefits wildlife provides to people’s everyday lives are vastly underrepresented across science and…

Ever since the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis was discovered 25 years ago, scientists have envisaged gene therapies to correct the underlying genetic defect. Ever since the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis was discovered 25 years ago, scientists have envisaged gene therapies to correct the underlying genetic defect. Bio & Medicine Phys.org – latest science and technology news…

A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from stem cells, and neural activation processes. This discovery lays the foundation for developing innovative therapeutic technologies. A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks…

Several years ago, the residents of a manufactured-home neighborhood in southeast suburban Houston, not far from the Buffalo Bayou, took a major step in dealing with climate problems: They bought the land under their homes. Then they installed better drainage and developed strategies to share expertise and tools for home repairs. The result? The neighborhood…

A large international team of researchers with a wide variety of backgrounds has found evidence that carbon storage below seaweed farms can accumulate as much carbon as some Blue Carbon habitats. In their study published in Nature Climate Change, the group analyzed data from multiple seaweed farms around the globe. A large international team of researchers…
