New research from Karolinska Institutet shows how estrogen protects against MASLD, a fatty liver disease that has increased dramatically during the current obesity epidemic. The study, published in ...
Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling energy inside our cells. Yet a new line of research argues that protons in ...
The environment experienced by young zebrafish influences both the shape and electrical activity of the neurons in the eye, ...
Scientists have shown that evolution has been using the same genetic "cheat sheet" for over 120 million years, suggesting that life on Earth may be more predictable than first imagined. The ...
A microscopic image shows small red centers connected by networks of branched and straight filaments. The team mixed purified actin monomers with precise concentrations of two nucleation-promoting ...
Recent studies suggest that the steady rise in life expectancy observed over the past 200 years has now stagnated. Data indicate that a limit has been reached, and that medical and health care ...
Sunflowers famously turn their faces to follow the sun as it crosses the sky. But how do sunflowers "see" the sun to follow it? New work from plant biologists at the University of California, Davis, ...
Computational biology uses mathematical modeling, algorithms, simulation, statistics, and data science to understand biological systems and predict biological behavior. It includes sequence analysis, ...
