| Posted: 08 Jul 2022 01:27 PM PDT A new universal flu vaccine protects against influenza B viruses, offering broad defense against different strains and improved immune protection, according to a new study. |
| Swans sacrifice rest to squabble Posted: 08 Jul 2022 11:15 AM PDT Swans give up resting time to fight over the best feeding spots, new research shows. |
| A 'wise counsel' for synthetic biology Posted: 08 Jul 2022 09:36 AM PDT Researchers develop user-friendly software system to optimize biological systems. |
| Immune system uses two-step verification to defend against HIV Posted: 08 Jul 2022 09:36 AM PDT A discovery could offer new methods for treating HIV, while uncovering the innate immune system's role in other diseases. |
| Major step forward in fabricating an artificial heart, fit for a human Posted: 08 Jul 2022 09:36 AM PDT Bioengineers have developed the first biohybrid model of human ventricles with helically aligned beating cardiac cells, and have shown that muscle alignment does, in fact, dramatically increases how much blood the ventricle can pump with each contraction. |
| Hidden in plain sight: Seven showy tropical forest ferns described as new to science Posted: 08 Jul 2022 06:57 AM PDT Researchers have described seven new fern species from the rainforests of tropical America. Many of the species were uncovered as the by-product of ecological research: the species diversity in tropical forests is still so poorly known that field trips and herbarium work keep discovering previously unknown species. |
| Narwhals show physiological disruption in response to seismic survey ship noise Posted: 08 Jul 2022 06:56 AM PDT The reaction of narwhals to the loud noise from seismic air guns used in oil exploration involves a disruption of the normal physiological response to intense exercise as the animals try to escape the noise. The overall effect is a large increase in the energetic cost of diving while a paradoxically reduced heart rate alters the circulation of blood and oxygen. |
| Genetically-enhanced biocontrols can help fight large invasive mammals, study finds Posted: 08 Jul 2022 06:56 AM PDT Genome engineering using CRISPR offers novel solutions for controlling invasive alien species, but its efficiency for eradicating harmful vertebrates is yet to be tested. In a new study, researchers confirm that genetic biocontrols could rapidly eradicate animals like rats, mice and rabbits. Others -- like cats and foxes -- would, however, take a lot longer. |
| Scientists discover key genes behind insect migrations Posted: 08 Jul 2022 06:56 AM PDT Scientists have identified more than 1,500 genetic differences between migratory and non-migratory hoverflies. |
| Long term high-fat diet expands waistline and shrinks brain Posted: 07 Jul 2022 07:40 PM PDT New research shows that fatty foods may not only be adding to your waistline but may also be aggravating Alzheimer's disease, and causing depression and anxiety. |
| Molecules boosting plant immunity identified Posted: 07 Jul 2022 02:19 PM PDT Researchers have discovered natural cellular molecules that drive critical plant immune responses. These compounds have all the hallmarks of being small messengers tailored by plants to turn on key defense-control hubs. Harnessing these insights may allow scientists and plant breeders to design molecules that make plants, including many important crop species, more resistant to disease. |
| Carbon conservation efforts would be enhanced by highlighting threatened forest primates Posted: 07 Jul 2022 02:18 PM PDT Efforts to conserve the carbon stored in tropical forests would be enhanced by linking the work to the charismatic, threatened primates that live there, researchers say in a new paper. |
| Balancing protein in your diet could improve water quality Posted: 07 Jul 2022 02:18 PM PDT Balancing how much protein you eat with the amount your body needs could reduce nitrogen releases to aquatic systems in the U.S., a new study found. |
| New research finds deep-sea mining noise pollution will stretch hundreds of miles Posted: 07 Jul 2022 11:21 AM PDT New research examines the potential for underwater noise pollution from seabed mining operations, which could affect the understudied species that live in the deep sea -- the largest habitat on Earth. |
| Scientists hijack bacteria to ease drug manufacturing Posted: 07 Jul 2022 11:18 AM PDT For more affordable, sustainable drug options than we have today, the medication we take to treat high blood pressure, pain or memory loss may one day come from engineered bacteria, cultured in a vat like yogurt. And thanks to a new bacterial tool, the process of improving drug manufacturing in bacterial cells may be coming sooner than we thought. |
| Historical dataset could help scientists better understand sharks Posted: 06 Jul 2022 10:33 AM PDT For the first time, the longest-running historical record of human-shark interactions in Australia is now accessible online. This follows a growing trend to make scientific datasets accessible, maximizing the use and impact of the data. |
| How a shape-shifting receptor influences cell growth Posted: 06 Jul 2022 05:54 AM PDT Chemists discovered how the epidermal growth factor receptor changes its shape when it binds to its target, and how those changes trigger cells to grow and proliferate. |
