In order to defy climate change and the bark beetle, more deciduous trees are being planted in Swiss forests. If possible, their wood should be used several times before it ends up as firewood, thus […]

Oxford University researchers have made a significant step toward realizing a form of “biological electricity” that could be used in a variety of bioengineering and biomedical applications, including communication with living human cells. The work […]

Understanding cellular heterogeneity is essential for deciphering the complexities of cellular subpopulations, differentiation processes, and microenvironmental influences. Single-cell proteomics plays a crucial role in explaining this complexity, but traditional techniques face significant challenges, particularly regarding […]

Researchers led by Dr. Imen Nouioui and Prof. Dr. Yvonne Mast from the Department Bioresources for Bioeconomy and Health Research at the Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH have characterized 28 […]

In a first-of-its-kind breakthrough, a team of UBC Okanagan researchers has developed an artificial adhesion system that closely mimics natural biological interactions.This article was originally published here

With growing concerns over climate change and overpopulation, we urgently need to boost agricultural productivity. With the goal of creating a way to easily tell whether a plant is thriving or dying, a leaf-mounted sensor […]

Cells can now be genetically programmed to record their histories within their genomes, a development that could revolutionize the study of developmental and disease processes, according to a collaborative work by researchers from multiple institutions […]

A pioneering study has revealed significant improvements in coral health through an innovative approach of transplanting healthy reef ecosystems to damaged reefs. The study offers new hope for coral reef restoration and the fight against […]

Gene editing could create hypoallergenic cats, according to a sequence analysis of the protein that triggers allergies to cats. Some 15% of people are allergic to cats, and symptoms can be severe. Martin D. Chapman […]

When you think of electric fields, you likely think of electricity—the stuff that makes modern life possible by powering everything from household appliances to cellphones. Researchers have been studying the principles of electricity since the […]
