阅读全文动物植物A recent study from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India has revealed new details about how our cells clean up and recycle waste. This process, known as autophagy, is like a self-cleaning mechanism for cells, helping the cells stay health
阅读全文动物植物Researchers from Tel Aviv University's School of Zoology have studied the behavior and movement of the common spur-winged lapwing and compared the habits of "urban lapwings" to those of their "rural" counterparts.
阅读全文动物植物Researchers at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine and the UF Health Cancer Center have identified a crucial link between a gene mutation and immune system signaling in canine hemangiosarcoma, a discovery that could lead to better tre
阅读全文动物植物In the United States, the most well-known skin-penetrating parasitic worm, called a nematode, is the hookworm. But globally, it is estimated that over 600 million people are infected with the skin-penetrating threadworm, also known as Strongyloides sterco
阅读全文动物植物DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell divides—whether to repair damaged tissue, replace old cells, or simply to help the body grow—DNA is copied to ensure the new cells carry
阅读全文动物植物New research has revealed the unique ecological role of coastal wetlands in the face of rising sea levels, capturing carbon, adjusting their soil elevation and protecting the coastline.
