动物植物栏目报道动植物科学研究与生物多样性保护动态，展现生命世界的科学之美。
动物植物In the depths of remote Antarctic lakes, communities of microorganisms are thriving where few life forms can survive. Scientists are studying structures formed by these communities to understand more about microscopic life in these extreme environments, w
阅读全文动物植物A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has discovered a new way that cells regulate senescence, an irreversible end to cell division. The findings, published in Cell, could one day lead to new interventions for a variety of conditions as
阅读全文动物植物A newly engineered type of soil can capture water out of thin air to keep plants hydrated and manage controlled release of fertilizer for a constant supply of nutrients.
阅读全文动物植物Researchers have published a new study in Information Fusion that demonstrates an improvement in the identification of human remains using craniofacial superimposition, making decision-making by forensic experts much more objective.
阅读全文动物植物Certain small, freshwater animals protect themselves from infections using antibiotic recipes "stolen" from bacteria, according to new research by a team from the University of Oxford, the University of Stirling and the Marine Biological Laborat
阅读全文动物植物Researchers have developed a strategy to identify new antimicrobial drugs with therapeutic promise from bacterial datasets, providing clues for discovering alternatives to traditional antibiotics.
阅读全文动物植物Researchers studying antimicrobial-resistant E. coli—the leading cause of human death due to antimicrobial resistance worldwide—have identified a mechanism in dogs that may render multiple antibiotic classes ineffective.
阅读全文动物植物In a study published in Nature Plants, scientists have identified the Eocene, Oligocene, and Miocene boundaries as turning points for the transition of survival strategies in the grape family (Vitaceae).
阅读全文动物植物The discovery of a hybrid population of poplar trees in western Wyoming has provided insight into how natural hybridization informs the evolution of many plant species, according to a team led by Penn State researchers. They also said their discovery sugg
阅读全文动物植物Amyloids are protein aggregates that can form in the body, sometimes leading to diseases such as Alzheimer's. These fibrils can adopt multiple shapes, known as "polymorphs," which complicate our understanding of their role in health and disease
阅读全文动物植物An international research collaboration has uncovered a new mechanism of the crosstalk between microtubules and actin cytoskeleton during cell division and revealed unique characteristics of the previously unexplored protein FAM110A.
阅读全文动物植物Budding new plant biology research is paving the potential to produce food crops that not only survive but thrive in salty conditions. With salt estimated to affect up to 30% of arable land worldwide—jeopardizing the survival of crops—the salinity crisis
