Within the animal kingdom, a naturally produced molecule known as itaconate serves a prominent role in the immune system as a defensive agent against viruses and inflammation. Itaconate is classified as a metabolite, a natural compound that arises when or

Chagas disease is often called a silent killer because many people don't realize they have it until complications from the infection kill them.

Blood vessels are like big-city highways; full of curves, branches, merges, and congestion. Yet for years, lab models replicated vessels like straight, simple roads.

Recently, a research team has successfully elucidated the stage-specific roles of plant hormones, particularly exogenous trans-zeatin (tZ), in regulating axillary bud development in Eucommia ulmoides, a high-value economic crop.

A recent study explores the potential of germinated flours as functional ingredients in breadmaking, highlighting both their nutritional benefits and their technological challenges.

When left out on the counter for too long, a loaf of bread grows mold. That mold is a common type of filamentous fungi, a microorganism that grows in thread-like structures that can ruin baked goods.

Scientists are using isotopes to answer a surprising variety of questions about the world, according to University of Cincinnati Professor Brooke Crowley.

Locusts have undersized babies—with their first lunch already in their guts—in dry conditions. Desert locusts have two distinct modes—solitary and gregarious—that are behaviorally and visibly different. The insects also live in the Sahara desert, an envir

Changes to a pest's diet could slow the evolution of resistance to biopesticides, according to research from University of Stirling scientists.

Can goats help each other? A new study by the Research Institute of Farm Animal Biology (FBN) in Dummerstorf in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna suggests that goats exhibit prosocial behavior—i.e. they are wi

Researchers have developed a machine learning model called DreaMS, which significantly accelerates the analysis of previously unknown molecules. The study is published in Nature Biotechnology.

Researchers have found evidence of a previously unrecognized soft tissue structure in the cheek region of many dinosaur species, which they've called the "exoparia." The finding deepens our understanding of dinosaur anatomy and highlights t
