阅读全文动物植物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.
阅读全文动物植物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
阅读全文动物植物A new study reveals the biological secret to the Zika virus's infectious success: Zika uses host cells' own "self-care" system of clearing away useless molecules to suppress the host proteins that the virus has employed to get into tho
阅读全文动物植物Humans were making tools from whale bones as far back as 20,000 years ago, according to a study conducted by scientists from the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), the French National Cen
阅读全文动物植物Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells.
阅读全文动物植物Coral reefs form a vital part of the marine ecosystem, playing host to diverse species and supporting multiple industries, including fisheries, tourism, and recreation. However, these fragile ecosystems are under increasing threat from climate change, wit
阅读全文动物植物A study published in Ecology Letters reveals that extreme drought conditions are altering the stability of grassland productivity by shifting underlying ecological mechanisms.
阅读全文动物植物In the tangled darkness of Southeast Asian mangrove forests, one crab species appears to have evolved a structure that functions like a miniature car headlamp. Researchers at the National University of Singapore have discovered that the facial bands of Pa
阅读全文动物植物Ever since a few enterprising bed bugs hopped off a bat and attached themselves to a Neanderthal walking out of a cave 60,000 years ago, bed bugs have enjoyed a thriving relationship with their human hosts.
