阅读全文动物植物Decommissioned offshore structures offer limited long-term ecological benefits if they are simply left in the ocean to serve as artificial reefs, a new study suggests.
阅读全文动物植物There can be no analysis without data. In this spirit, researchers from the University of Bonn and the Swiss Federal Institution of Technology (ETH) Zurich have published a database containing over 6,000 agri-environmental policies, thus enabling their pe
阅读全文动物植物Messenger RNA (mRNA) made its big leap into the public limelight during the pandemic, thanks to its cornerstone role in several COVID-19 vaccines. But mRNAs, which are genetic sequences that instruct the body to produce proteins, are also being developed
阅读全文动物植物How was complex life able to develop on the inhospitable early Earth? At the beginning there must have been ribonucleic acid (RNA) to carry the first genetic information. To build up complexity in their sequences, these biomolecules need to release water.
阅读全文动物植物Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen have broken new ground by demonstrating that an HMG-box gene in brown algae is crucial for determining male sex. This breakthrough significantly expands our understanding of sex-determination
阅读全文动物植物New research from the Universities of Oxford and Exeter has revealed that plant species recommended as 'pollinator-friendly' in Europe begin flowering up to a month too late in the spring to effectively contribute to bee conservation. This 'hungry gap
阅读全文动物植物Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen and University of Southern Denmark have recently published FreeDTS—a shared software package designed to model and study biological membranes at the mesoscale—the scale "in between&quo
阅读全文动物植物Curly—or Karelian—birch is a mysterious tree with a patterned wood texture and a bizarre trunk shape. Unlike the elegant white-stemmed traditional birch, the Karelian one may seem unsightly at first glance: It is a low-growing, sinuous tree with bumps and
阅读全文动物植物Researchers at the University of Toronto and Sinai Health have created a new platform to identify proteins that can be co-opted to control the stability of other proteins—a new but largely unrealized approach to the treatment of disease.
阅读全文动物植物Researchers at McMaster University and Stanford University have invented a new generative artificial intelligence model that can design billions of new antibiotic molecules that are inexpensive and easy to build in the laboratory.
