Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic "barcode," they have been able to follow the cells' developmental j

Insects are the dominant form of animal life on our planet, providing humans and wildlife with pollination, food, and recycling services but, despite concerns about population declines, little is known about how 99% of species globally are faring.

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed the first-ever method of detecting ribonucleic acid, or RNA, inside plant cells using a technique that results in a visible fluorescent signal. The technology can help researchers detect and track

Antibiotic resistance tends to stabilize over time, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS Pathogens by Sonja Lehtinen from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, and colleagues.

Our environment is changing rapidly, largely as a result of human activities, leading to a significant decline in biodiversity. According to researchers from the University of Victoria and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, this decli

Microbial organisms dominate life on Earth, but tracing their early history and evolution is difficult because they rarely fossilize. Determining when exactly a particular group of microbes first appeared is especially hard. However, ancient sediments and

Bonobos—our closest living relatives—create complex and meaningful combinations of calls resembling the word combinations of humans.

The gene encoding an enzyme from a firefly, discovered at the Sorocaba campus of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in Brazil, has given rise to a biosensor capable of detecting pH changes in mammalian cells—which could be useful, for example,

Fusarium oxysporum is a soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes a group of serious plant diseases known as Fusarium wilts. As one of the most economically important plant pathogens worldwide, it can infect hundreds of species—including major crops like tom

A genomic study of hydrogen-producing bacteria has revealed entirely new gene clusters capable of producing large volumes of hydrogen.

New research from the University of Minnesota upends long-held understanding about how wolves, bears and cougars—three of Yellowstone National Park's most iconic carnivores—compete for prey.

A group of researchers, including Harrisburg University of Science and Technology (HU) Professor Dr. Steven Jasinski, has published a study on fossil carnivoran mammals from the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains in northern India.
