A recent study on cell-cultivated fish has produced promising results that could put seafood back on the menu for the three to five percent of the global population with severe food allergies.

In living organisms, every protein—a type of biological polymer consisting of hundreds of amino acids—carries out specific functions, such as catalysis, molecule transport, or DNA repair. To perform these functions, they must fold up into specific shapes.

A research team led by the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW) was able to revive dormant stages of algae that sank to the bottom of the Baltic Sea almost 7,000 years ago. Despite thousands of years of inactivity in the sediment wit

In silico analysis of five industrial microorganisms identifies optimal strains and metabolic engineering strategies for producing 235 valuable chemicals.

Anthrax, an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, is often treatable in its early stages. But once the disease has progressed beyond the "point of no return" after just a few days, patients are almost certainly doomed.

As agricultural research continues to become more entwined with technology, smart farming—a phrase that encompasses research computing tools that help farmers to better address issues like crop disease, drought and sustainability—has quickly become a ubiq

A study published in the Journal of Applied Ecology shows that the Upper Paraguay River Basin, which includes the Pantanal and its surroundings, could lose almost all of the areas suitable for anuran amphibians (toads, frogs and tree frogs) by the end of

A research team led by Dr. Li Yunhai from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has uncovered a novel genetic mechanism that controls grain size and yield in rice, offering promising strategies to enh

Subalpine and boreal moorlands are ecosystems that contribute to climate stability by reducing excess carbon as well as acting to help regulate the climate—both invaluable properties in a time of advancing climate change. Therefore, understanding how to m

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential structures responsible for the photosynthesis that sustains life on Earth by producing oxygen and food.

Coral diseases, particularly in the Caribbean, have caused major declines in coral populations, especially affecting staghorn (Acropora cervicornis) and Elkhorn (A. palmata) corals, which play a crucial role in reef ecosystems.

A recently published article in the journal Weed Science demonstrates just how devastating Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) can be for furrow-irrigated rice production, even in small amounts. The findings show that successful, in-furrow rice productio
