Armadillos have long been considered to be the only living mammals that produce protective bony plates. But a new study unexpectedly shows that African spiny mice produce the same structures beneath the skin of their tails, which until now had gone lar…
Scientists have determined how the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex helps cancer cells ‘remember’ how to be cancerous after division.
A research team has discovered that by manipulating a certain protein in the immune system they can slow down disease progression and improve muscle function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Researchers reveal how a nanomachine takes care of cleaning up inside the cell.
Seaside residents and holidaymakers have felt it for centuries, but scientists have only recently started to investigate possible health benefits of the coast. Using data from 15 countries, new research confirms public intuition: Living near, but espec…
Researchers developed an algorithm that can align two 3D shapes by mapping their volumes, which is more effective than other methods that align shapes by only mapping their surfaces.
Have you ever made a decision that, in hindsight, seemed irrational? A new study with mice, which could have implications for people, suggests that some decisions are, to a certain extent, beyond their control. Rather, the mice are hard-wired to make t…
A new study tracked the ability of natural, synthetic, and blended fabrics to biodegrade directly in the ocean.
Researchers at the University of Bath surveyed over 4,000 people to test social ability and found that being female and educated are some of the best predictors for how well you get on with and understand others.
