For The Better

The crocodilian edition of hemoglobins — the scuba tanks of the blood — work so well that crocs can go hours without air. The hyper-efficiency of that adaptation has led some biologists to wonder why, of all the jawed vertebrates, crocodilians were t…

OGT’s job of glycosylation is so important that embryonic cells will die without it. But until now, scientists were in the dark as to why.

Combining satellite technology with machine learning may allow scientists to better track and prepare for climate-induced natural hazards, according to new research.

Something is amiss in the Butterfly Nebula. When astronomers compared two exposures of this planetary nebula that had been taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2009 and 2020, they saw dramatic changes in the material within its ‘wings.’ Powerful wind…

Researchers have recently identified an immune evasion gene that is turned on in some of these cells, and they found that silencing the gene enhanced the cells’ susceptibility to immunotherapy.
