Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division — called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea — marine protists that are close relatives of both animals and fung…

Researchers found that adding a newly developed modified sugar, BNAP-AEO, to gapmer antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) increased their affinity for target RNAs, thus significantly enhancing their gene-silencing effects in vitro and in vivo. The BNAP-AEO…

A new study demonstrates that kangaroos, wallabies and other Australian marsupials fear humans far more than any other predator.

Researcher leads a new clinical trial testing her flicker technology on patients with epilepsy.

Researchers have used computational design methods to develop non-metal organic porous framework materials, with potential applications in areas such as catalysis, water capture or hydrogen storage.

A new study shows that real-world ocean conditions make a huge difference in how viral infection affects host bacteria. The findings indicate it is very important to study cells and virocells under nutrient conditions that more closely resemble what th…
