Duke-NUS scientists unveiled BrainSTEM, a revolutionary single-cell map that captures the full cellular diversity of the developing human brain. The project's focus on dopamine neurons provides crucial insight for Parkinson's treatment. Their ...

Scientists uncovered how the amino acid leucine enhances mitochondrial efficiency by preserving crucial proteins that drive energy production. By downregulating the protein SEL1L, leucine prevents unnecessary degradation and strengthens the cell's .. ...

Penn State scientists uncovered an ancient bacterial defense where dormant viral DNA helps bacteria fight new viral threats. The enzyme PinQ flips bacterial genes to create protective proteins that block infection. Understanding this mechanism could ...

Bamboo tissue paper, often marketed as an eco-friendly alternative, may not be as green as consumers think. Researchers at NC State University found that while bamboo fibers themselves are not more polluting than wood, China's coal-dependent energy . ...

UIC researchers predict that the Sahara Desert could see up to 75% more rain by the end of this century due to rising global temperatures. Using 40 climate models, the team found widespread precipitation increases across Africa, though some regions . ...

Astronomers observed a massive, multi-temperature plasma eruption from a young Sun-like star, revealing how early solar explosions could shape planets. These fierce events may have influenced the atmosphere and life-forming chemistry of the early ...

A team of scientists has developed a highly accurate blood test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The test reads tiny DNA patterns that reveal the biological signature of the illness. For millions who've faced doubt and misdiagnosis, it's a breakthrough ...

Disrupted sleep patterns in Alzheimer's disease may be more than a symptom--they could be a driving force. Researchers at Washington University found that the brain's circadian rhythms are thrown off in key cell types, changing when hundreds of genes ...

Scientists have discovered that a "longevity gene" found in people who live beyond 100 can reverse heart aging in models of Progeria, a devastating disease that causes children to age rapidly. By introducing this supercentenarian gene into Progeria . ...

On the Canary Islands, scientists discovered that the spider Dysdera tilosensis has halved its genome size in just a few million years--defying traditional evolutionary theories that predict larger, more repetitive genomes in island species. This ...
