Mono Lake, nestled in California’s Eastern Sierra Nevada, is a haven for unique life forms. Its iconic tufa formations and thriving populations of brine shrimp and alkali flies showcase an ecosystem ...

Aspirin triggers BacID (turquoise) to express flagella (turquoise lines), invade into cancer cells (dotted outline) and deliver the therapy intracellularly (green). A University of Massachusetts ...

Most animals, including humans, have bilateral symmetry, which means our bodies are pretty symmetrical. At least on the ...

Scientists have uncovered a key mechanism in jellyfish embryos that provides new insights into how the body plan of these ...

This internal left-right asymmetry is believed to begin at the very early stage of development -- when a tiny embryo is divided into two parts during a process called gastrulation. This process ...

A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation ...

In one striking experiment, they showed that applying a device for topical cooling -- a "glorified icepack" -- to an animal model could trigger cancer cell death, without the systemic toxicity of ...

UMD researchers uncover key mechanisms in gene regulation that may lead to better design of RNA-based medicines.

Some owners fled with their pets, but a network of facilities in the Los Angeles area is straining to care for the hundreds of animals left behind. By Callie Holtermann Follow continuing coverage ...
