4Biology is a focused search engine built for biology students, researchers, educators, and lab managers. We combine multiple indexes, curated sources, and AI tools to surface publications, protocols, datasets, suppliers, and learning resources that matter to life scientists. Use the site to save time, find specialized resources, and get context-specific search results not optimized for general web traffic. Part of the 4SEARCH network of topic specific search engines.
A survey of 30,501 walnut trees across eight Central Anatolian provinces identified five Botryosphaeriaceae species associated with canker, twig dieback, and fruit rot, with Lasiodiplodia isolates showing the highest pathogenicity in inoculation tests.
An ISS isolate of Leifsonia virtsii carries a monoamine oxidase gene that lets it degrade dopamine, and metagenomic screening of seven years of station data reveals temporal enrichment of MAO-bearing actinomycetes, while the ammonium catabolite the bacterium produces alters cognition…
South Korean researchers report the first isolation of viable Orientia tsutsugamushi strains—Boryong, Kawasaki, and Yonchon—from field-collected trombiculid mites, using immunodeficient mice and L929 cell culture to establish stable, contaminant-free isolates.
Amplicon surveys across four dominant plant communities around Qinghai Lake reveal that Leymus secalinus soils harbor the richest primer-defined nosZ communities, that diversity and composition track partly different vegetation–soil variables, and that phylogeny-based null models point to variable selection…
Trinity College Dublin researchers found that Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins let tumour cells survive chemotherapy, enter premature senescence and recruit wound-healing immunity, while IAP antagonists selectively killed these senescent cells.
A secondary analysis of 769 Spanish adolescents found that isocalorically replacing animal-based protein, especially from red and processed meat, with plant-based protein was associated with higher grade point averages and subject-specific scores.
Researchers describe Vietpetalum, a new genus of cave-dwelling paracortinid millipedes from northern Vietnam, including two new species and COI DNA barcodes for the family.
A red-shifted fungal luciferase paired with a green reporter lets researchers measure gene activity in glowing plants by colour ratio rather than brightness, correcting for metabolic noise.
Texture, however, was only half of the challenge. Once the structural properties were established, the researchers turned to the question of taste. They used an electronic taste sensing system capable of detecting bitterness, astringency, umami and aftertastes in the extruded…
A case report describes a family carrying an inherited STAT5B variant of uncertain significance in which anemia developed only in the two members who also acquired somatic STAT3 variants, and both improved on sirolimus treatment. A single case report published in Annals…
