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 comparative study finds that total phenolics and total acids can serve as candidate chemical markers to distinguish Taxus cuspidata from Taxus × media when morphology fails.
Canadian researchers report that a single Oxford Nanopore whole-genome sequencing assay with adaptive sampling detected fusion genes, small variants, copy number changes and methylation classes in 36 pediatric cancer and control samples, matching standard clinical assays while delivering results within hours.
A comprehensive review maps how MRI protocols and antibody testing are reshaping the diagnosis of childhood demyelinating disorders, with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease emerging as a distinct entity.
Knocking out the wheat brassinosteroid biosynthesis gene DWARF4 produces an upright leaf canopy with only mild height reduction and no grain penalties, while DWARF1 knockouts cause severe dwarfing and smaller grains. Wheat Gene Knockouts Deliver Upright Leaves Without Yield Penalties Subject of…
A controlled tank experiment shows the RANDALLfoil blade attachment increased propulsive impulse by 9.01% and impulse efficiency by 4.91% at 1:4 scaled rowing motions by altering leading-edge vortex development and blade-vortex coupling. Perhaps the most scientifically interesting finding concerns the vortex dynamics. Changes…
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.
