Scientists trace the shocking origin of human eyes to an ancient “cyclops”
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (989+ words) Humans and every other vertebrate may share an astonishingly strange ancestor: a tiny creature with a single eye centered on the top of its head. Recent research from Lund University and the University of Sussex proposes that the earliest ancestor…...
New, holistic way to teach synthetic biology
2+ mon, 3+ week ago (369+ words) A paper detailing the framework was published yesterday (June 26) in the journal Nature Communications. Lucks is a professor of chemical and biological engineering at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering and co-director of the Center for Synthetic Biology (CSB). When genetic…...
A tiny ancient virus reveals secrets that could help fight superbugs
9+ mon, 3+ week ago (517+ words) A research effort led by Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka has generated an in-depth structural map of a bacteriophage, offering new insight into how these viruses could be used to counter drug-resistant bacteria. Lead author Dr. James Hodgkinson-Bean, who completed his PhD…...
Asteroid Bennu reveals a new pathway to life’s chemistry
7+ mon, 1+ day ago (631+ words) New research led by scientists at Penn State suggests that at least some of Bennu's amino acids may have originated in extremely cold, radioactive conditions during the earliest stages of the solar system. The findings were published on Feb. 9 in…...
A 25-year Crohn’s disease mystery finally cracked by AI
10+ mon, 1+ week ago (395+ words) Scientists at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have created a new method that combines artificial intelligence (AI) with cutting-edge molecular biology tools to uncover what determines whether a macrophage becomes inflammatory or restorative. Their research also…...
Scientists discover “molecular shredder” that helps deadly parasite evade the immune system
5+ mon, 1+ week ago (583+ words) To survive inside the human bloodstream, the African trypanosome parasite covers itself with a protective layer made of proteins called variant surface glycoproteins (VSG). A study published in Nature Microbiology has now identified a key protein that allows the parasite…...
Dragonflies can see a color humans can’t and it could change medicine
5+ mon, 3+ day ago (471+ words) Human vision relies on proteins in the eye called opsins. These proteins allow us to perceive different colors. We have three main types, each tuned to blue, green, or red wavelengths, which together enable full color vision. Dragonflies stand out…...
Scientists just discovered how octopuses really use their arms
1+ year, 3+ hour ago (361+ words) Octopuses are among the most neurologically complex invertebrates, famed for their extraordinary dexterity. Their eight arms allow them to capture hidden prey, communicate, explore, and even mate across varied habitats. Although octopus arms rank among some of the most flexible…...
