Dragonflies can see a color humans can’t and it could change medicine
5+ mon, 4+ 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…...
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…...
Scientists discover “molecular shredder” that helps deadly parasite evade the immune system

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…...
A hidden mechanism changes what we know about cell division
9+ mon, 3+ day ago (827+ words) A companion study showed that centromeres, small structures on chromosomes once believed to work on their own, play a guiding role in directing CENP-E so it can help the division process unfold correctly. Together, these results overturn two decades of…...
Tiny protein pairs may hold the secret to life’s origin
11+ mon, 3+ week ago (556+ words) Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way it is? A recent study from the…...
A hidden gene could triple wheat yields
10+ mon, 3+ week ago (231+ words) Researchers at the University of Maryland have identified the gene responsible for a rare type of wheat that forms three ovaries in each flower instead of just one. Because each ovary can grow into a grain, this finding could help…...
Asteroid Bennu reveals a new pathway to life’s chemistry
7+ mon, 2+ 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…...
Life on Mars? Tiny cells just survived shock waves and toxic soil
5+ mon, 1+ day ago (437+ words) To better understand whether life could endure such conditions, scientists are turning to simple organisms on Earth. Why Scientists Study Yeast to Understand Survival Two key types of RNP condensates are stress granules and P-bodies. Both play roles in managing…...
