A round-up of recent discoveries in behavior research
Covering the life sciences inside and out
Researchers find that reducing mitochondrial protein production in some animals can increase lifespan by activating a protective stress response.
The essential nutrient can kill drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis by producing oxidative radicals that damage DNA.
Viruses that attack bacteria may be an important component of our gut microbiota.
The NIH has required researchers to receive instruction about responsible conduct for more than 20 years, but misconduct is still on the rise.
Should institutions invest in changing the behavior of scientists found guilty of violating research rules and ethics?
What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes
As telomeres shorten with age, genes as far as 1,000 kilobases away could be affected, including one responsible for an inherited muscle disease.
Researchers use a protein-lipid complex found in human breast milk to increase the activity of otherwise-ineffective antibiotics against drug-resistant pathogens.
Hybrid viruses derived from an H5N1 bird flu strain can infect guinea pigs through the air.
