In a pond, more amphibian species mean decreased chances of disease spread.
A new faster-switching, longer-lasting GFP allows gentler and faster high resolution microscopy on living cells.
A study suggests that some mouse models do not accurately mimic human molecular mechanisms of inflammatory response, but other mouse strains may fare better.
Protein aggregates in the brains of some people with dementia or motor neuron disease have a surprising origin.
New amphibian species are being discovered at an exciting rate, yet they are also the vertebrates most at risk of extinction.
Researchers take advantage of a diamond’s atomic flaw to devise a sensor that may one day snap images of individual molecules.
A putative ion channel integral to mammalian hearing turns out to be an elusive salt-sensing chemoreceptor in nematode worms.
A proposal to simulate all of Earth’s ecosystems is exposing a rift between small and big ecology.
The majority of human melanomas contain mutations in a gene promoter, suggesting mutations in regulatory regions may spur some cancers.
