The protein, apolipoprotein L3, destroys invading microbes by acting as a detergent in the cytosol.

Automated control of light-responsive nematode worms marks the first foray into the development of multicellular, biorobotic organisms.

The masks contain freeze-dried, cell-free biosensors, enabling them to detect pathogens including SARS-CoV-2.

Brood X’s emergence tunnels—numbering in the hundreds per square meter of soil—give researchers a special opportunity to study how such extreme soil aeration affects the ecosystem.

A detailed analysis of cryptochrome 4 shows that the protein is highly sensitive to magnetic fields in vitro, but some researchers dispute the authors’ assertion that the findings could help explain avian magnetoreception.

The material turns bright pink when it comes in contact with an enzyme produced by the fungus Candida albicans.

Researchers find a widespread decline in dissolved oxygen levels in lakes, which is known to reshape ecosystems.

The Scientist Social Club talked with the author.

TMAO appears to both stabilize other plant proteins and influence the expression of stress-response genes, researchers report.

Countries outside the US and Europe that are already used to long wait times for laboratory supplies are facing greater research disruptions than ever during the pandemic.

Prior to a 2019 preprint, “glycoRNAs” weren’t known to exist. Now, the researchers who found them say they’re on lots of cells and may play a role in immune signaling.

Researchers find that SARS-CoV-2 variants can evade primer-probe sets and recommend that diagnostic assays include multiple targets for reliability.

Researchers integrated information from 45 protein, metabolite, and immune data points to identify a window two to four weeks before a pregnant person will go into labor.
