Researchers at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) are closer to developing an oral vaccine for anthrax, thanks to a recent study showing an immune response in white-tailed deer......»»
Testing thousands of RNA enzymes helps find first "twister ribozyme" in mammals
The "RNA world" hypothesis proposes that the earliest life on Earth may have been based on RNA—a single-stranded molecule similar in many ways to DNA—like some modern viruses. This is because, like DNA, RNA can carry genetic information, but, lik.....»»
Scientists shed light on an arms race between barley and a fungal pathogen
Scientists from the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (IPB), together with partners from the University of Cologne, have discovered a new group of defense substances in barley that are effective against a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens. One.....»»
Metal Slug Tactics gives turn-based strategy a hyper-stylized shot of adrenaline
It's a little rogue-lite, it's a bit '90s arcade, and it's surprisingly deep. Metal Slug Tactics pushes hard on the boundaries of the vaunted run-and-gun arcade series. You can ru.....»»
New plant bug species discovered in French Polynesia
Seventeen new species of plant bugs—a group of insects with a strawlike mouth used to feed on plant and animal matter—have been identified on the islands of French Polynesia, and their names honor scientists, actors, and Vice President Kamala Har.....»»
Metal Slug Tactics is an arcade reimagining worth playing on Game Pass
Metal Slug Tactics reimagines SNK's classic arcade action game as a turn-based strategy game, but the conversion works surprisingly well......»»
New survey finds alarming tolerance for attacks on the press in US, particularly among white, Republican men
