How planarians can regenerate during periods of starvation
Planarians are able to survive long periods of starvation unscathed by maintaining their stem cell pool and regenerative capacity. The molecular processes behind this are not yet known. Jena researchers from the Leibniz Institute on Aging—Fritz Lip.....»»
Bioengineered hybrid muscle fiber for regenerative medicine
Scientists regenerate damaged muscle tissue using cell reprogramming technology and natural-synthetic hybrid scaffold......»»
Effects of past ice ages more widespread than previously thought
Cold temperatures, prevalent during glacial periods, had a significant impact on past and modern unglaciated landscapes across much of North America, according to a recent study by University of Arkansas geologist Jill A. Marshall......»»
The melting of large icebergs is a key stage in the evolution of ice ages
Antarctic iceberg melt could hold the key to the activation of a series of mechanisms that cause the Earth to suffer prolonged periods of global cooling, according to Francisco J. Jiménez-Espejo, a researcher at the Andalusian Earth Sciences Institu.....»»
Increasing temperatures will hit meat and milk production in East Africa
New research published in Nature Food warns that heat stress in animals caused by rising temperatures and humidity will occur more frequently and for longer periods, impacting milk and meat productivity for dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, goat, pig.....»»
Scientists Can Literally Become Allergic to Their Research
Researchers spend long periods of time around the organisms they study. Sometimes, that exposure has unintended—and potentially deadly—effects......»»
Unmatched dust storms raged over Western Europe during Ice age maximum
Every late winter and early spring, huge dust storms swirled across the bare and frozen landscapes of Europe during the coldest periods of the latest ice age. These paleo-tempests, which are seldom matched in our modern climate frequently covered Wes.....»»
Competition among human females likely contributed to concealed ovulation
Human females rely on aids like charting, test strips or wearable tech to identify periods of fertility. Some animals, like baboons, undergo obvious physical changes during ovulation. How did fertility become so hard to detect in humans?.....»»
Climate-related species extinction possibly mitigated by newly discovered effect
Changes in climate that occur over short periods of time influence biodiversity. For a realistic assessment of these effects, it is necessary to also consider previous temperature trends going far back into Earth's history. Researchers from the Unive.....»»
Jedox raises over $100M to expand its financial modeling and analytics software to more verticals
Organizations today — perhaps more than ever before — are relying on technology to help them figure out what the next weeks, months, and years will hold for their business at what has been one of the more tumultuous periods for our global.....»»
Researchers regenerate deactivated catalyst in methanol-to-olefins process
The MTO process, which was first commercialized in 2010, is a catalytic process converting methanol—which is typically made from coal, natural gas, biomass, and CO2—over a SAPO-34 zeolite catalyst. It's becoming one of the main streams for produc.....»»
Mass Die-Off of Birds in Southwest US "Probably Linked to Climate Crisis"
The Guardian reports: The mass die-off of thousands of songbirds in south-western U.S. was caused by long-term starvation, made worse by unseasonably cold weather probably linked to the climate crisis, scientists have said. Flycatchers, swallows a.....»»
Identifying where to reforest after wildfire
In the aftermath of megafires that devastated forests of the western United States, attention turns to whether forests will regenerate on their own or not. Forest managers can now look to a newly enhanced, predictive mapping tool to learn where fores.....»»
