Snake sex chromosomes say less about sex and more about survival
Sex-specific chromosomes are a dangerous place to be, if you're a gene. Because these chromosomes—Y chromosomes, in humans—do not have a matching chromosome with which to exchange genetic information, they are prone to losing non-essential genes.....»»
Double trouble at chromosome ends: New study alters our understanding of telomere biology
Half a century ago, scientists Jim Watson and Alexey Olovnikov independently realized that there was a problem with how our DNA gets copied. A quirk of linear DNA replication dictated that telomeres that protect the ends of chromosomes should have be.....»»
Nightingale’s most innovative feature defies survival game conventions
The developers behind Nightingale's world generating Realm Card system tell us how the innovative feature came to life......»»
AI helps provide the most complete map of interactions key to bacterial survival
UAB researchers have produced the most complete map of the bacterial essential interactome, that is, how proteins combine and interact to perform functions essential for their survival. The research, published in the journal eLife, used the artificia.....»»
Universal antivenom for lethal snake toxins developed by researchers
Scripps Research scientists have developed an antibody that can block the effects of lethal toxins in the venoms of a wide variety of snakes found throughout Africa, Asia and Australia......»»

Study finds new inhalable therapy is a big step forward in lung cancer research
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and has one of the lowest survival rates in the world. Cytokines, which are small signaling proteins, such as interleukin-12 (IL-12), have demonstrated considerable potential as robust tumor suppressors......»»
Group of united academics publish "scientists" warning" on climate and technology
Throughout human history, technologies have been used to make people's lives richer and more comfortable, but they have also contributed to a global crisis threatening Earth's climate, ecosystems, and even our own survival......»»
New insights in the regulation of genetic information exchange
Within every cell in our body, our DNA is tightly bundled with proteins to form structures known as chromosomes. The commonly known shape of a chromosome relates to an X-shaped appearance in many organisms. The formation of the X-shaped chromosome re.....»»
Tawny owl"s pale gray color linked to vital functions ensuring survival in extreme conditions
A recent genetic discovery has revealed that the pale gray plumage of the tawny owl is linked to crucial functions that aid the bird's survival in cold environments. As global temperatures rise, dark brown plumage is likely to become more common in t.....»»
Bizarre snake-like worm"s secrets revealed in CT scans
Amphisbaenians are strange creatures. Like worms with vertebrae, scales, a large central tooth and sometimes small forearms, these reptiles live underground, burrowing tunnels and preying on just about anything they encounter, not unlike a miniature.....»»
Nightingale is the right game for this survival crafting renaissance
Nightingale is launching at the perfect time, and its innovative Realm Card system could help it stand out from other survival crafting games......»»

Whole-infrared-band camouflage with dual-band radiative heat dissipation
Camouflage refers to the ability to reduce the signal captured by detectors, thereby improving survival rates. However, the combination of detectors operating in multiple spectral bands poses a significant challenge, necessitating the development of.....»»
New paper explains why females are prone to autoimmune diseases
A system that shuts down one of two X chromosomes is targeted by auto-antibodies. Enlarge (credit: Rost-9D) Eighty percent of patients with autoimmune diseases are female. These diseases are one of the top 10 leading ca.....»»
First atomic-scale "movie" of microtubules under construction, a key process for cell division
Cells in the human body are constantly dividing. With each division, the genetic information contained in the chromosomes is duplicated, and each daughter cell receives a complete copy of the genetic material. It is a sophisticated process, a clockwo.....»»
Gene expression influences 3D folding of chromosomes by altering structure of the DNA helix, finds study
A collaborative study by the UTokyo-KI LINK program, headed by Camilla Björkegren from Karolinska Institutet, Kristian Jeppsson and Katsuhiko Shirahige from The University of Tokyo shows that a protein complex named Smc5/6 binds DNA structures calle.....»»
How to increase inventory space in Enshrouded
The worst thing in any survival game like Enshrouded is running out of inventory space. Follow our advice and you can expand your backpack to carry everything......»»
Zebrafish usp3 loss found to promote hypoxic tolerance
Oxygen is an essential element for survival. Ocean warming, circadian rhythm, eutrophication, high-density aquaculture, power failures and long-distance live animal transportation can all lead to low oxygen levels in water. This reduction in oxygen c.....»»
Researchers discover molecular mechanism that influences the symmetrical shape of the style
Humans are attracted to symmetry: in our buildings, our gardens, in our potential partners. For plants, the symmetrical shapes of organs are a matter of survival because the form directly impacts the function......»»
