Here, we define a requirement for neural activity in mobilizing the antioxidant defenses of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans both during chronic oxidative stress and prior to its onset. We show ...

A new nanotube-based RNA delivery system boosts plant regeneration by switching off a molecule that blocks shoot growth, ...

This study presents useful findings on the molecular mechanisms driving female-to-male sex reversal in the ricefield eel (Monopterus albus) during aging, which would be of interest to biologists ...

With climate change and more frequent extreme weather events, researchers predict that global yields of important crops like maize, rice, and soybeans could decline by 12 to 20% by the end of the ...

Korean scientists may have uncovered a missing link in the biology of aging, potentially opening up a new horizon for unlocking the secret to prolonged youth.

Clinical depression is one of the world’s most common mental health conditions, but its underlying biology remains elusive. A ...

Tech billionaire investor Bill Gates was given approval to "secretly" spray synthetic RNA on food products in the United States through a company called Terrana Biosciences.

Researchers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center invented a new screening method called ReLiC that uses CRISPR-Cas9 to test all the genes that encode RNA-associated proteins at the same time on a batch of ...

A research team from National Taiwan University, Academia Sinica, and National Taiwan University Hospital has uncovered a critical connection between a unique RNA molecule and human aging ...

Unless one is a trained fighter jet pilot, or a Formula 1 driver, humans tend not to do well at higher gravity, but tiny green moss plants seem to thrive under such conditions.
