Researchers at KU Leuven and Erasmus MC have discovered that cells can compensate for the loss of genes by increasing the activity of their remaining copy. Surprisingly, this balancing act does not […]
Oxford researchers have discovered that blood platelets do far more than help stop bleeding. They also collect and store fragments of DNA circulating in the bloodstream — including DNA released by cancer […]
UC Berkeley and Caltech researchers tracked down genes that help zebrafish regenerate injured heart muscle. Can CRISPR activate this circuit in humans with heart disease? Humans can’t regenerate heart muscle damaged by […]
The University of Oxford’s Department of Materials celebrated a new chapter in its microscopy facilities with the arrival of a bespoke £3 million Transmission Electron Microscope. The JEOL GrandARM300F instrument will support […]
Scientists at Imperial College London have discovered that astrocytes — brain cells once regarded largely as support cells — produce rhythmic chemical signals that help synchronise the brain’s master biological clock. The […]
The researchers have identified genes involved in hybrid incompatibility, a phenomenon that raises reproductive barriers between species and evolutionarily splits them apart. Stanford researchers have gained new insights into how the rise […]
A new analysis of the bones and muscles in ancient fish gives new clues about how the shoulder evolved in animals – including us. The shoulder girdle – the configuration of bones […]
In many parts of Africa, humans cooperate with a species of wax-eating bird called the greater honeyguide, Indicator indicator, which leads them to wild bees’ nests with a chattering call. By using specialised sounds […]
Agroup of scientists, including several at Harvard, have dived deeper into the mammalian brain than ever before by categorizing and mapping at the molecular level all of its thousands of different cell […]
The Future Leadership Institute celebrates the birthday of evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin: 12 February 1809 – 12 February 2024 Venue: BELGIUM: tbd (either ANTWERP, BRUGGES or LOUVAIN) Introduction: Our daily stress and […]
The family, wing length and wing colour of tropical butterflies all influence their ability to withstand rising temperatures, say a team led by ecologists at the University of Cambridge. The researchers believe […]
Two new studies describe path of divergent sensing capabilities, tracking lineage from common ancestral neurons Cephalopods such as octopus and squid evolutionarily diverged from mollusks like slugs and snails. These animals have […]

New research by the University of Oxford has found that hawks hunting swarming bats steer towards a fixed point in the swarm rather than targeting any one individual Swarms of bats, flocks […]
