Kale and broccoli microgreens grown in either windowsill or commercial growing conditions are rich in phytonutrients, though the levels of some compounds varies considerably between the two environments.

Until now, little was known about how cell division occurs in algae. Researchers have captured the very first high-resolution three-dimensional images of cell division in live cells of the microalga Volvox carteri, and have identified new cellular structures involved in the process.

Observations of airborne hydroxyl and hydroperoxyl radicals in South Korea indicate current models of ozone production are accurate, but further data is needed to understand radical reactivity.

A new, solar-powered process has been designed to cheaply desalinate seawater or brackish water, with the potential to also treat contaminated wastewater.

Lactic acid bacteria, essential for fermented foods, have be found to use a previously unknown energy metabolism, radically changing scientific understanding of their success.

A research team has discovered that human eggs are missing an important protein, which acts as a molecular motor, helping to stabilize the machinery that separates the chromosomes during cell division.

A new study looking at the presence of pharmaceuticals in the world’s rivers found concentrations at potentially toxic levels in more than a quarter of the locations studied.

Researchers at the University of Toronto have identified hundreds of new proteins that could play a role in cystic fibrosis, and which may shed light on why some patients respond better than others to current therapies.

A new study has found that in order to form organs, the back ends of moving cell groups push the group into place.

A molecular cage has been designed to surround cancer proteins and make them easier to visualize with cryo-electron microscopy, enabling insights into their structure previously not possible.
