To find out what happens when the brain gets too hot, researchers studied brain activity in newly hatched zebrafish larvae while gradually increasing the temperature.

Researchers have discovered how a gene called ACTMAP is involved in the maturation of actin, one of the main components of the cell skeleton.

Researchers have developed a new model that can determine variations in the speed at which bacterial genomes are copied.

Researchers have identified how oxidative breaks form and are repaired in what scientists thought to be "junk" DNA.

The cellular mechanisms controlling growth in yeast and humans are very similar, making designing antifungals difficult. However, researchers have recently identified a yeast protein that could spur the development of antifungals for humans.

In research using animal models, lung cancer growth was significantly increased by chronic circadian disruption.

A team of scientists coordinated by Uppsala University and Lund University has found strong links between certain bacteria living in the gut and small molecules found in the blood.

The genome of mammals' common ancestor has been computationally reconstructed by researchers, enabling scientists to interpret where and why selective pressures occurred in history.

Scientists have created a tool that can find safe places to introduce genes into human DNA. The tool is an early step in the process to improve the safety and efficacy of gene and cell therapies.

Researchers have honed in on the genes that control root growth in response to gravity, with the hope of developing a crop that can access resources deeper in the soil.
