The study of plant flowering and developmental mechanisms has long been pivotal in understanding how plants synchronise their reproductive cycles with environmental cues. Recent advances have delved ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Mollusks exhibit diverse shell morphologies, such as those seen in bivalves (e.g., clams) and gastropods (e.g., snails). Understanding the mechanisms underlying shell formation requires ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Researchers published a new study, “Ongoing chromothripsis underpins osteosarcoma genome complexity and clonal evolution,” in Cell that they say solves the mystery of what drives the genomic ...

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

Researchers at the Department of Biochemistry, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), have uncovered a long-sought mechanism employed by primitive land plants such as bryophytes (including mosses and ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

New research has found that early childhood exposure to high ambient temperatures may hinder the development of foundational ...

For just a few hours, shimmering waves of calcium move through cells in the developing eyes of fruit flies. These spontaneous waves serve a purpose, enabling communication between cells and shaping ...

Sea anemones may hold the key to the ancient origins of body symmetry. A study from the University of Vienna shows they use a molecular mechanism known as BMP shuttling, once thought unique to ...
