A new study conducted at the University of Turku, Finland has highlighted that a certain species of snakehead fish feed their offspring with rare trophic eggs, a form of parental nutrient provisioning not common in fish. This behavior could have led the fish to adapt to new environments which lack suitable food.

Researchers from the University of Tsukuba find that the mirror image of an amino acid controls tissue pocket formation, which helps in the migration of tissue during tail regression in the juvenile-to-adult transformation of the marine sea squirt.

Bruker Corporation announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Philip Ma, Ph.D. to serve on its board, effective as of April 1, 2022.

Australian firm Seastock has been granted permission to commercially sell Asparagopsis, a native seaweed, for processing into a feed supplement which reduces methane by more than 90 percent from livestock.

In a first-of-its-kind study, research from the University of Vermont Cancer Center has linked phthalates, commonly called the “everywhere chemical,” to higher incidence of specific childhood cancers.

To prevent the extinction of the northern white rhino, the international consortium Bio Rescue is attempting to create artificial egg cells from stem cells. A team led by MDC’s Sebastian Diecke and Micha Drukker of Leiden University has now revealed in Scientific Reports that they are one step closer to achieving this goal.

Scientists from India and the UK along with astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Govt. of India have deciphered the science behind jets of plasma occurring all over the sun’s chromosphere. They have gone onto explain the origin of the jets also known as spicules on the Sun, using laboratory experiments as an analogy.

A team led by scientists at the University of Birmingham has come a step closer to uncovering the purpose of a distinctive set of modifications found at the beginning of messenger RNA which have long remained a fundamental mystery in molecular biology.

A team of researchers at ICFO and IrsiCaixa have developed a light-based device that uses a few drops of saliva to effectively test Covid-19 patients in less than half an hour. The low-cost, portable, non-invasive device has the potential to detect very low concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 with a sensitivity of 91.2 % and a specificity of 90 %.

Exposure to environmental pollutants such as fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and soot significantly increases the risk of suffering an ischaemic stroke. However, if green spaces are less than 300 meters away, the risk is 16 percent lower, a new study finds.
