Researchers have discovered how to modify the function of an enzyme crucial to fat production in fruit flies, which could lead to more effective treatments for cancer and childhood obesity in humans.
It's a startling image that describes a milestone in conservation science for sharks. Professor Shivji, Professor Michael Stanhope and their collaborators have glanced back in history by sequencing to chromosome level the genomes (entire genetic blueprint) of great hammerhead and shortfin ma
New research shows that glass frogs known for their highly transparent undersides and muscles perform their "disappearing acts" by stowing away nearly all of their red blood cells into their uniquely reflective livers.
The authorities in Sarthana Nature Park and Zoo in Surat have employed heaters and heating systems in the cages of animals including lions, tigers and deer to protect them from the low temperatures during the winter months.
A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded to external sensory stimuli. The implanted organoids reacted to visual stimuli in the same wa
Divyadarshini, a Madurai girl studying in Class 12 with a fearless nature and a love for animals, has kept a Jallikattu Bull as her friend and is training him for the sport.
For research, plants are frequently grown under stable lighting, which does not reflect natural conditions. In a series of experiments with changing light conditions, simulating the natural interplay of light and shadow, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology
