Study uses cancer cells as logic gates to find out what makes them move
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Cancer cells migrate through the body for a variety of reasons; some simply follow the flow of a fluid, while others actively follow chemical trails. So, how do you figure out which cells are shifting and why? Researchers at Purdue University reverse-engineered a cellular signal processing s

Flower patterns boost bumblebee efficiency: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Many flowers, whether mallow, foxglove, or forget-me-not, feature vibrant patterns that are known in biology as nectar cues. They are thought to direct pollinating insects to the nectary as quickly as possible. This guiding activity could boost the insects' capacity to find food, which would

Key aspect of finely tuned regulation of gene expression revealed: Researc
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Even though they both develop in the same person and share the same genes, skin cells and brain cells are clearly distinct. They differ because each cell type expresses a unique set of genes that are distinct from those expressed by the other. This is made possible by cellular mechanisms tha
