A study published in the journal 'Science Advances' has revealed a novel cold domesticated repair mechanism for DNA damage in rice, as well as corresponding elite modules for the improvement of the chilling tolerance trait in rice with codon repeats at a single site.
Published recently in the Journal of Neurophysiology, a study suggested that voice and face recognition are more closely linked than previously thought. It raises the intriguing possibility that information relevant to identifying someone feeds into a common brain centre, allowing for more r
A common fatty acid prevalent in the Western diet breaks down into chemicals that contribute to enhanced temperature and pain sensitivity in psoriatic lesions but not itch sensitivity.
In the neurons that our noses utilise to detect smell, scientists at Umea University in Sweden have found a previously unidentified cellular component called an organelle. The discovery may spur more studies into the COVID-19 symptom of poor smell perception.
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University discovered that biodiversity in large parks in urban environments can be influenced by smaller green areas nearby.
