Like a human vaccine, defense priming occurs when part of a plant experiences stress. This weakly activates defense mechanisms that then fully come to life when the plant undergoes a real attack.
A new study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a critical role.
Researchers discovered that 14 "skinny genes" helped people drop twice as much weight when they ran for 30 minutes three times a week.
A research team led by researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has synthesized a new plutonium isotope, plutonium-227.
In a new paper, scientists have described two new species of birds that lived alongside T.rex dinosaurs 68 million years ago.
Researchers have discovered molecules capable of limiting the side effects of opioids by blocking the receptor responsible for their action.
