One hundred and seventy four smokers were assessed one week before giving up smoking and... view more... (2003-02-21)
Adaptive functional evolution of leptin in cold-adaptive pika family
Researchers at the Northwest Institute of Plateau Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences have put forward the viewpoint for the first time that adaptive functional evolution may occur in the leptin protein of the pika (Ochotona) family, a typical cold-adaptive mammal. view more (2008-01-23)
New study explains why hotter is better for insects
Organisms have been able to adapt to environments ranging from cold polar oceans to hot thermal vents.
