Dictyostelium cells shown to lay 'breadcrumb trail' as first step in multicellular formation
When starved of their food source and then presented with a chemoattractant signal like cAMP, individual Dictyostelium cells acquire a polarized morphology and aggregate to form a migrating stream. View More (2008-12-01)
Study shows real partners are no match for ideal mate
The study, which was published this week (27 September 2010) in the Journal PLoS ONE, found that most men and women express different mating preferences for body morphology than the actual morphology of their partners and the discrepancies between real mates and fantasies were often larger for women than for men.

1 in 10 6- to 8-year-olds has sleep-disordered breathing
Approximately ten per cent of 6 year olds have sleep-disordered breathing, according to a recent Finnish study. View More (2012-12-17)
miR-205 can be responsible for breast cancer
Over the past couple of years research into miRNAs has become increasingly diversified and attracted a great number of research articles across genetics and medicine. View More (2012-12-27)
Besides body mass being taken into account in the fight against obesity, the amount of adipose tissue should also be considered, according to PhD thesis
Obesity is seen as the great pandemia of the XXI century. Recent data point to more than a billion adults in the world suffering from overweight, of which 300 million are clinically obese. View More (2011-01-03)
Nature reaches for the high-hanging fruit
In the first study of its kind, researchers have used tools of paleontology to gain new insights into the diversity of natural plant chemicals. View More (2011-08-17)
1 moose, 2 moose: Scientist seeks correction in number of species
It is a misinterpretation of the application of the bedrock of scientific naming with regard to the number of moose species that Kris Hundertmark, a University of Alaska Fairbanks wildlife geneticist at the Institute of Arctic Biology, seeks to correct. View More (2009-06-15)
Nanoparticle synthesis allows particle size and shape to be tailored to end applications
Nanomaterials are increasingly gaining the attention of not only the scientific community, but also the public due to their unique properties which endear them to new and exciting applications. View More (2005-11-30)
Evolution reveals an independent route for diversity in animal form
Researchers have found that Cnidaria, a group of marine animals noted for diverse morphology among its constituent species, actually lacks the ancient "Hox" gene system that is essential for the development of most other animals. View More (2006-05-05)
Kinetic variable most useful for identifying malignant MRI-detected breast lesions identified
Breast MRI allows physicians to evaluate suspicious lesions using a variety of variables. View More (2009-08-19)
Evaluation of microscopy techniques may help scientists to better understand ancient plants
In a paper published in PLoS ONE, scientists at the University of Illinois released their findings on what microscopy techniques are needed to identify the shape and texture of pollen grains. Understanding pollen morphology is important to classifying ancient vegetation. View More (2012-06-13)
DNA barcoding verified the discovery of a highly disconnected crane fly species
Northwestern Europe harbors one of the best known biotas, thanks to the long faunistic and floristic traditions practiced there. View More (2012-05-21)
'Different forms of flowers' continues to fascinate
Although Charles Darwin is most well-known both for his book "On the Origin of Species" and his theories on natural selection, he once stated, "I do not think anything in my scientific life has given me so much satisfaction as making out the meaning of the structure of these plants." What could be more satisfying than unraveling the mysteries of evolution? View More (2010-04-30)
New piece in the jigsaw puzzle of human origins
In an article in today's Nature, Uppsala researcher Martin Brazeau describes the skull and jaws of a fish that lived about 410 million years ago. The study may give important clues to the origin of jawed vertebrates, and thus ultimately our own evolution. View More (2009-01-16)
Gene expression in alligators suggests birds have 'thumbs'
The latest breakthrough in a 120 year-old debate on the evolution of the bird wing was published in the open-access journal PLoS ONE. View More (2008-10-06)
Virtual duck bills demonstrate species coexistence
Ecologists continue to debate how different species manage to coexist. If two species use identical resources, such as food, invariably one will be more efficient and out-compete the other. The classical explanation is that each species has evolved morphological or physiological traits that allow it to exploit some resources more efficiently than all other species.

Form or function? Evolution takes different paths
Biologists long have known that both the appearance of organisms and their inner workings are shaped by evolution. View More (2010-04-06)
LSU Professor Discovers How New Corals Species Form in the Ocean
Since the observations made by English naturalist Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands, researchers have been interested in how physical barriers, such as isolation on a particular island, can lead to the formation of new species through the process of natural selection. View More (2013-02-07)
Colas ensures noise doesn't break the sound barrier
Colas, the leading road construction and maintenance group, and its subsidiary, Somaro, a specialist in safety equipment and road signs and signals, in partnership with the Ecole Polytechnique, have developed a new type of noise barrier for roads with an unequalled level of sound absorption. Depending on the configuration, the barrier's performance is 30% to 50% greater than that of the most... View More (2004-03-10)
Separation between Neanderthal and Homo sapiens might have occurred 500,000 years earlier
The separation of Neardenthal and Homo sapiens might have occurred at least one million years ago, more than 500.000 years earlier than previously believed after DNA-based analyses. View More (2010-06-24)
