The human body is a marvel of remake and renewal. We regularly replace some of our estimated 37 trillion cells – about 300 billion or 1 percent of our cells each day - with healthy substitutes. We remove damaged or aging, senescent cells and cellular debris from our organs and tissues every second of the day. How important is it that cellular waste be properly removed?

Soil organic carbon dynamics are a key indicator for assessing the success of ecosystem restoration. According to a new study by researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, soil microorganisms play a critical role in regulating carbon storage in tropical ecosystems undergoing recovery. The study, published in Catena on August 27, showed t

Researchers at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS) of the Faculty of Science have uncovered how mammary-gland cells decide when to activate Wnt4, a gene with a central role in mammary-gland development. Their findings reveal how distant stretches of non-coding DNA work together in three dimensions to control gene activity.

A CU Boulder mountain geographer explains how rising temperatures are destabilizing mountains and increasing the risk of landslides, glacial floods and other potentially catastrophic hazards around the world.
An international team co-led by the University of Cambridge has mapped every neuron in the male Drosophila fly’s brain and nerve cord, to produce a wiring map of the 166,700 neurons and the millions of connections between them.

Honey bees have long been the model species for studying insect vision. However, new research shows that several smaller bee species might actually have sharper eyesight.
Researchers at UC San Diego have demonstrated that one of biology’s most essential enzymes can accurately read and transcribe an expanded genetic alphabet containing eight DNA letters instead of the four used by all known life.

As it tries to defend itself from stroke, the brain can paradoxically trigger the formation of tiny new clots in minor blood vessels, damaging tissue even after the original culprit has been removed, new research shows. The findings help explain why nearly half of treated stroke patients don’t recover — and identify potential new treatments.
