Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and Kiel University (CAU) led by Professor Sebastian Fraune use the example of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis to investigate the ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up biochemical reactions (catalysis) in cells—have adapted to the habitats of ...

Evolution is traditionally associated with a process of increasing complexity and gaining new genes. However, the explosion of the genomic era shows that gene loss and simplification is a much more ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists at Trinity College Dublin have identified a "universal thermal performance curve" ...

They found that this rapid adaptation primarily relates to stress response mechanisms, immune defense, and homeostasis, ...

The light of someone's life might not be just another person, but light in the literal sense. According to a recent study by researchers from University of Calgary, every living system emits light ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured “ultraweak” photon emissions from living organisms. In rats this glow fades rapidly after death. In plants it brightens under stress. In the ...
