If you’ve ever bitten into a strawberry and wondered why it doesn’t taste as sweet or as good as others in the punnet, you could blame the fruit’s genetics. Two studies, published today in BMC Genomics…
One of Australia’s leading experts on cancer therapy at a molecular level is to receive a top research honour by the Australian Academy of Science. Professor Jerry Adams, from the Walter and Eliza Hall…
Plants respond to environmental stresses by activating a molecular alarm system according to research conducted by Iowa State…
What do bread, beer and botox have in common with this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine? More than you might think. But more on that in a minute. The 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine…
A new synthetic metabolic pathway has been created to more efficiently break down glucose, potentially leading to an increase…
Organic molecules never seen before in meteorites have been discovered by a team of Arizona State University scientists in…
Real-time, ultra-fast, high-resolution imaging has come a step closer. A team, led by researchers at the University of Melbourne…
We humans tend to consider ourselves apart from other species. But we’re not really so different. So what makes us unique? I’d say it’s language, though not everyone would agree. Some people insist it’s…
DNA has been called many things: the king of molecules, the blueprint of life, and less excitingly but perhaps more accurately, the genetic code. DNA’s double helix, discovered in 1953 by James Watson…
AEG - a small molecule that can link into chains, which has been synthesised and studied by the pharmaceutical industry…
The formation of memories may be found in the spatial and temporal relationship between molecules, and when they are active…
We humans use our large brains to make and store maps of our environment; maps we then use everyday for getting around and for recalling where we’ve been. But we are nothing special – many other animals…
Scientists have pinpointed the “stay green” DNA in barley that could be the key to developing crops better able to thrive…
An important cog in the molecular machinery of plant immunity discovered by researchers could help ensure food security…
We’ve known for a while that human cells “talk” to one another, but new research has found thy know when to shut up, too…
