The way plant roots grow turns out to be surprisingly well described by a new computer model. The model could help to cultivate crops that require less fertilisation, pesticides, and watering.
For the first time, researchers have visualised the ‘molecular postman’ that makes sure many important proteins can be delivered to the outside of cells.
Extraordinary detailed analysis has uncovered key cell elements that support sperm motion and rigidity. The discovery may lead to new directions for treating male infertility and developing male contraceptives.
Within just a few generations, bacteria on plants can adapt from harmful to beneficial. This discovery could pave the way for developing special bacterial crop fertilizers.
Vitamin K packed in tiny spheres may help prevent severe bleeding in babies. Researchers have now taken an important step in developing this method, bringing an alternative to injections with vitamin K closer to reality.
A new study is the first to explicitly address the gut microbiome as a pathway to understanding how environmental inequities could lead to health disparities.
A 7.5 million euro grant allows researchers to lay the foundations for 'upgrading' plant material into a form that is just as tasty and nutritious as meat.
