The study is one of the first to use quantitative measures and a systematic approach, with 24-hour video monitoring, to assess and compare foraging behavior of common backyard birds in yards in Phoenix, at the northern edge of the Sonoran Desert.
Ninety-six percent of a chimpanzee’s genome is the same as a human’s. It’s the other 4 percent, and the vast differences, that has intrigued researchers. For instance, why do humans have a high risk of cancer, even though chimps rarely develop the dise…
Scientists have discovered what may possibly be a key ingredient in the fight against Parkinson’s disease. Researchers have demonstrated that the nuclear receptor liver X receptor beta may play a role in the prevention and treatment of this progressive…
Using bioluminescent proteins from a jellyfish, a team of scientists has lit up the inside of a neuron, capturing spectacular video footage that shows the movement of proteins throughout the cell.
New research suggests learning how to stop enjoying unhealthy food sooner may play a pivotal role in combating America’s obesity problem. The research explores how satiation, defined as the drop in liking during repeated consumption, can be a positive …
With the Mars rover Curiosity’s successful landing Sunday, Aug. 5, at 10:32 p.m. PDT, U.S. Geological Survey scientists continue their strategic role in the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), the most advanced mission yet to explore whether the Red Planet …
In order to understand Earth’s earliest history — its formation from solar system material into the present-day layering of metal core and mantle, and crust — scientists look to meteorites. New research focuses on one particularly old type of meteori…
Mineral evolution posits that Earth’s near-surface mineral diversity gradually increased through an array of chemical and biological processes. A dozen different species in interstellar dust particles that formed the solar system have evolved to more t…
Stem cells isolated from fat are being considered as an option for treating tissue damage and diseases because of their accessibility and lack of rejection. New research shows that this is not as straightforward as previously believed, and that fat-der…
Squishy models are anything but child’s play as they help researchers understand the building-block nature of proteins.
A promising new drug target for the treatment and prevention of heart failure has been discovered.
Treatment with an agent that blocks the oxidation of an important component of the mitochondrial membrane prevented the secondary damage of severe traumatic brain injury and preserved function that would otherwise have been impaired, according to a res…
