Blind Tadpoles Learn Visually After Researchers Graft Eyes Onto Tails And Treat Them With Neurotransmitter Drugs
Blind tadpoles were able to process visual information from eyes grafted onto their tails after being treated with a small molecule neurotransmitter drug that augmented innervation, integration, and function of…
Hair Spacing Keeps Honeybees Clean During Pollination
With honeybee colony health wavering and researchers trying to find technological ways of pollinating plants in the future, a new Georgia Tech study has looked at how the insects do…
Scientists Hack A Human Cell And Reprogram It like A Computer
Cells are basically tiny computers: They send and receive inputs and output accordingly. If you chug a Frappuccino, your blood sugar spikes, and your pancreatic cells get the message. Output:…
Why Are Primates Big-Brained? Researchers’ Answer Is Food for Thought
Brain size in primates is predicted by diet, an analysis by a team of New York University anthropologists indicates. These results call into question “the social brain hypothesis,” which has…
Scientists Assemble Zika Virus Mosquito Genome From Scratch
A team spanning Baylor College of Medicine, Rice University, Texas Children’s Hospital and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard has developed a new way to sequence genomes, which can…
