A new breakthrough study has shown how we could restore our cell’s functionality and tackle the unwanted effects of ageing
Ageing is a natural and an inevitable process because no living being is immune to it. Ageing is one of...
X-ray and radio observation of galaxy system Abell 2384 reveals collision of two galaxy clusters that travelled through each other forming a binodal system with a bridge of superhot gas between two cluster lobes and a bend in the...
The Nebra Sky Disk has inspired the logo of the space mission ‘Cosmic Kiss’. This space mission of the European Space Agency is the declaration of love for space.

Success in mapping the complete neural network of male and female worms is an important progress towards understanding function of the nervous system.
Our nervous system is an intricate connection of nerves and special cells called neurons which transmit signals...
Study highlights the key genes which can prevent motor function decline as an organism ages, for now in worms
Ageing is a natural and inevitable process for every organism in which there is a decline in function of many different...
A team involving the Austrian Academy of Sciences have presented a novel microstructural marker for malting in the archaeological record. In doing so, the researchers have also provided evidence of malting in later stone age central Europe. The development...
Studying the Neanderthal brain can reveal genetic modifications which caused Neanderthals to face extinction while made us humans as a unique long-surviving species
Neanderthals were a human species (called Neanderthal neanderthalensis) who evolved in Asia and Europe and coexisted for...
A novel artificial intelligence approach could help predict location of aftershocks following an earthquake
An earthquake is a phenomenon caused when rock underground in the Earth’s crust suddenly breaks around a geological fault line. This causes rapid release of energy...

Study describes a new mechanism which mediates the symbiont associations between plants and fungi. This opens up avenues to increase agricultural productivity in the future by growing better resilient crops that require less water, land and lesser use of...
Study shows gene editing technique to protect one’s descendants from inheritable diseases
A study published in Nature has shown for the first time that a human embryo can be corrected at a very early stage of embryonic development by a gene-editing (also...
In a bid to control the mosquito borne diseases, first genetically modified mosquitoes have been released in the United States in the state of Florida after a long arduous wait with respect to push back from people and the...
Brown fat is said to be “good". It is known that it plays an important role in thermogenesis and maintains body temperature when exposed to cold conditions. An increase in amount of BAT and/or its activation has been shown...
Astrobiology suggest that life is abundant in the universe and the primitive microbial life forms (beyond earth) could be found earlier than intelligent forms. The search for the extra-terrestrial life involves looking for biological signatures in the vicinity of...
