Three DNA loops prove essential for efficient wing tissue regeneration in fruit flies

After an injury, DNA not only changes its activity but also the way it is organized spatially within the cell nucleus. In ...

Every animal, even the smallest rodent, deserves safe anesthesia, say researchers

AI models enable cross-species mapping of cell biology

Researchers at Stanford Medicine have developed two new artificial intelligence models of the biological cell. The first, called universal cell embedding, paved the way for a second-generation model ...

Magma repeatedly breaks and heals during eruptions, microscopic evidence suggests

Explosive volcanic eruptions can be as destructive as they are difficult to predict, launching pyroclasts—the fragments of magma and rock blasted from a volcano—into the air and surrounding areas.

Forest fire smoke reduces bird diversity, study suggests

When forests burn, the direct consequences are obvious: houses go up in flames and habitats are destroyed. The damage caused by smoke extending far beyond the fire area is less visible. Sarah Meier, ...
