A recent study uncovers how gut bacteria and the body balance bile acids, influencing cholesterol and fat metabolism, with a potential impact on a range of diseases.
Research explores how gut bacteria team up with the host body to regulate bile acids, essential molecules that control digestion, cholesterol levels, and fat metabolism.
New research reveals insights into the genetic blueprints of hornworts, uncovering fascinating details about plant evolution and the early days of life on land.
Scientists have long sought ways to help plants turn more carbon dioxide (CO₂) into biomass, which could boost crop yields. A group of unique, often overlooked plants called hornworts may hold the ...
This study not only deepens our understanding of the molecular dynamics behind plant-AM fungal symbiosis but also highlights the intricate and often unseen connections that sustain life on our planet.
Sometimes, the key to life’s biggest mysteries lies in its tiniest inhabitants. A new study of microscopic worms could hold profound implications for the understanding and treatment of a myriad of ...
An international team of researchers has uncovered an unusual genetic phenomenon in lycophytes, revealing their remarkably slow pace of genomic evolution.
"By unraveling the roles of helper NLRs like Nrc2 and Nrc3, we are a step closer to developing crops that can better withstand the challenges posed by pathogens, helping ensure food security and ag...
In a significant advancement in the field of biochemistry, BTI scientists have uncovered new insights into a family of metabolites, acylspermidines, that could change how we understand aging and fi...
Killing crop-damaging insects by targeting essential genes is a promising approach to pest control. A team led by Georg Jander of Boyce Thompson Institute has identified horizontally transferred ge...
