A team in Taiwan has engineered a new way for plants to absorb and use carbon dioxide, potentially reshaping the fight against climate change. By inserting an extra biochemical cycle into a model ...

Two laboratories at Penn State set out to show how an obscure undersea microbe metabolizes carbon monoxide into methane and vinegar. What they found was not merely a previously unknown biochemical ...

Few living things seem to have less in common than plants and animals, but that assumption is being increasingly challenged. Evolution, and the ways in which the kingdom of plants and the kingdom of ...

Researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University have discovered how the balance of bacteria in the stomach affects the growth of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). By identifying the specific bacteria ...
