Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

There are "costs of life" that mechanical physics cannot calculate. A clear example is the energy required to keep specific ...

The ocean plays a crucial role in the storage of carbon dioxide (CO2). The so-called marine biological carbon pump is an important research topic in this context. However a key component is often ...

Schematic of a typical bioreactor. Key components include the reactor tank, agitation system, feeding pump, thermal jacket, submerged aerator, and sensor probes for monitoring and maintaining optimal ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. In Nijmegen, the world's first microscope has been installed that is ...

Scientists from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of California found that exposure to a mixture of synthetic chemicals found widely in the environment alters several critical biological ...

Biological age tests measure how fast your body is aging compared to your actual age. These tests rely on biomarkers tied to ...

Aging is inevitable as death and taxes but the rate we change varies a lot between individuals," Dr. Kuchel said.

While chronological age is easily measured, it fails to capture the complex biological processes that determine the rate of aging. A new proteomic aging clock may predict biological age, mortality ...

Impacts of biological amendments, including waste-derived amendments that underpin soil health and agricultural ...
