Thus, regulation of stomatal development is essential for formation of a leaf suitable for prevailing environmental conditions and it also impacts plants resource allocation, CO2 uptake and water loss ...

This bioengineering breakthrough has found a way to make neurons grown in a dish react just like the real thing. "Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in ...

A pioneering study has uncovered the complex and dual roles of neutrophils in cancer development, demonstrating their ...
