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 ...
A research team has proposed a new approach to improve photosynthesis by replacing the enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxidase (RuBisCO) with phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC).
Timing of exposure to a high-fat diet appears to influence food preferences and weight gain in mice and may mirror behaviors seen in humans with disrupted circadian rhythms.
A new study finds that the timing of exposure to bright light can have a significant influence on postprandial (post-meal) glucose metabolism, thermoregulation, and energy expenditure during sleep in ...
In living organisms, the cell membrane plays a crucial role. It’s not just a protective barrier—it also senses the environment, helps transport molecules, and allows cells to adapt and change. This ...
Catalytic molecules can form metabolically active clusters by creating and following concentration gradients -- this is the result of a new study. Their model predicts the self-organization of ...
Many people have heard of the circadian rhythms or biological processes that follow a 24-hour cycle. Sleeping at night and being awake during the day is a well-known example of a circadian rhythm.
