This valuable research contributes to our understanding of marine plankton diversity and gene expression by employing robust methodologies for sample collection and analysis. However, it lacks a ...

A precancerous cell is a cell with certain abnormalities that makes it more likely to become cancerous. These abnormalities don't mean that it will become cancer—in fact, most don't—but the diagnosis ...

Countries are meeting in South Korea this week to hash out the final details of a global treaty aimed at eliminating plastic ...

We found that models were highly sensitive to the parameterization of phytoplankton minimum cell quotas for N and P, a finding that provides a critical link between nutrient-limited organismal growth ...

The world currently produces more than 50 million tonnes of “mismanaged” plastic waste each year, and some researchers project this flood of pollution into the environment will double by mid ...

This leads to the development of a phytoplankton bloom. Phytoplankton cells contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that affects the colour of oceanic surface waters. This can be detected from space ...

When tiny marine plants are exposed to mineral enriched dust blown into the sea from the land, they bloom over thousands of ...

For a very long time, we have been under the impression that memory and learning are solely the brain’s forte. Central to this belief is the fact that our brains, particularly our brain cells, store ...

Steve Gschmeissner / Science Photo Library via Getty Images Fat cells have a “memory” of obesity, which may help explain why it’s so difficult to maintain weight loss, according to a new ...

Around 95% of plants use C3 photosynthesis, in which mesophyll cells -- green spongy cells that live inside leaves -- turn light, water, and carbon dioxide into plant-powering sugars. Despite its ...
