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 ...

Marine snow sedimentation with flow field. Artistics rending of real imaging data collected across Gulf of Main using a rotating microscope. New Stanford-led research unveils a hidden factor that ...

Biochemist John Carson uses The Virtual Cell to compare experimental and simulation results. Biologists are generating a vast amount of data on the molecular events that occur in the cell. Since a ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

Artificially engineered biological processes, such as perception systems, remain an elusive target for organic electronics. A complete perception system built by designing other organic materials and ...

The cell organelles known as 'peroxisomes' dispose toxic substances and fats in the human body, among other things, and, in doing so, they prevent serious illnesses. The 'Pex' group of proteins ...

A team of researchers led by Professor Sebastian Deindl at Uppsala University has developed a pioneering method that vastly improves the ability to observe and analyze complex biological processes at ...

This might be the beginning of arterial calcifications. It is an elekron microscopy image of calcified material forming deposits. This is the first time it was possible to show a biological process ...
