An international team of scientists led by the Doñana Biological Station (EBD-CSIC) has described a new species of fossilized ...

Unusual for animals from a biological point of view, female mountain gorillas often live many years after last giving birth - just like people. This may be to care for their young, according to ...

Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Studies, Vol. 4, No. 2 (December 2017), pp. 88-95 (8 pages) Identity is the essence of performance and performance is the essence of identity. Without identity our ...

In a paper published in PNAS, a University of Michigan team proposes that fundamental principles of control theory and observability can be applied to study biological processes that change over time.

In the continuing quest to find the cause of aging and a pathway to slow or even reverse it, a recent study out of the UC San Diego School of Medicine in La Jolla has linked two leading theories. In ...

Using patient data from several banks of genomics data, researchers at UC San Diego were able to make similar predictions of aging using either mutations or epigenetic modifications. Their results ...

Maintaining homeostasis is a fundamental characteristic of living systems. In cells, this is contributed to by the assembly of biochemically distinct organelles, many of which are not membrane bound ...

Theoretical chemists have developed a theory that can predict the threshold at which quantum dynamics switches from 'orderly' to 'random,' as shown through research using large-scale computations on ...
