The research showed that chronic pain is controlled by an entirely separate system than acute pain

POSTECH develops a platform for precise cellular control using "non-genetic DNA" decoupled from genetic information.

Exposure to extreme heat conditions is resulting in more babies being born with low birth weight, according to a new study involving Adelaide University researchers.

Dog owners might struggle to recognize subtle signs of pain in their pets, with barely half of owners identifying symptoms such as nighttime restlessness and clinginess as likely indicating pain, in survey study

Snow leopards, leopards and wolves in the Himalayas coexist in the same space by choosing different prey, per new study examining the lives of these apex predators

A research team from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences evaluated the evolution of body size, skull shape, and respiratory traits using a novel dataset of 344 fossil species. The study focused on early-diverging land vertebrates from the Middle Devonian to the Early Permian.

As biologists know, nature can take its sweet time explaining itself. Andrew Gillis, associate scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), has been investigating how the paired fins of fishes evolved for nearly 20 years - ever since he was a PhD student with Neil Shubin at the University of Chicago. A new study from Gillis and the MBL-UChicago Graduate Research Fellowship Program doesn’t quite put the matter to rest – but it gives important insight to a broader question in evolutionary biology.

With the arrival of spring a few weeks ago, new buds and colours on the trees started to appear.

Along with that new growth, a UBC Okanagan researcher has determined that some trees in spring also provide simple, visual clues—raised or lowered branches—to indicate that they are rehydrating or water-stressed.
