In the modern world, the threat of diseases has been almost entirely vanquished. Due to the rapid development of the medical industry and pharmaceuticals, there are cures to treat most of these diseases. However, as we use more antibiotics to treat bacterial infections, the bacteria become more…
Have you ever seen the creatures deep underwater that can glow and produce their own light? These organisms are bioluminescent and produce their light through a chemical reaction. But not all creatures that glow are bioluminescent. These iridescent animals have a complex chemical process behind them that…
Introduction Why do humans age? What is cellular senescence? Why can’t we live forever? The answer lies deep in our internal code, the blueprint of life - DNA. DNA is a molecule that encodes within itself instructions for making other, more diverse molecules called proteins. Proteins run…
As we drove toward Durango, I watched the landscape blur, completely mesmerized by the tall trees. The air, rich with the wonderful scent of maple and woodsmoke, perfectly framed the brilliant colors of the maple leaves. That got me thinking about a recent article that I read…
Think about a starfish regrowing its fins, or a lizard regrowing its tail. These processes that occur in nature are at the heart of a quickly developing field of science: Regenerative Biology. Throughout history, innovative humans have looked to nature for inspiration. Learn how scientists are exploring…
We have all heard that it takes more muscles to frown than to smile. All we know for sure is that without the action of muscles, we could not frown, smile, or even swallow food on our own. We will be exploring a rare condition that affects…
Humans have been practicing medicine for thousands of years. Scientists have always wondered whether other animals use medicine too. Recently, ants have been found to have medical capabilities and advanced treatment mechanics, including surgery.
Are you one of the millions of people who adore animals but suffer from allergic reactions when around them? Unfortunately, around 10 to 20 percent of the world’s population is allergic to cats or dogs, so if you are, you are not alone. This does not…
