Transcriptional adaptation found to play a role in inherited epigenetic changes

A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research discovered that transcriptional adaptation appears to play a role in inherited epigenetic changes. The researchers have collaborated with a colleague from Temple University. The researchers conducted mutant messenger (mRNA) degradation experiments...

Fish generate movable pairs of vortices to propel them forward like body waves

Fishes are unmatched when it comes to motion control and flexibility, swimming in complex underwater environments. Scientists have been inspired to copy nature's most gifted swimmers to optimize underwater vehicle propulsion and maneuverability. The relation between the movement of the tail, transient shapes and motion...

Biohybrid fish made from human cardiac cells swims like the heart beats

Harvard University researchers have developed the first fully autonomous biohybrid fish from human stem-cell derived cardiac muscle cells. The artificial fish recreates the muscle contractions of a pumping heart to swim. This brought researchers one step closer to develop a more complex artificial muscular...

Where are memories stored in the brain?

Neuroscientists have attempted to understand the physical changes related with memory formation. But visualizing synapses is challenging to do. As synapses are very small and tightly packed together. There are 10 billion times smaller than the smallest object MRI can visualize. There are 1 billion...
