Toxins and invasive amoebas found in marina seabed sediments

In recent years, special wash-down areas have been built in marinas to reduce the environmental problems caused by boat bottom paints. An analysis of Hinsholmskilen by the University of Gothenburg shows that the levels of ...

Light-activated molecular cages reveal RNA locations in cells

A new tool called PHOTON, developed by scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center, can identify RNA molecules at their native locations within cells—providing valuable clues to where different RNA species are distributed ...

Flowering plants use a pseudoenzyme to form indole

Plants produce an astonishing variety of chemical substances. Most of these metabolites are involved in chemical communication and serve to defend against pests, protect against pathogens, and attract beneficial organisms. ...
