Metabolism is one of the strongest drivers of interkingdom interactions-including those between microorganisms and their multicellular hosts. Traditionally thought to fuel energy requirements and ...

Geochemical data from MESSENGER have revealed details of Mercury's surface composition, showing that it differs from the other rocky planets in the inner solar system. For example, the planet's ...

The Visible Integral-field Replicable Unit Spectrograph (VIRUS) consists of 156 identical spectrographs (arrayed as 78 pairs) fed by 35,000 fibers, each 1.5 arcsec diameter, at the focus of the ...

We conducted high-pressure experiments on hexagonal close packed iron (hcp-Fe) in MgO, NaCl, and Ne pressure-transmitting media and found general agreement among the experimental data at 300K that ...

The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene product is mutated in the vast majority of human colorectal cancers. APC negatively regulates the WNT pathway by aiding in the degradation of beta-catenin, ...

Environments change, for both natural and anthropogenic reasons, which can threaten species persistence. Evolutionary adaptation is a potentially powerful mechanism to allow species to persist in ...

New work identified a protein needed for assembling the photosynthetic apparatus that may help us understand the history of photosynthesis back in the early days of life on Earth, a time when oxygen ...

A team of scientists performed the first-ever experiment that manipulated seawater chemistry in a natural coral reef community in order to determine the effect that excess carbon dioxide released by ...

Carnegie’s Department of Embryology scientist Steven Farber and team have been awarded a 5-year $3.3-million NIH grant to identify novel pharmaceuticals for combating a host of diseases associated ...

In a recent essay in Trends in Plant Science, Carnegie’s William Dwyer and Sue Rhee argue for the importance of anti-colonial language, as Western scientists develop an interest in regional crops that ...

New work hones in on one particular region of the zebrafish brain that could help us understand the circuitry underlying nicotine addiction. Baltimore, MD—In researching neural pathways, it helps to ...

The Drosophila Gateway™ Vector collection is a set of 68 Gateway-based vectors designed to express epitope-tagged proteins in Drosophila culture cells or flies. At its core is Invitrogen's Gateway™ ...
