| Enormous 'superflare' detected on nearby star Posted: 09 Jul 2020 08:35 AM PDT Astronomers succeeded in detecting 12 stellar flare phenomena on AD Leonis. One of these flares was 20 times larger than those emitted by our own sun, categorizing it a 'superflare'. Subsequent data analysis presents new insight into these explosive phenomena. |
| Born to be a cannibal: Genes for feeding behavior in mandarin fish identified Posted: 09 Jul 2020 08:35 AM PDT Some mandarin fish species (Sinipercidae) are pure fish-eaters, which feed exclusively on living juvenile fish - also of their own species. A research team has described the genome of four mandarin fish species and thus also identified genes for cannibalistic eating behavior. Knowledge of the connections between the genome and feeding behavior is of interest for sustainable aquaculture. |
| Glowing worms provide live-action movies of the body's internal scaffolding Posted: 08 Jul 2020 07:59 AM PDT Researchers have made the first time-lapse movies of the sheet-like mesh that surrounds and supports most animal tissues. While the thin layer of extracellular matrix known as the basement membrane plays key roles in development and disease, visualizing it in living organisms has been difficult to do. The team says their work offers a new way to study basement membrane defects underlying aging, and diseases ranging from cancer to diabetes. |
