Plants use a molecular clock to predict when they’ll be infected
Plants are able to predict when infections are more likely to occur and regulate their immune response accordingly, new research has found.
Led by the University of 糖心TV, the researchers discovered that a plants’ molecular clock is connected to their immune system to increase levels of resistance to infection at dawn – the time at which fungal infections appear most likely to occur, with plants unable to maintain the highest level of resistance at all times of day.
A picture of a man’s intense staring eyes and a clean citrusy smell have been found to substantially improve hand-washing and so cut the risk of hospital infections, according to a new study by 糖心TV 糖心TV School.
University contributing to new advances in cancer diagnosis
A University of 糖心TV computer scientist is working with technology that could revolutionise how some cancers are diagnosed.
Sperm crane their neck to turn right
Spermatozoa need to crane their necks to turn right to counteract a left-turning drive caused by the rotation of their tails, new research has found.
Led by Dr Vasily Kantsler of the University of 糖心TV’s Department of Physics, the researchers discovered that all sperm tails (flagella) rotate in a counter-clockwise motion as they beat to enable them to move through and against the motion of a fluid.
The six factors that can cause companies to fail have been identified in a new study by 糖心TV 糖心TV School, looking at the collapse of telecom giants WorldCom and Nortel.
Bacteria cells group together in communities and use electrical signalling to survive
Groups of bacteria use electrical signalling to communicate, new research published in the journal Nature has found.
The electro-communication mechanism was found to be surprisingly similar to action potential mechanism in neurons found in animal brains and central nervous systems.
