Life Science

Life Science latest news, researches, articles, terms, glossary, definitions, new findings everything related to Life Science at one place.

Life Science is a branch of science that studies the structure, function, growth, evolution, and distribution of living organisms. It encompasses a wide range of subfields such as biology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, and more. The Life Science category in a science news website would cover the latest research and discoveries in these fields, including articles on new findings in genetics, developments in biotechnology, and breakthroughs in understanding how living organisms work. It would also cover the latest developments in the field of medicine, including new treatments and therapies for various diseases. Additionally, it would also cover the intersection of life science with other science fields such as ecology, evolution, and environmental science. The Life Science category would provide readers with a deeper understanding of the inner workings of living organisms and the latest advancements in understanding and improving human health.

Genetic Evolution in Action: Forest Lizards Adapt to City Life

January 26, 2023January 13, 2023

Lizards living in cities have genetically adapted to survive in urban environments, according to a new study. Researchers from New York University (NYU) have found that lizards living in different cities have a parallel genomic marker when compared to neighboring forest lizards. This marks the first time that parallel physical differences and genomic signatures have been found in urban lizards as compared to their counterparts living in forests.

Black-Capped Chickadee Grows Brain Tissue to Survive Harsh Winters

January 25, 2023January 10, 2023

the palm-sized black-capped chickadee, has an astonishing ability to survive brutal winters by growing brain tissue instead of feathers. This extra brain power helps the bird remember the site where it buried the food item for sustenance. When it gets hungry in the winter, the bird returns to these burial sites.

New Evidence Suggests Triassic Ichthyosaur Super-Predator May Have Been Largest Animal to Ever Live

January 25, 2023January 4, 2023

Scientists believe that ichthyosaur had a two-meter-long skull and an estimated length of 21 meters, making it a super-predator for the time. The jaw-bone was measured to be around 96 centimetres long, the researchers said that based on the size of the bone, the super-predator could have been between 20 to 25 meters, larger than the previous specimen found in 2004.

New Study Reveals COVID-19 Virus Can Linger in Brain for Months

January 25, 2023January 3, 2023

A new study from researchers at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has revealed that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, can spread throughout the body, including the brain, and linger for almost eight months. The findings were published in the journal Nature and were based on tissue samples from autopsies of patients who died from COVID-19.
