The study showed that increasing the activity of a protein called SIRT6 can reverse age-related deterioration in how DNA is organised and […]

In this study, the team focused on female moths and found that they make a critical decision—where to lay their eggs—based on sounds emitted by nearby plants. When plants emitted distress sounds, the female moths preferred […]

Now, Tel Aviv University researchers have succeeded in proving, for the first time, evidence that the corals’ fluorescent colours are designed to serve as a lure for their prey. A new Tel Aviv University study, in collaboration with the Steinhardt […]
