To fill in those gaps, she and her colleagues published a complete cell atlas from the smooth cauliflower coral (Stylophora pistillata) in Cell on May 3. Among the 40 cell types described were two ...

However, isolating and transplanting these cells in Hexacorallia has remained unexplored—until recently. Climate change has severely impacted coral reefs, with rising sea temperatures causing ...

Coral polyps, the reef's building blocks, are tiny colonial animals that house symbiotic algae in their cells. As those algae photosynthesize—using light to create energy—each polyp is fueled ...

Corals suffer in two ways: First, the active ingredient in many sunscreens, oxybenzone, affects the DNA function in coral cells; mature corals end up sterile while coral larvae are deformed and ...

A major pathway for strategically inducing cell death has been shared between humans and coral since their ancestral lineages diverged, according to a paper published today (June 9) in PNAS. The ...

Biological tests revealed that certain triterpene saponin compounds exhibited strong activity against all five tested cancer ...

This field focuses on understanding the biological and ecological characteristics of coral reefs across the world. CMBC promotes interdisciplinary research and educational approaches to maintain the ...

Professor Uri Frank at the University of Galway secures a Wellcome Trust award to study stem cell biology using Hydractinia ...

We used coral-bound nitrogen isotopes to analyse a range of modern symbiont-bearing and symbiont-barren corals across various environments. The measurements of these isotopes can be used to ...

When the cell shrinks, so do the pigmented areas ... mangrove leaf being carried along by the current. In the "Branching Coral" display, the cuttlefish raises its two central arms and splays ...
