Millions of corals born from frozen sperm could one day be deployed on reefs to help them recover from climate change-induced ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Time-lapse video shows how a mushroom coral polyp pulses and inflates, flinging its soft body into micro-hops to slowly move itself to a new location.

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 ...

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 ...

Avobenzone may cause a dysfunction with the powerhouse of the cell, which may kill cells and induce a bleaching effect in corals.” Coral reefs are critical ecosystems for Hawai‘i, protecting its ...
