Source link It is hoped that the findings will lead to more efficient breeding practices for pedigrees Researchers in Russia have completed a ten-year study into the sex lives of cats, which they say will allow more effective breeding techniques for pedigree felines. As part of the experiment, researchers from the Peoples’ Friendship University of […]
Source link Despite the mammal’s death with her unborn calf, the team believes that IVF methods can save endangered African northern white rhinos Scientists with the BioRescue research consortium in Kenya have recorded the world’s first pregnancy in a rhino following a successful embryo transfer, potentially paving the way to save Africa’s northern white subspecies […]
Source link The Harvard-connected researchers copied and pasted images to spoof test results, a British biologist has alleged A US cancer research center linked with Harvard University has retracted six studies and corrected dozens of others, after a British scientist discovered their authors falsified data by “photoshopping” images of cell samples and test results. In […]
Source link A simple blood test could detect biological markers of the disease 15 years before symptoms develop, researchers say Scientists have hailed a potentially ‘revolutionary’ breakthrough in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, after a team of Swedish researchers found that a commercially available blood test can detect biological markers of the disease about ten […]
