Landmark research by mathematicians sets out the definitive picture of biological adaptation at the level of intermolecular interactions. Dr Araujo, from the QUT School of Mathematical Sciences, said ...

The field of plant adaptation to climate change has garnered significant attention due to the increasing frequency and intensity of environmental stressors such as temperature fluctuations, altered ...

If gut bacteria are too similar to the protective layer of nerves, they can misdirect the immune system and cause it to attack its own nervous system. This mechanism can accelerate the progression of ...

The heat shock response of cells is a classic model of biological adaptation, part of the fundamental processes of life -- conserved in creatures from single-celled yeast to humans -- that allow our ...

Plant biochemistry encompasses the vast network of chemical reactions that underpin every facet of plant life—from growth and development to adaptation under environmental stress. At its core, plant ...

Dr Araujo, from the QUT School of Mathematical Sciences, said the research findings represented a blueprint for adaptation-capable signalling networks across all domains of life and for the design of ...
