There is no single type of schizophrenia, as previously thought, but eight different genetic diseases

74041 Scientists from the universities of Granada (Spain) and Washington in St Louis (US) have found that there is not a single type of schizophrenia, but that it consists of a group made up of eight genetically different types of diseases, each of which presents its own set of symptoms.This important find, published recently by… Seguir Leyendo There is no single type of schizophrenia, as previously thought, but eight different genetic diseases

New research reveals that a species of bird ‘paints’ its own eggs with bacteria which protect the embryo

74249 74249 Researchers from the University of Granada and the Higher Council of Scientific Research (CSIC) have found that hoophoes cover their eggs with a secretion produced by themselves, loaded with mutualistic bacteria, which is then retained by a specializad structure in the eggshell and which increases successful hatching. So far this sort of behaviour has… Seguir Leyendo New research reveals that a species of bird ‘paints’ its own eggs with bacteria which protect the embryo

Seed dormancy, a property that prevents germination, already existed 360 million years ago

73677 An international team of scientists, coordinated by a researcher from the U. of Granada, has found that seed dormancy (a property that prevents germination under non-favourable conditions) was a feature already present in the first seeds, 360 million years ago.   Seed dormancy is a phenomenon that has intrigued naturalists for decades, since it… Seguir Leyendo Seed dormancy, a property that prevents germination, already existed 360 million years ago

Scientists design an imaging system capable of obtaining 12 times more information than the human eye

73443 Researchers at the University of Granada have designed a new imaging system capable of obtaining up to twelve times more colour information than the human eye and conventional cameras, which implies a total of 36 colour channels. This important scientific development will facilitate the easy capture of multispectral images in real time, and in… Seguir Leyendo Scientists design an imaging system capable of obtaining 12 times more information than the human eye
