Nearly 30 years after rye pollen molecules were shown to slow tumor growth in animals, scientists have finally determined their exact three-dimensional structures.

Rye pollen has been demonstrated to able to slow tumour growth in animal models of cancer. To understand more about this, chemists have determined the 3D structure of the bioactive molecules in rye ...

Nearly three decades ago, scientists found that a pair of molecules in rye pollen exhibited an unusual ability to slow tumor growth in animal models of cancer. But progress stalled for one seemingly ...

Scientists have discovered that pollen is a hidden source of natural medicine for honeybees. Symbiotic bacteria called Streptomyces produce antimicrobial compounds that fight deadly bee and plant ...

The transition of plants from their vegetative to reproductive phase is marked by flowering, a complex, tightly regulated process critical for pollination, seed production, and species survival ...

Scientists have invented a pollen-based sunscreen, which their results suggest is as effective in blocking harmful ultraviolet rays as sunscreens containing chemicals that contribute to coral ...

Early scientific theories—such as those explaining basic phenomena like gravity, burning, and the movement of molecules in water—centered on presumed inherent properties rather than external factors, ...

Fall is in the air. Chicago evenings have a crisp breeze. But something has been bugging Annie Andrews. Specifically, bees and wasps and a whole lot of sneezing. “It’s gotten to a point, like, I ...

Minerals such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are very effective sunscreen ingredients, but they can harm coral reefs if used in their non-nanoparticle form. An experimental new sunscreen forgoes ...

Melissopalynological techniques are used in the analysis of pollen grains. However, the adoption of methodologies considering cost-effectiveness, shorter preparation time and lesser toxic procedures ...
