This deep-sea comb jelly species is one of the largest ctenophores, reaching the size of an American football. This particular one is 20 centimeters long, but its two strong and sticky tentacles stretched for about 10 meters -- 20 times its body length. Their typical depth range is between 700 and ...

Scientists have developed an effective new strategy for treating cancer, which has wiped out the disease to near completion in cellular cultures in the laboratory. The treatment works by controlling chromatin, a group of macromolecules -- including DNA, RNA and proteins -- that houses genetic ...
