How plant leaves ensure optimal area for photosynthesis
The small RNA molecules in the cells of the growing leaf set in motion a genetic process that enables the cells to perceive and interpret their environment.
Certain hormone drugs linked to increased brain tumour risk
Prolonged use of certain progestogen hormone drugs has been associated with an increased risk of developing a type of brain tumour known as an intracranial meningioma.
