Understanding what shapes the evolution of specific traits across species remains complicated because of a lack of appropriate tools. Researchers from FAUβs College of Engineering and Computer Science recently received a three-year, $596,571 grant from the National Science Foundation to address this obstacle. ...READ MORE.
Red Blood Cell Aging
In a new study published in the journal Lab on a Chip, researchers from FAU's College of Engineering and Computer Science developed a new technique to identify the role of low oxygen conditions, called hypoxia, on red blood cell aging.
Understanding hypoxia further has the potential to help human health in a variety of ways, including drug resistance of cancer cells. ... READ MORE.
Connected Corals
Little is known about the genetic connectivity of corals in both shallow-water reefs, which have declined over the decades and those in water ranging from 100 to 200 feet, called the mesophotic zone.
In a recent study published in the journal Coral Reefs, researchers from FAU's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute reveal that based on genetic data, these mesophotic reefs could be important to the continued survival of their shallow-water counterparts. ... READ MORE.
