And in an animal study, a diabetes drug that promotes insulin sensitivity slowed the progression of muscle wasting and fat loss, the main consequences of a syndrome called cachexia, in mice with colon...
Health and Medicine | Read moreHealing badly damaged lungs: Distinct set of white blood cells found to set the pace of wound repair
The white blood cells are called regulatory T cells, or Tregs for short, and their best known function is to keep the body's immune system from attacking its own healthy tissues."Our...
Health and Medicine | Read moreLandmark study sheds new light on human chromosomal birth defects
That discovery is groundbreaking, but so, too, is what principal investigator Hong-Guo Yu calls the "genetics trick" performed by his research team that made the discovery possible. The stud...

Interactions between proteins are fundamental to many biological processes, including some less-than-desirable ones like infections and tumor growth. For example, HIV and several other human viruses &...
Life Sciences | Read moreGenome Duplication Responsible for More Plant Species than Previously Thought
Plant biologists have long suspected polyploidy -- the heritable acquisition of extra chromosome sets -- was a gateway to speciation. But the consensus was that polyploidy is a minor force, a mere ano...
Life Sciences | Read moreBone's material flaws lead to disease
According to researchers at MIT, that minuscule encoding error creates a defective collagen molecule that, at the site of the amino acid substitution, repels rather than attracts the collagen molecule...
