While the roughly 20,000 genes in the human genome have been available for over a decade, the gene catalog of the microbiome, our much larger “other genome”,…
Scientists discovered that cells can change into an invasive, liquid-like state to readily navigate the narrow channels in our body. This transformation is…
Dysfunctional, unloved and seemingly of little use, these poor-cousin relatives of genes have lost their protein-coding abilities. They contain material not…
The retina and optic nerve are part of the CNS and this system is much used in experiments designed to test new ways of promoting regeneration after injury.
Changes to Antarctic winds have already been linked to southern Australia’s drying climate but now it appears they may also have a profound impact on warming…
The Institute for Energy Efficiency in Production (EEP) of the University of Stuttgart published the 2nd energy efficiency index in the framework of the energy…
A research unit, approved by the German Research Foundation, under the leadership of researchers based in Frankfurt, has made it their goal to throw light on…
Secure data communication, quantum computation, and sensing devices benefit from light sources, which emit only one photon at a time. These light sources…
In particular, genetic variants in a gene referred to as GBA1 (glucocerebrosidase) are associated to an increased risk for Parkinson’s. Researchers of the…
KfW is launching a new product in the capital market for its funding activities in the second half of 2014: As one of the world's largest providers of…
This is important knowledge in itself – but just as important is how this study, which is published in the highly respected journal Nature Methods, was…
In a paper published in this week’s early online edition of Nature, they report the discovery of a new genetic pathway in plants, made up of four genes from…
The Practitioner Toolkit for Managing the Menopause, which includes a diagnostic tool, as well as a compendium of approved hormone therapies, is published…
Located deep in the human gut, the small intestine is not easy to examine. X-rays, MRIs and ultrasound images provide snapshots but each suffers limitations….
Babies' growth in the womb and their size at birth, especially their length, are strikingly similar the world over – when babies are born to healthy,…
