In contrast, the experience of a computational scientist can be anything but fast — waiting hours or days in a queue for a job to run and yield precious…
About a decade ago, U.S. scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) developed a standard estrogen receptor (ER) gene knock-out mouse model to study…
In work that could lead to safe and effective techniques for gene therapy, MIT researchers have found a way to fine-tune the ability of biodegradable polymers…
A study in the current issue of ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology suggests interactions between body oils and ozone found in airplane cabins could lead…
The mutation, called BRAF V600E, is a genetic alteration in the BRAF oncogene, a modified gene believed to cause cancer. The new research is reported in the…
A new study led by the University of Colorado at Boulder indicates biologists trying to save Colorado's native greenback cutthroat trout from extinction over…
Organometallic compounds can also form porous structures and have greatly broadened the palette of porous materials, though until now these have been limited…
For lunch, Joy Hesemann loved to dive into a platter of deep-fried, crunchy chicken tenders with a side of ranch dressing. At night, she'd fry up ground beef…
So vital is the p53 tumor suppressor gene in controlling cancer that its dysfunction is linked to more than half of human cancers. At the same time, the gene’s…
Asthma UK figures show the prevalence of asthma in Wales is among the highest in the world, with 260,000 people receiving treatment for their asthma with the…
In doing so, the researchers have made an advance toward super-fast quantum computing. The research could also be a building block for a quantum internet. Scientists used light to establish what's called “entanglement” between two atoms, which were trapped a meter apart in separate enclosures (think of entangling like controlling the outcome of one coin flip with the outcome of a separate coin flip)….
Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease (GIND) and Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a mechanism by which the protein…
In a study published in the September 6 issue of the journal Nature, researchers have shed new light on the hearing process by identifying two key proteins…
Toyoaki Suzuki at the University of Tokyo conducted observations of M101 with AKARI at four infrared wavelengths (65, 90, 140, and 160 micrometres) using the…
Systems Biology is transforming the way scientists think about biology and disease. This novel approach to research could prompt a shake up in medical science…
However, reliable measurement methods that enable large numbers of samples to be analysed quickly and economically would need to be in place in order to make…
