Though the manner in which some cells win this competition is well known to be the survival of the fittest, how stem cells duke it out for space and survival…
The study, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that broad differences in the gene activity of humans and of chimpanzees, affecting nearly…
When two gene pools combine, you might expect the characteristics of the offspring to end up somewhere in the middle between those of its parents. But children…
The pipefish, which is related to the seahorse, has an unusual way of organising childcare. In this fish species it is the father who takes care of the eggs,…
Although bone marrow transplants have long been standard for acute leukemia, current treatments still rely on exact matches between donor and patient. Now,…
The discovery represents a further step in the ever-expanding field of understanding the ways in which stem cells develop into specific cells, a necessary…
But the Jeff Brinker research group has determined that the very first stage of staph infection, when bacteria switch from a harmless to a virulent form,…
Abcisic acid (ABA) has an awful lot on its plate. This plant hormone handles a staggeringly diverse array of jobs, from controlling seed germination to…
But directly observing how water solvents participate in critical pH-dependent processes, such as protein assembly, is no easy matter. Scientists need a…
HHMI investigator Huda Y. Zoghbi and colleagues at Baylor College of Medicine prevented medulloblastoma from developing in mice by shutting down production of…
Amyloids are the primary culprits in fatal brain disorders such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and Parkinson's diseases. Their study, published in the current…
A team of scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, Harvard University, and the Indian Institute of Science has…
Professor Dr. Frank Rösl and his co-workers at DKFZ have now discovered another mechanism by which the E6 oncoprotein of high-risk HPV16 promotes…
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Engineering in Oncology Center have shown that in healthy cells, a bundled “cap” of thread-like fibers holds the cell’s…
More importantly, according to two new studies led by a University of Utah human geneticist, fruit flies use the same molecular mechanisms as humans to help…
The research by scientists at the University of Michigan is reported in the Dec. 2 issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.”If people think of…
