For scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Monterotondo, Italy, what seemed like a disappointing result turned out to be an…
The study involved 76 older people with no memory problems and 87 older people with mild memory problems but no symptoms of dementia, known as mild cognitive…
An examination of a small sample of hair or blood can reveal if a calf has any genetic diseases that will lower the market price. Now, a team of clinicians and…
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine have discovered how one antioxidant protein controls the activity of another protein, critical for the…
Genes previously known to be essential to the coordinated, rhythmic electrical activity of cardiac muscle — a healthy heartbeat — have now also been found to…
The study by Kang Zhang, MD, PhD, Director of the Institute for Genomic Medicine and professor of ophthalmology and human genetics at the Shiley Eye Center at…
University of Utah medical researchers have identified a gene with mutations that cause febrile seizures and contribute to a severe form of epilepsy known as…
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 study shines new light on the protein Pds5, its crucial regulatory role during meiosis, and the impact of its absence on the molecular-level genesis of human chromosomal birth defects that include Down, Edwards, Patau, Turner, Klinefelter's and XYY syndromes. The findings, which are described in a paper featured in the Journal of…

The idea that horns and antlers evolved in male animals for fighting over mates and territories is well established, but until now no study has been able to…
Through the ramification of its fiber-like axon, a single neuron can send branches and thus transmit information into several target areas at the same time. In…
The study, which will be published in the next issue of the scientific journal FASEB Journal, is based on the extensive population study of women in Gothenburg…
The researchers refer to these microRNA collections as signatures, and their study results are reported in the September 15 issue of “Genes & Development.’’…
Although insulin responses were known to follow daily rhythms, the finding that components of the insulin-control system can reset the body's clock surprised…
While scientists have known for several years that our body's internal clock helps regulate many biological processes, researchers have found that the reverse…
A team of researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla have developed…
