The study, the cover story in the Aug. 6, 2009, issue of the journal Nature, also opens the door for further research which could accelerate the development of…
The results of this research project, which was initiated in 2005 and is supported by Bizkaia:Xede and the Basque Government's Etortek programme, were…
Pyruvate carboxylase is a metabolic enzyme that plays a fundamental role in the metabolism of fatty acids (the components of fats) and sugars. When its…
The genetic information was obtained using pyrosequencing technology in the Keck Center at the U of I. The genetic sequence will allow scientists to study…
In 1957, shepherds in Idaho (USA) discovered that when pregnant sheep ate lilies of the species Veratrum californicum (corn lily, California false hellebore),…
Effective response by key immune cells in the body, called T cells, is crucial for control of many widespread chronic viral infections such as HIV and…
While banded birds are sometimes seen in the area where they were originally released, it is very rare to see them so far from a release site.The observation…
The data may help stem cell researchers understand the mechanisms that determine whether stem cells divide or differentiate, what types of cells they become…
That means that village dogs from most African regions are genetically distinct from non-native breeds and mixed-breed dogs. They also are more genetically…
Vincent Corbel from the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement in Montpellier, and Bruno Lapied from the University of Angers, France, led a team of…
The research investigated the brain biology of psychopaths with convictions that included attempted murder, manslaughter, multiple rape with strangulation and…
The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) announced today the introduction of a new private pension plan for EMBO Fellows. The plan offers a benefit…
Measuring three to 10 centimetres, stickleback fish originated in the ocean but began populating freshwater lakes and streams following the last ice age. Over…
Cancer researchers do not know why healthy cells and cancer cells differ in their methylation patterns and why it is particularly the cancer inhibitors that…
According to researchers at MIT, that minuscule encoding error creates a defective collagen molecule that, at the site of the amino acid substitution, repels…
The key lies in a virus' RNA — a long molecular chain often used to make proteins — and how it regulates an enzyme called protein kinase R (PKR), according…
