That is the conclusion drawn by Professor Per Erik Ahlberg, Uppsala University, from his discovery of a so-called “clasper” in a primitive fossil fish earlier…
The discovery, which shows that a process dubbed the DDR (DNA Damage Response) also controls communication from cell to cell, has implications for both cancer…
In recent years, much research has focused on understanding precisely what the bacterium S aureus does within the host to disrupt the immune system. Despite…
The current drug discovery process is arduous, requiring identification of potential drug targets, synthesis of large collections of molecular compounds that…
The study is the first to use high-throughput sequencing to uncover active genes in developing brains, and it is likely the best evidence thus far for the…
The team, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and based at the University of Dundee has examined the genome sequence…
In a paper published in the July issue of Analytical Chemistry, John Brennan and his research team at McMaster University, working with the Sentinel Bioactive…
The interaction represented produced the famous explanation of the structure of DNA, but the model pictured is a stiff snapshot of idealized DNA. As…
HDAC8 overexpression is associated with a poor prognosis in human neuroblastoma patients. “As there are many different isoforms of histone deacetylases, it is…
The evolutionary riddle of the turtle shell is one step closer to being solved thanks to groundbreaking research published this week in Science. A team of…

“The objective of this research was to develop a product that could be used as a lubricating grease but that was made only from natural materials and was…
For years researchers have been searching for a way to treat diabetics by reactivating their insulin-producing beta cells, to no avail. Now, they may be one…
Animal behavior is typically the outcome of conflicting emotions. The novel mouse shows abnormal approach, but not avoidance, behavior. So researchers can use…
