“It's been ten years since human stem cells were first cultured in a Petri dish,” says the study's leader Juan-Carlos Izpisúa Belmonte, Ph.D., a professor in…
A large number of circadian genes are expressed by organs such as the liver, whose activity needs to be precisely regulated over the course of the day. A team…
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have uncovered variation around two genes that are associated with an increased risk of…
Scientists have known for some time that biological molecules interact with one another in a similarly complex pattern. Now researchers at the Stanford…
Most such studies ignore differences between populations within a species and the interactions between species, in the interest of simplicity. An article in…
Research has shown that when we pay attention, some of these neurons begin firing in unison, like a chorus rising above the noise. Now, a study in the May 29…
