By applying engineering principles to biological systems where a set of components can evolve into networks that display desired behaviors – known as synthetic…
Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers have discovered a potential chink in the armor of fibers that make the cell walls of certain inedible plant…
Several common genetic markers have been found to be associated with the disease, but finding the biological events that lead to cancer can be much more…
It can be found in all life forms, and serves a multitude of purposes, from energy storage to stress response to bone calcification. This molecular jack-of-all…
The six-year effort involved an international consortium of researchers and is the first full genome sequence of any ruminant species. Ruminants are…
The functions of genes found in these “breakpoint regions” differ significantly from those occurring elsewhere in the chromosomes. This suggests that…

The ant colonies showed sophisticated nest-site choice, selecting the superior site even though it was nine times further away than the alternative. The best…
Prion diseases can be sporadic, inherited and infectious. The vast majority (85 percent) of prion diseases in humans can be attributed to a spontaneous…
This is the conclusion of researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, who have used DNA analyses to discover that one of our most common segmented…
The finding is published in the latest edition of the international journal Neurology. Dr Helen Leonard, who heads the Australian Rett Syndrome Study at the…
They have discovered how genes are controlled in mammals, as well as the tiniest genetic element ever found. Their discoveries will be published in three…
Treatment of chronic wounds is a continuing clinical problem and socio-economic burden with diabetic foot ulcers alone costing the NHS £300 million a year.Scientists in Bristol have found that human foetal stem cells can effectively be used to treat back leg ischaemic ulcers in a model of type 1 diabetes. …
A classic example is provided by frogs and salamanders. New discoveries from Uppsala, Cambridge and Duke Universities, published in Science, show that some of…
