“Building on observations made by other scientists, our research team wondered whether hematopoietic stem cells could be detected in amniotic fluid. We looked…
Being able to accurately predict how a given cancer will respond to chemotherapy would spare patients with non-responsive tumors the burden of undergoing toxic…
In mice, Dr. Yu Shi, Chen Chen, and Professor Michael Gotthardt of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch, Germany, have now…
Although much progress has been made in understanding the brain in recent decades, scientists still know relatively little about how these processes function….
Their study, just published in the journal of Immunology, is the first to identify IDO (indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase) as a molecular switch that induces…
Miss Zoie Aiken and her colleagues presented the work at the Society for General Microbiology meeting in Harrogate today (Tuesday 31 March). The veneer-like…
Trichodesmium is unusual among marine microbes because it both “breathes” carbon dioxide like plants, while also taking nitrogen gas from the air and “fixing”…
Researchers at the universities of Leicester and Oxford have made a discovery about plant growth which could potentially have an enormous impact on crop…
Both cancer cells and the chemicals used to make bombs can foil detection because they appear in trace amounts too small for conventional detection techniques….
In the lab animals, supplements of lipoic acid lowered triglyceride levels up to 60 percent. If the effect were the same in humans – which is not yet clear –…
The particles are minute clumps of amyloid beta, which has long been known to accumulate and form plaques in the brain of Alzheimer's patients. “These small…
The protein, called P-glycoprotein or P-gp for short, is one of the main reasons cancer cells are resistant to chemotherapy drugs. Understanding its structure…
Their findings appear in a current online issue of the journal Freshwater Biology where they describe experiments that examined some effects of fisheries…
Scientists are using the luminescent and florescent genes to illuminate cells that produce a hormone linked to conditions, which include rheumatoid arthritis…
Researchers at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center have identified a new marker for breast cancer metastasis called TMEM, for Tumor…
