Zebrafish are genetically similar to humans and are good models for human biology and disease. Now, researchers at Children's Hospital Boston have created a…
One approach focuses on a gene called STAT3. In several tumors, STAT3 takes the role of an oncogene, that is, a gene whose normal functions are derailed and,…
“The classical idea has been that people working or living close to the forest were at risk for the disease, but that view failed to consider such factors as…
This gene, which can be used to identify plants using a small sample, could lead to new ways of easily cataloguing different types of plants in species-rich…
Jean-Bosco Ouedraogo of the Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Santé (IRSS) in Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, and colleagues explain that vitamin A and…
The water molecules, which generally move around like disco dancers in their collective network motions behave more like in a neat minuet under protein…
Until now, we have not had any specific treatment for the often fatal effects of heat stroke. A group of researchers from the Institut Municipal d'Investigació…
Take 200 milligrammes of dried and ground equisetum, ten millilitres of digestive juice from sheep's rumen, a few minerals, carbonate and water. Fill a big…
In the Feb. 1 issue of Journal of Molecular Biology, IU Bloomington biologists Joel Ybe and Qian Niu describe a region on the surface of HIP1…
It has long been known that Down Syndrome is caused when an individual has an extra copy of the 21st chromosome, giving them a total of three instead of the…
The genes, called E2F7 and E2F8, are the least understood members of a family of genes that play a fundamental role in animal development. Members of this…
This report investigates the genetic background of L. pneumophila, provides clues to the evolution and emergence of this pathogen, and describes the…
Currently, one of the most important areas to explore in developmental biology is how cellular transformation processes lead to the three-dimensional formation…
How sensitive are neuronal networks to external interference? To what extent are neuronal network processes incudung the thinking patterns of the brain…
The sequencing of the two full FIV genomes of different lion subtypes shows the importance of whole-genome analysis in understanding complex genetic events….
Depression is a chronic and recurrent illness that can affect at least 20% of the population at some period in their lifetime, according to a number of studies…
