Their paper published in the Royal Society of Chemistry's Chemical Communications has been tagged as a hot article. Dr Paradisi and her co-workers used an…
In the mouse model, a decrease not only in tumour growth but also a reduction in tumour volume to around one-third was observed for the first time. In the…
Familial combined hyperlipidemia is caused by the gene USF1, which in turn regulates many other genes, but until now there have been no techniques for finding…
The findings will be published in the Feb. 15 issue of Development. In this work, the team used gain- and loss-of-function mutations in mice to isolate novel…
Just a few weeks ago, teams from Bochum, Illinois, and Nevada were able to prove with terahertz (THz) spectroscopy that proteins do modify water molecules in…
But precisely how this natural protein works its magic on the cells of the immune system is not well understood. Now, however, in research that may have…
Currently, lysosomal storage diseases are treated by enzyme replacement therapy. This can be challenging because the enzyme has to find its proper way into…
The bio-crude oil can be used to produce high value chemicals and biofuels, including both petrol and diesel replacement fuels.“By making changes to the…
The work, which was posted to the Web site of the journal Nature Medicine yesterday, is a follow-up to the team’s 2006 discovery of the cellular cause of TCS. The team evaluated how a mutated TCOF1 gene causes the death of neural crest cells that should otherwise form most of the bone, cartilage, and connective tissue that make up the head and face during embryonic development. The loss of these cells results in abnormal development of the ear, nose, and upper and lower jaw, including cleft palate. …
“The practical benefit of this finding is that we can now search for new ways to lower cholesterol by designing targeted antibodies to disrupt this…
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and Arizona State University have sequenced the genome of a rare bacterium that harvests light energy by…
It is expected to become one of the key scientific fields of the 21st century. Over the next decade, TU Delft is set to invest 10 million Euro derived from…
Serotonin appears to be one of the major players in mood and a variety of other disorders. But exactly how remains an open question. Imagine walking past a…
Scientists at Saint Louis University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham have uncovered important new information about a key protein that allows…
A less commonly known distinction of water, but one of great interest to physical chemists, is its odd behavior at its transition to the glassy phase. The…
Novel molecular techniques have been responsible for major strides in microbial ecology and are addressing broadly important scientific questions about the…
