The researchers reported their findings, “A small molecule based on the pRb2/p130 spacer domain leads to inhibition of cdk2 activity, cell cycle arrest and…
Recent discoveries by researchers at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) could lead to new avenues of exploration for…
Bdelloids have remained an enduring enigma in part because biologists are still debating whether the species actually exist as true evolutionary entities. And…
The 3D-structure can provide information about critical protein-protein interactions both from a global perspective as well as all the way down to the level of…
However, biological clocks are also encountered in almost every cell type (so-called “peripheral” clocks), in which they regulate daily changes in cell…
In this study, Jason Brickner and colleagues show that recruited genes are actively retained at the periphery for generations after transcription is repressed….
For example, cave dwelling or subterranean animals often have reduced eyes and brain regions involved in visual processing. These differences suggest that…
The research, published in PLoS Biology, focuses on the study of bdelloid rotifers, microscopic aquatic animals that live in watery or occasionally wet…
The fungus Cryptococcus neoformans can infect the human brain leading to disease (cryptococcosis) that is usually fatal if untreated. It is ‘dressed to kill’…
Dr Brian Saunders from The School of Materials and Professor Tony Freemont from The Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences have developed tiny gel particles…
In a study available online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from UT Southwestern show that the Clock gene, which controls…
Researchers with the Macromolecules and Interfaces Institute (MII www.mii.vt.edu) at Virginia Tech report such a development in the online issue for the…
Together with At-Bristol’s science communicators, these scientists will assist visitors in carrying out a host of brain-related experiments and activities,…
Biomimetics is the science that tries to imitate nature’s solutions to various problems. One approach is to apply biological principles to the construction of…
The study examined the Wwox gene, a suspected tumor-suppressor gene, and showed that even when mice have one working copy of the gene, they nonetheless develop…
The study, which appears in the advance online edition of the journal Molecular and Cellular Biology, indicates that two proteins, named Timeless and Tipin,…
