Vertebrate species and humans are inclined to prefer mates who have dissimilar MHC (major histocompatibility complex) genotypes, rather than similar ones. This…
Biologist John Tyson, who studies the cell cycle, is a leader in applying mathematical models in molecular cell biology. However, comparing the results of a…
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered that microtubules – components responsible for shape, movement, and…
The key to many medical problems, like preventing tumour development, is therefore to obstruct the spread of the blood vessels. Research scientists at…
Recent studies have shown that this natural compound also displays anti-tumor and antiviral activities against several types of viruses, including human…
The secret to the ability of a molecule critical for cell division to throw off the protein yoke that restrains its activity is the yoke itself—a disorderly…
A recent study by a Saint Louis University researcher confirms findings that about half of the U.S. population has a version of a gene that causes them to…
The gene-activating method, which is being developed by UT Southwestern scientists, also is providing researchers with a novel research tool to investigate the…
Bioengineering researchers at UC San Diego have painstakingly assembled a virtual human metabolic network that will give researchers a new way to hunt for…
A single protein in brain cells may act as a linchpin in the body’s weight-regulating system, playing a key role in the flurry of signals that govern fat…
How many genes influence a complex trait, like weight, height or body type? And why does the answer matter?Among other reasons, because the “Green Revolution”…
The work could provide a better understanding of this pathogen, while also offering insight into how cells transform energy from the environment into the forms…
Real-time control of the function of single proteins by detecting and changing their shapes is the object of the new research project, called SPARTAN, which…
Steven Hagens, previously at the University of Vienna, told Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI, that certain bacteriophages, a type of virus that…
The study compared the functionality of the HER2/neu receptor in the cancer cells of breast and ovarian cancer tissue. Supported by the Austrian Science Fund…
