The cell being in permanent futile search – is a cancer cell. This hypothesis was set forward by Russian scientists Yuri Vasiliev and I.M. Gelfand in the…
Research in the field of cellular technologies can lead to a new understanding of the development and differentiation of cells: their ability to transform into…
Trichomoniasis affects an estimated 170 million people a year, with more than 5 million cases reported in North America. This global health problem results…
Kelp that grows in the upper tidal zone, such as bladder wrack and knotted wrack, is especially rich in phlorotannins. But the concentration of the compounds…
If you are suffering from Salmonella food poisoning or, worse, typhoid fever, you feel like every cell in your body is under attack from an army of invading…
Researchers found that ethnic Chinese individuals carrying a mutation they identified in the LRRK2 gene are over two times more likely to develop the disease…
An injury to the brain can be devastating. When brain cells die, whether from head trauma, stroke or disease, a substance called glutamate floods the…
“This discovery, for the first time, provides a molecular approach to understanding the causes and eventually the treatment for this disease, ” said Marsel…
Now, new research published in the January 2007 issue of the journal Cancer Cell, published by Cell Press, reveals that small blood vessels associated with…
Dr. Evangelos Michelakis, a professor at the U of A Department of Medicine, has shown that dichloroacetate (DCA) causes regression in several cancers,…
The discovery was made after a resident brought insects to the attention of a pest control operator who identified them as kissing bugs. After researching the…
The freeze-frame image of a molecular relay race, in which one enzyme passes off a protein like a baton to another enzyme, has solved a key mystery to how…
The cell death process, or apoptosis, is characteristically impaired in cancer cells. The process is regulated by a large family of proteins that either…
But exactly how the cell avoids such mistakes has remained unclear until now. Researchers at Ohio State University found the mechanism that prevents such…
Researchers have found a marker on head and neck tumor cells that indicates which cells are capable of fueling the cancer’s growth. The finding is the first…
