Researchers discovered that a large protein, which forms a protective shield around cancer cells and prevents them from causing secondary tumours, is attacked…
In the Baltic countries and Poland biotech and life sciences are growing. As an example of this positive development the Latvian BioTech Association was…
Participants, who were asked to pick the odd one out on a screen covered in over 650 identical symbols, including one rotated version of the same symbol,…
From today scientists will be able to access a vast collection of biomedical research and to submit their own published results for inclusion in a new online…
Nitrogen-containing organic compounds are important products as well as intermediates for many pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and chemicals used in…
Researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Cancer Center have discovered a novel gene mutation associated with Wilms tumor, the most common…
Scientists have discovered a new species of bat that has large flat adhesive organs, or suckers, attached to its thumbs and hind feet. This is a remarkable…
Professor Lewis Rothberg of the University of Rochester Chemistry Department received a NYSTAR grant in August 2006 to continue working on a recent discovery…
The gene can either halt the cell's growth or send it spiraling toward certain death. How this choice is made, the researchers say, could have implications for…
The first report showing the isolation of broad potential stem cells from the amniotic fluid that surrounds developing embryos was published today in Nature…
