Recreating growth conditions in flea carriers and mammal hosts, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists have uncovered 176 proteins and likely…
Since the Middle Ages, mixing vessels – or crucibles – manufactured in the Hesse region of Germany have been world renowned because of their ability to…
When the body thinks it is under attack, it defends itself in the best way possible, for instance by starting a defence inflammation.This reaction is highly…
Researchers found some fish alter their behaviour according to that which they observe in other fish. The team found, for example, that bold fish become much…
Long established as a powerful tool for determining the structure of small molecules, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is now unravelling the…
The group—which accepted the official BioBrick trophy–targeted a way to use engineered cells to intercept the body’s excessive response to infection, which…
Five years after the publication of the initial sequence of the human genome, it has been uncovered that this sequence is not identical among different…
But this is now refuted by new findings by Uppsala University researchers who show that the protein is absolutely crucial to our respiration. The study is…
A study published today in the open access journal BMC Biology reveals that the shape and colour patterns on the shell of the mollusc mirror the localised…
A University of Utah study suggests that memories are held in our brains because certain proteins serve as anchors, holding other proteins in place to…
