A team from the Uppsala Branch of the global Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) has not only shown how the cell gets this timing right, but has also…
In the July 28 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Roman Dziarski, Ph.D., and Dipika Gupta, Ph.D., propose that the proteins might be used to develop…
An article describing this research was published today in the advanced online issue of the journal Nature Medicine. The researchers identified the potent and…
By training mice to eat at a time when they normally wouldn't, the researchers found that food turns on body-clock genes in a particular area of the brain….
A startling revelation about the number of different kinds of bacteria in the deep-sea raises fundamental new questions about microbial life and evolution in…
But now, research just published in the advanced online issue of Nature Neuroscience 1, found that Rhesus macaques when listening to other monkeys’ calls…
This line of scientific questioning points to ways in which neural systems compare to artificial ones, and can ultimately inform the design of artificial…
A single protein can turn on and off a key component of the immune system by changing partners in an elegant genomic dance, said researchers at the University…
So that we can move, and so that our heart beats, we need proteins with special mechanical properties, “molecular springs”, which give our tissues the…
Dr Roger Barraclough, from the School of Biological Sciences, is working on a new protein which causes some cancer cells to spread around the body. This…
”The course of disease in these mice is strikingly similar to human disease”, says Dr. Lars Olson.In the mouse model generated by the research team, a gene…
Producing proteins is a time-consuming, painstaking process, particularly from mammalian cell lines, and the investment required in terms of time, expertise,…
“Understanding the regulation of nutrient reserves, particularly fat storage, at the individual and colony levels is critical to understanding both the…
Performance on the dance floor may not always show it, but people are rarely born with two left feet. We have genes that instruct our arms and legs to grow in…
These findings, published in the August issue of Nature Methods, “should substantially speed up research efforts to bring malaria under control,” says Dr….
They sleep together, eat together, and most people find it impossible to tell them apart. Identical twins who grow up together share just about everything,…
