In two papers that will be concurrently published in the August edition of the journal Nature Structural and Molecular Biology (now available on-line), the…
The finance will enable Cizzle to progress its research into a potential new method of diagnosing and treating lung cancer, based on the discovery of the role…
Fluorescence microscopy as a research tool in bacterial cell biologyJeff Errington takes a look at the revolutionary new views of the subcellular organization…
Our ability to move is largely dependent on various classes of motor neurons in our spinal marrow that govern the control of our muscles from there. However,…
A joint research project carried out by scientists from the Universitat Jaume I and the Cognition and Brain Sciences unit at the Medical Research Council in…
Their paper will be published online in advance of its scheduled August 1 publication date (www.genesdev.org).Using an approach that randomly alters expression…
Progranulin is a type of protein known as a growth factor. Production of too much progranulin has been associated with cancer. So the gene that codes for…
In the second it takes you to read these words, tens of thousands of vesicles in your optic nerves are released in sequence, opening tiny surface pores to pass…
“This approach gives us a way to figure out what's driving the growth of a cancer in an individual patient and ultimately match that patient with the right…

“The brain pressure implant is an alternative to pressure measuring catheters in clinical treatment”, states Matthias Wenzel from CMT. “An external unit sends…
Bennett Shum and colleagues have found that a fatty acid binding protein called aP2, which is already known for its role in diabetes and obesity, is also…
The tumor-protecting cells are white blood cells called regulatory T cells, or T-reg for short. Under ordinary circumstances, T-reg cells inhibit immune…
A research team led by Brown University engineers has harnessed the coding power of DNA to create zinc oxide nanowires on top of carbon nanotube tips. The…
The discovery could lead to development of drugs that target the defective gene, said the researchers at Duke University Medical Center who discovered the…
“These residues have been persisting since the late 1960s–that's what is really disturbing,” said Dr. Andrew Iwaniuk, a post-doctoral research fellow in the U…
