Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new approach to treating cancer using enzyme therapy.
The molecular tool CRISPR/Cas allows introducing DNA double strand breaks into any gene of interest consequently resulting in stochastic mutations at the site…
The study, led by Professor Philip Hugenholtz from UQ's School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences and the Australian Centre for Ecogenomics (ACE), relied…
Researchers from the University of Zurich can, for the first time, precisely characterize the protein modification ADP-ribosylation for all proteins in a…
The relationship between plants and so-called arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi is considered to be one of the most important factors for the evolution of…
In the first study, published recently in Translational Psychiatry, researchers investigated the stress neuropeptide CRF in a region of the brain called the…
One of the ways the pathogen defends itself against predatory aquatic amoebas involves “hitchhiking” them and hiding inside the amoeba. Once there, the…
First, according to Rice University engineers, get a nanotube hole. Then insert water. If the nanotube is just the right width, the water molecules will align…
In mammals, movement is controlled by circuits spanning throughout the central nervous system from the cortex to the spinal cord. The role of motor cortex in…
Scientists from the Marine Biological Association of the UK (MBA) and the University of Plymouth studied kelp forests off the south west of the United Kingdom.
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that affects dopamine signaling neurons in patients' brains. Cell-replacement therapy shows some promise as…
A new analysis shows that the habitats of three shark species (great hammerhead, tiger, and bull sharks) are relatively well protected from longline fishing in…
Protective proteins that mitigate the destruction of nerve cells after a stroke can be administered into the brain through the nose, as Heidelberg University…
Among other projects, the Graphene Flagship designs flexible biomedical electronic devices that will interface with the human body. Such applications require…
Function and homeostasis of the brain relies on communication between the complex network of cells, which compose this organ. Consequently, development of the…
