Gobies from the Black and Caspian Sea are spreading along the shipping routes in Central Europe and North America. They have been present in the Swiss part of…
Using genome editing, DNA can be altered in a very precise manner. Often, only a single base, that is one letter of the genome, is replaced or deleted. This is…
An international public-private research consortium has identified and validated a cellular role of a primary Parkinson’s disease drug target, the LRRK2…
A new global analysis of seafood found that fish populations throughout the world's oceans are contaminated with industrial and agricultural pollutants,…
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by progressive dementia and brain plaques consisting of the Aβ protein. Conventional wisdom has it that AD is not a…
The human brain works with division of labour. Although our thinking organ excels in displaying amazing flexibility and plasticity, typically different areas…
Neural stem cells possess extraordinary abilities: They can multiply, fall into a sort of hibernation (“quiescence”) or differentiate into mature cell types…
Using a new technology for repairing disease genes–the much-talked-about CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing–University of Iowa researchers working together with…
And more importantly, their data creates a map, showing where the active natural oil seeps are located.

A team from the University of Leicester has for the first time published a detailed description of a protein linked to many types of cancer.
Liang Fang and his colleagues in Walter Birchmeier's group at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC), working with colleagues on the Berlin-Buch…
The contents in our genetic information are actually silent (meaning inactive) and first have to be made to “speak”. Like the read head in a tape recorder, RNA…
