At ASCB 2015, Vanderbilt researchers show how metastasizing tumors use non-cancerous fibroblasts to make a migration highway through surrounding extracellular…
The researchers compared two arms of patients and report high five-year overall survival rates of 97 percent and 94 percent, respectively. That's a five to 20…
To characterize the evolution and adaptation of HIV variants, the researchers analyzed the viral RNA from samples of HIV-infected patients for several years,…
The international research group “BEF-China” received funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG) for a period of eight years. Its aim was to determine…
Two University of Washington researchers have uncovered details of the radically divergent strategies that two common tree species employ to cope with drought…
In a new report, virologists from the School of Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and their collaborators at Oklahoma…
Purifying water and greening nanotechnology could be as simple as shaking a vial of water and oil. At least that's the case for a new method to clean…
A team led by Professor Takafumi Uchida has created a new technique for visualizing the dynamics of nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2−), both markers of nitric…
This leads to changes in food chain length, which can in turn influence decomposition and plant growth. These findings emphasise the importance of combined…
Stem cells have the potential to develop into any specialized cell type, which makes them a valuable resource in research and regenerative medicine. Since such…
Flu epidemics occur almost every year. Sometimes, novel virus strains can even spread into global pandemics. In recent years, influenza A viruses (IAV) have…
Between two and ten million people are infected with influenza viruses, that cause seasonal annual epidemics of disease. Influenza viruses are subdivided into…
Epigenetic marks are chemical tags which physically attach themselves to DNA, and modify its function without changing the genetic code. DNA methylation is one…
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules play a pivotal role in the immune defense against intracellular parasites, such as viruses. Inside the…
Metastases occur when tumour cells detach from the primary tumour and migrate to distant sites through the connective tissue of organs.
The common perception that the bodies of all living beings age, is wrong. This has now been proved by scientists of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic…
