Nanoparticles are the smallest particles capable of reaching virtually all parts of the body. Researchers use various approaches to test ways in which…
Eurasian otters are elusive creatures. Only rarely do researchers manage to observe these shy animals directly in the wild. Trampled vegetation at the water's…
Two major revolutions, one genomic and one in informatics, are completely changing the face of biomedical research. Every day all over the world, millions of…
The finding, published June 16,2015 in the journal Genes & Development, shows that nucleoporins play an important role in maintaining embryonic stem cells…
Scientists for the first time tracked ultrafast structural changes, captured in quadrillionths-of-a-second steps, as ring-shaped gas molecules burst open and…
X-rays from the Linac Coherent Light Source were used to measure the ultrafast response of DNA nucleobases to ultraviolet light. Researchers found that the UV…
Toddlers have a reputation for being stubborn, selfish, and incapable of sharing. But researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology…
“In the fight against bacterial infection, NETs cause collateral damage that slows healing,” said Yanming Wang, associate professor of biochemistry and…
Unfortunately, the molecular mechanisms of stem cell self-renewal remain elusive, although a great therapeutical need exists for these cells to be used in stem…
Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and the Institute of Translational Immunology (TIM) of the University Medical Center Mainz have recently…
Scientists of Professor Holger Braunschweig's team of the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Würzburg have successfully bound two carbon…
Inside the cell, DNA is tightly coiled and packed with several proteins into a structure called “chromatin”, which allows DNA to fit in the cell while also…
“Chronic infection is caused by long-lived cells with resting viral genomes that are activated by different factors,” explained Prof. Dr. Ruth Brack-Werner of…
American Oystercatcher (Haematopus palliates) nests are sparsely distributed, time-intensive to find, and often in remote locations, all adding to the…
In a recently published study in “Neuron”, the neuroscientist and her team show that learning the relevance of images considerably modifies neuronal networks…
Mycoplasma is a genus of very small bacteria that lack a cell wall. Due to their very small size and their flexible shape, these pathogens are able to pass…
