Sequencing the genomes of tumor cells has revealed thousands of mutations associated with cancer. One way to discover the role of these mutations is to breed a…
Researchers from the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC), which is headquartered at UW-Madison and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy,…
In general, our knowledge of biology—and much of science in general—is limited by our ability to actually see things. Researchers who study…
The new research follows up on previous work from the laboratory of University of Illinois entomology professor and Institute for Genomic Biology director Gene…
“It turns out that if ramped up slowly enough an otherwise potent signal elicits no response from the receiving cells. Meanwhile, a pulsing, on-off signal…
Thanks to technology that the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Richard Vierstra has been developing for years, these things may soon be possible. And now, new…
Some cephalopods are masters of display: Not only can they adapt their skin colour to their immediate environment, thereby merging with the background, they…
“It's a special new advance that will be broadly useful in studies of molecular and materials phenomena,” said Andrei Tokmakoff, the Henry G. Gale…
In so doing, they produced the first structural color change in an animal by influencing evolution. The discovery may have implications for physicists and…
This study, reported in the August 2014 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine, demonstrated that the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is not only required…
Cancer drugs can be modified to specifically target tumour sites to help personalize cancer treatment. And while it is relatively easy to determine if the…
This striking feature of many cancers is called aneuploidy and is often accompanied by chromosomal instability (CIN), an increased rate of gain and loss of…
This morning, shortly after waking up: did I first go to the bathroom and then turned on the coffee machine in the kitchen—or vice versa? Sometimes you are…
Researchers from McGill University and the Génome Québec Innovation Centre have achieved a technical breakthrough that should result in speedier diagnosis of…
Despite improved therapy, only one out of every two adult patients survive acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). The mean survival time for this disease, which…
