An international team of researchers from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain, the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics (MPIMG),…
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart have developed a new method for the active degradation of organic pollutants in…
Stem cells are capable of becoming any cell type within the body through the process of differentiation. The discovery has the potential for application in the…
By contrast, children who become infected are protected by their innate immune system. This is because young «natural killer cells» fight off infectious…
Engineers have created a continuous chemical process that produces useful crude oil minutes after they pour in harvested algae — a verdant green paste with the…
Dr Dirk Sanders of the University of Exeter demonstrated that orb web spiders – like the common garden variety – choose to eat pollen even when insects are…
Stem cells are capable of becoming any cell type within the body through the process of differentiation. The discovery has the potential for application in the…
Sugar molecules are crucial to cell adhesion, the specific interaction between cells, and hence to the development of the embryo. This is the conclusion…
The design was inspired by natural biological motors that have evolved to perform specific tasks critical to the function of cells, said Jong Hyun Choi, a…
Supported by National Institutes of Health grants, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the University of Tennessee (UT), and the UT–ORNL Joint…
What exactly happens there will be investigated by a new research group at the universities of Würzburg and Duisburg-Essen. They will receive around two…
Research published in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology, suggests that the strain recently acquired a number of…
In the past decade, a single strain of Escherichia coli, or E. coli, has become the main cause of bacterial infections in women and the elderly by invading the…
The researchers discovered the mechanism in the phiX174 virus, which attacks E. coli bacteria. The virus, called a bacteriophage because it infects bacteria,…
An experimental drug that targets macrophages, a type of immune cells, in the microenvironment surrounding the lethal brain tumor glioblastoma multiforme…
Reducing glucose metabolism dials down influenza viral infection in laboratory cell cultures, providing an entirely new approach for combating seasonal flu,…
