Researchers at EPFL have built a matchbox-sized device that can test for the presence of bacteria in a couple of minutes, instead of up to several weeks. A…
“This finding gives us insights into immune regulation that could be very helpful in a range of medical applications, from viral vaccines to treatments for…
Most of our physiological functions fluctuate throughout the day. They are coordinated by a central clock in the brain and by local oscillators, present in…
This work could be helpful for the rapid and on-site detection of illegal cooking oil. Their work, entitled “Rapid colorimetric detection of illegal cooking…
Synthetic biology researchers at Northwestern University, working with partners at Harvard Medical School, have for the first time synthesized ribosomes –…
Researchers from McGill University, RIKEN (The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research, Wako, Japan) and the Institute for Molecular Science (Okazaki,…
The research may lead to the development of new drugs or delivery systems to treat cancer by blocking this receptor, known as natriuretic peptide receptor A…
The study, reported this month in the journal Cell, verifies a process that scientists knew existed but with a mechanism they had never been able to observe,…
A fresh study by Turku Centre for Biotechnology and Aalto University in Finland is the first to report a new mechanism that regulates specification of…
A new potential drug from a marine microorganism is effective against anthrax and various other Gram-positive bacteria, as reported by American scientists in…
Neuroblastoma is one of the most common cancers in children up to one year of age. Neuroblastomas develop when certain nerve cells degenerate and form sizable…
The power of the brain lies in its trillions of intercellular connections, called synapses that together form complex neural “networks.” While neuroscientists…
“Cancer cells may maintain short telomeres to maintain their undifferentiated state,” says Hiroyuki Seimiya, a researcher on the study. Telomeres are…
As Chien (pronounced Chen) explains, to carry out fundamental life processes such as growing and dividing, cells must orchestrate, in time and location, the…
In 2011 and 2012, research from China’s Nanjing University made international headlines with reports that after mice ate, bits of genetic material from the…
“For more than 40 years, a few doses of penicillin were enough to take care of deadly bacterial infections,” says Hua Wang of the Ohio State University,…
