Their discovery in mice is likely to further fuel a recent scramble by researchers to identify roles for long-neglected bits of DNA within the genomes of mice…
As small and active flying mammals, bats have very high mass-specific energy requirements and as such continually adjust their rates of activity and metabolism…
Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition where lung tissue becomes thickened, stiff and scarred. Currently in the United States, there are no drugs approved for use…
How do nerve cells — which can each be up to three feet long in humans — keep from rupturing or falling apart?Axons, the long, cable-like projections on…
Plants exchange gases, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, with the atmosphere via special openings in their leaves, known as stomata. A ring-shaped arrangement…
Microfluidic devices deal with the behavior, precise control and manipulation of fluids that are geometrically constrained to sub-millimeter scale. This new…
Among scientists, the fish are meticulously studied for their tendency to develop melanoma and for other attributes more common to mammals, like courting…
A new hypothesis has been developed by researchers in Bochum on how Alzheimer's disease could occur. They analysed the interaction of the proteins FE65 and BLM…
An international team of researchers led by scientists from Rockefeller’s St. Giles Laboratory of Human Genetics and Infectious Diseases has now identified the…
Now, a new screening process will simplify non-viral transfection, providing a method researchers and clinicians use to find an optimal set of biomaterials to…
Identifying genetic programs that maintain self-renewing capabilities therefore is a vital step in understanding the errors that derail a normal stem cell,…
“We identified gossypin as a novel agent with dual inhibitory activity towards two common mutations that are the ideal targets for melanoma treatment,” said…
The results may help to explain why certain medications have strong side effects on sperm and eggs, and why certain organisms remain unaffected by…
This property could be used to protect against infections in patients undergoing bone marrow transplants, while their immune system reconstitutes itself…
Humans depend on the ocean for food, medicine, transportation and recreation, yet little is known about how these vast ecosystems spanning 70 percent of the…
A comprehensive marine biodiversity observation network could be established with modest funding within 5 years, according to an expert assessment published in…
