A stomach bacterium believed to cause health problems such as gastritis, ulcers, and gastric cancer may play a dual role by balancing the stomach's ecosystem…
This study evaluated the tumoral texture analysis on baseline and post-treatment CT scans of 31 patients with localized resectable esophageal cancer patients…
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Göttingen – in collaboration with…
However, clues may come from examination of specimens from similar outbreaks. This approach has recently been taken by scientists at the University of…
In the world of microscopy, this advance is almost comparable to the leap from photography to live television. Two young EPFL researchers, Yann Cotte and Fatih…
The proteins that have now been identified shouldn’t actually exist. Nevertheless, they build the core of cellular aggregates whose identity has been enigmatic…
Scientists of the MPI Biochemistry have now established that adding chemical tags on histones is critical for regulating gene activity during animal…
This maturation process is called differentiation and is tightly regulated through strict control of gene activity. If the regulation is lost, specialized…
Scientists have long puzzled over why “bad” bacteria such as E. coli can thrive in the guts of those with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), causing serious…
When a pathogen attacks a plant, infection usually follows after the plant's immune system is compromised. A team of researchers at the University of…
TRAIL is a natural anti-tumor protein that suppresses tumor development during immune surveillance — the immune system's process of patrolling the body for…
Jeffrey Joy has discovered that symbiosis — a relationship between two or more organisms that can be parasitic or mutualistic — is as much the mother of…
You might think you have nothing in common with mustard except hotdogs. Yet based on research in a plant from the mustard family, Salk scientists have…
Humans survive by constantly recycling iron, a metal that is an essential component of red blood cells, but which is toxic outside of those cells. More than 90…
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have devised a way to detect whether cells previously transplanted into a living animal are alive or dead, an innovation they say…
