Researchers at the University of North have discovered how hepatitis C binds with and repurposes a basic component of cellular metabolism known as a microRNA…
A motor protein that transports cargo within the cell, km23-1 is also involved in the movement or migration of cells. Migration is necessary for cancer to…
Associate Professor Sang-Moo Kang and his collaborators have found a way to make the one-time vaccine by using recombinant genetic engineering technology that…
Researchers at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences developed a method for producing antimony microelectrodes that allow for…
Unfortunately, the administration dose of anthracyclines is limited by their cardiotoxicity and the development of drug-resistance of tumors. In addition, the…
Their study, published in the Dec. 18 online edition of Molecular Cancer Research, is the first to link the enzyme PRSS3 to prostate cancer. “This molecule is…
By synthesizing a stable “antiaromatic” compound, as well as a never before seen intermediate version of that compound, chemists at The University of Texas at…
Scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology have published the whole genome sequence of bacteria associated with Jamaican sugarcane and Riesling grapevines…
Be it a battery or a fuel cell, efficient electrodes are the be-all and end-all of every electrochemical cell. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a team of…
“We detected thousands of unique microbial species, many of which seem particularly well-suited for atmospheric transport,” says first author David J. Smith, a…
Turning vast amounts of genomic data into meaningful information about the cell is the great challenge of bioinformatics, with major implications for human…
The capsid enveloping a virus is essential for protection and propagation of the viral genome. Many viruses have evolved a self-assembly method which is so…
The gonad is well known to be important for reproduction but also affects animal life span. Removal of germ cells – the sperm and egg producing cells –…
The advance will be published in the Jan 8 issue of Nature Biotechnology and also will be available today on the journal's website. “Although we and others…
Immunotherapies — which make use of patients' own immune cells that have been augmented in the laboratory — have shown some early success in the treatment of…
Diatoms (unicellular photosynthetic organisms) reproduce through asexual cell division alternating with short periods of sexual reproduction. A German and…
