A growing body of research shows that birds and other animals change their behavior in response to human noise, such as the din of traffic or the hum of…
Working with genetically engineered mice and the genomes of thousands of people with schizophrenia, researchers at Johns Hopkins say they now better understand…
Advances in chemotherapy have dramatically improved the outlook for many cancer patients, but the side effects of this treatment are daunting. A new generation…
The technique could lead to affordable personalized medicine, potentially revealing predispositions for afflictions such as cancer, diabetes or addiction.”There is a clear path to a workable, easily produced sequencing platform,” said Jens Gundlach, a University of Washington physics professor who leads the research team. “We augmented a protein nanopore we developed for this purpose with a molecular motor that moves a DNA strand through the pore a nucleotide at a time.”…
On one hand, medications need to escape detection by the immune system in order to perform their function. But vaccinations — de-activated versions of a…
Theoretical chemists like Dr. £ukasz Tomasz Rajchel (University of Warsaw) are familiar with that. However, they – or rather their computers – are not capable…
What we believe to see in one of the most famous optical illusions changes in a split second; and so does the path that the information takes in the brain. In…
The results, which are presented in Nature, may provide future treatments of intestinal diseases and obesity.There are ten times more bacteria in our…
The findings, based on an analysis of more than two dozen large-scale clinical trials, are contained in a peer-reviewed study published online by The American…
Drugs such as sedatives, hypnotics, and anticonvulsants often contain a benzodiazepine moiety. They are useful in the treatment of, for example, anxiety,…
Readers whose mother tongue is Arabic have more challenges reading in Arabic than native Hebrew or English speakers have reading their native languages,…
The dendritic cells adopt an ingenious approach here – they not only produce special substances with a cell-damaging effect, they also manage to fight the…
When the cell’s DNA proofreading system encounters a mismatch in the genome, a number of repair proteins are thrown into action, ripping up the mistake and…
The protein, known as S100PBP, does this by suppressing a second protein called cathepsin Z. The research team has shown that cathepsin Z makes pancreatic…
Now, David Artis, PhD, associate professor of Microbiology, along with postdoctoral fellow David Hill, PhD, from the Perelman School of Medicine at the…
A new study by Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) researchers has harnessed data and new analysis tools to address this question in four common diseases:…
