Autoimmune diseases, such as Type I diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, are caused by an immune system gone haywire, where the body's defense system assaults…
Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center have revealed how a mutation in a single gene is responsible for the inability of neurons to effectively…
Eight European research institutes, including Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in Germany, and three commercial partners have joined forces in an EU…
The future will be dominated by organic electronics, as opposed to current silicon-based technology. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, an international team of…
While biologists regularly discover new species in remote rain forests, finding this one in the ponds and marshes of Staten Island, mainland New York and New…
In the report, an Australian scientist explains how he used computer simulations to discover that a population starting from a single human immunodeficiency…

These signatures can predict the expression of a wound-healing protein in reprogrammed skin cells or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), cells that take on…
Over the last few decades there has been an explosion in the discovery of biomarkers for diagnosis, disease monitoring, and prognostic evaluation. In the April…
The infected tumor cells release a protein called CCN1 into the narrow space between cells where it initiates an antiviral response. The response limits the…
Throughout their life, plants form leaves and side roots. These two types of organs have something in common: their development is finely tuned by small…
The laser beam can be used to selectively fight weeds in an early growth stage. This is the result of a current research project between the Laser Zentrum…
A novel type of sensor, based on nanometer-scale pores in a semiconductor membrane, is a step closer to practical use in applications such as analyzing the…
Scientists have made many important discoveries in biology and medicine through studying the internal contents of cells. Some have isolated or identified…
Starting with the first-ever production of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) in 2006, cell reprogramming – the genetic conversion of cells from one…
