Chemists at UC Santa Barbara and University of Rome Tor Vergata have adapted some of these strategies to improve the performance of DNA detectors. Their…
Anyone who thinks amalgams are limited to tooth fillings is missing something: Amalgams, which are alloys of mercury and other metals, have been used for over…
In holoprosencephaly (HPE), the forebrain (prosencephalon) is only incompletely formed. Here a binding site (receptor) for cholesterol plays a key role. If…
This discovery, based on new research, challenges the widely held assumption that a period of explosive evolution quickly follows for survivors of mass…
Now, researchers with the UCLA Department of Radiation Oncology at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center report for the first time that radiation…
In a study of the molecular underpinnings of plants' pest resistance, Rice University biologists have shown that plants both anticipate daytime raids by hungry…
Premature infants’ immature lungs and frequent dips in blood pressure make them especially vulnerable to a condition called hypoxia in which their tissues…
These so-called superbugs are actually bacterial strains that produce an enzyme known as New Delhi metallo-â-lactamase (NDM-1). Bacteria that produce this…
Researchers have gained better understanding of the workings of two key proteins that control cell division. This process must be carried out accurately to…
2011 brought two of the deadliest bacterial outbreaks the world has seen during the last 25 years. The two epidemics accounted for more than 4,200 cases of…
Infections such as with human cytomegalovirus and a certain type of human polyomavirus frequently cause complications in transplant recipients. For these…
Drug researchers hunting for alternative ways to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections may soon have a novel target—its camouflage coat. HIV…
Shenzhen, China – In a new study published online in Nature Biotechnology, researchers from BGI, the world's largest genomics organization, reported the…
A novel discovery by researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center and colleagues reveals a mechanism by which the immune system tries to halt the spread of HIV….
A protein that protects some of our immune cells from the most common and virulent form of HIV works by starving the virus of the molecular building blocks…
Researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, have discovered the crucial role of two proteins in developing a cell 'anti-enzyme shield'….
