Inhibitors are not available to date. In collaboration with researchers of the ETH Zurich, Switzerland, scientists at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut have now…
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Biochemistry in Martinsried near Munich, Germany, recently identified the genetic switch that regulates the…
When the body senses an infection, one of the first lines of defense is to send immune molecules called host-derived antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to target…
Mark Rubin, M.D., professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, said although fewer than 2 percent of men with prostate…
The National Atmospheric Deposition Program collects rainfall samples weekly from more than 250 stations across the United States and analyzes them for…
Mammals are born with functioning but not-yet-developed brains. After birth, external stimuli and internal programs continue to shape the connections between…
Social insect society is divided into specialized castes that take on different roles within the nest. Most of the members of a colony – the workers – forego…
The new installment from the world's largest scientific society explains in non-technical language that gene therapy involves the use of beneficial genes to…
These scientific advances, achieved by Professor Michel Sylvestre of Centre INRS–Institut Armand-Frappier in conjunction with U.S. and Indian researchers, will…
They have designed and successfully synthesized a variant of a protein that nature uses to manufacture the essential amino acid histidine. It is more than…
This is the system that regulates such functions as impulse control and mood. It takes 12 years before a corresponding decrease is seen in men. This is the…
Researchers in the longitudinal project Göteborg Alcohol Research Project (GARP) have been investigating the dopamine D2 receptor gene and found that a variant…
In contrast, mature cells in children and adults depend more on cell mitochondria to convert sugar and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water during a high…
The researchers studied middle-aged and older mice that consumed either a higher or lower GI diet. Mice fed the lower GI diet developed fewer and less-severe…
The gene is Prox1. Earlier work led by Guillermo Oliver, Ph.D., a member of the St. Jude Department of Genetics, showed Prox1 was essential for formation and…
It’s not just what’s inside the cell that counts; its surroundings are important too. For example, the extracellular matrix plays an important role in…
