A new study from University of California, Berkeley, researchers demonstrates that adult stem cells can reshape our organs in response to changes in the body…
But a study conducted by evolutionary biologists at the University of California, San Diego questions that longstanding paradigm. In a paper published in the…
However, the inability to target cells to tissues of interest poses a significant barrier to effective cell therapy. To address this hurdle, researchers at…
“How prey respond to the fear of being eaten is an important topic in ecology, and we've learned a great deal about how these responses affect predator and…
Until now, no model had been able to accurately imitate the effects of the disease in humans. For several years, research has been conducted in close…
Multiple sclerosis is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. For a long time, pathogens were believed to be such external influences.According to scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Martinsried, however, it is apparently not harmful bacteria that trigger multiple sclerosis, but beneficial ones – specifically, the natural intestinal flora, which every human being needs for digestion. The researchers discovered that genetically modified mice develop an inflammation in the brain similar to the human disease if they have normal bacterial intestinal flora….
By the time an anthrax victim realizes he or she has something worse than the flu and seeks treatment, it's often too late; even the most powerful antibiotics…
Growth of the human heart can be beneficial when resulting from exercise – a type of growth known as physiological cardiac hypertrophy – but damaging when…
Insulated in a luxuriously thick winter coat, reindeer are perfectly prepared for the gripping cold of an Arctic winter.But the pelt doesn't just keep the cold…
For a nerve cell to function properly, each protein must be in the right place.The tau protein, for example, has to be located in the axons – the long…
However, when their genomes were later sequenced, researchers were surprised to learn that the DNA sequences of human and chimpanzee genes are nearly…
That is the goal of a group of Johns Hopkins University undergraduate students who are using synthetic biology to enhance common yeast so that it yields beta…
