For better and for worse, human health depends on a cell's motility –– the ability to crawl from place to place. In every human body, millions of cells –are…
How the light-harvesting complexes required for photosynthesis get to their site of action in the plant cell is reported by RUB biologists in the Journal of…
If genes provide the blueprint for life and proteins are the machines that do much of the work for cells, then carbohydrates that are linked to proteins are…
The method, developed in cooperation with RainDance Technologies, is described in the Oct. 2011 issue of Genomics. Senior author Michael Zwick, PhD, assistant…
As planktonic organisms the larvae of the marine annelid Platynereis swim freely in the open water. They move by activity of their cilia, thousands of tiny…
The researchers, from Imperial College London, have demonstrated that they can build logic gates, which are used for processing information in devices such as…
Research underway at the Trudeau Institute could lead to new treatments for people sickened by Listeria and other sepsis-causing bacteria. Dr. Stephen Smiley's…
Scientists have previously found mutations that extend fruit fly lifespan, but this group of genes is distinct because it acts specifically in muscles. The…
European researchers showed in 2007 that the FTO gene was the major gene associated with obesity and type II diabetes, but the details of its physiological and…
The results are good news for the recreational and commercial anglers who pursue this popular game fish because this year class is expected to grow to fishable…
In a study published online in the journal Genome Research, investigators report the discovery of an abnormally large number of Fusobacterium cells in nine…
A protein that promotes the growth of neurons and blood vessels appears to stop the progression of a genetic disease that causes degeneration of the…
Sydney: Tuesday 18 October 2011 — There are more bacteria living on our skin and in our gut than cells in our body. We need them. But until now no-one knew…
The method is a special type of mass spectrometry which can be used on drugs ‘off the shelf’, i.e. without any radioactive labelling which may change the…
The gastrointestinal tract is lined with intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) that maintain gut health by keeping bacteria and pro-inflammatory immune cells from…
Now researchers, including a University of Washington biologist, have found hints that differing molecular processes in an area of the brain known as the…
