Working together at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Tel Aviv University, scientists have discovered when the number of water molecules in a cluster…
Why is antibody diversity important? Think about it like this, said Myron Goodman: “Why don’t you die when I sneeze? It’s because you have a powerful immune…
Individual human cells are small, just one or two hundredths of a millimetre in diameter. As such, special measuring equipment is needed to distinguish the…
Evolution has made its marks — large and small — in innumerable patterns of life. New research from Brown University shows chewing has evolved too.Researchers…
Building on current technologies that detect tumor cells circulating in blood, the Duke team was able to characterize these cells in a new way, illuminating…
When immune system B cells are alerted to the presence of a threat within the body, they form structures called germinal centers, which serve as ad hoc…
A team of researchers from the Agricultural Research Organization of Israel in collaboration from Evogene, Israel, report a method to obtain high quality…
However, two researchers at Texas Tech University have found that some birds eavesdrop on their enemies, using this information to find safer spots to build…
The study summarized the results from a ten year tagging program called the Tagging of Pacific Predators (TOPP). The TOPP program deployed 4,306 tags on 23…
“Our studies have uncovered a new therapeutic target for Huntington’s disease treatment and possibly for other neurodegenerative diseases,” said Dr. Ilya…
“People suggested that Runx3 might be a tumor suppressor in breast cancer because they found that it is down-regulated in a lot of breast cancer cell lines and…
Once thought to be a passive carrier of genetic information, RNA now is understood to perform a number of other vital roles in the cell, and its malfunction…
Using an innovative gene therapy technique called genome editing that hones in on the precise location of mutated DNA, scientists have treated the blood…
The achievement rests on a worldwide collaboration of scientists from 106 research institutions. The initiative, known as TRY, is hosted at the Max Planck…
While genetic inheritance is known to play a role in the multifactorial development of most diseases of the heart, there are also a number of clearly diagnosed…
Using the latest gene sequencing tools to examine so-called epigenetic influences on the DNA makeup of colon cancer, a Johns Hopkins team says its results…
