The study, led by Tony Godfrey, Ph.D., a research associate professor of Surgery at the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center at URMC, was published by the journal…
Diseases such as cancer are characterized by altered genes, but also by disturbed protein production. But how is protein production controlled? Researchers of…
Jaws made of bone are commonplace in the animal kingdom. However, how jaws developed in the course of evolution is still a mystery. Under the direction of…
If soil dries out, plants have to restrict their water consumption. To do this, they produce the hormone abscisic acid in their roots and send it along the…
“People drink green tea for health benefits, so they want the catechins to be present,” said Lisa Mauer, a professor of food science. “The instant powder…
One technology platform that is well suited for in vivo delivery of genes is based on adeno-associated viruses (AAV). As these novel therapies move closer to…
Plant biologists at The University of Nottingham have also discovered that the same mechanism that controls germination is responsible for another important…
University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have discovered a method to quickly and exponentially grow regulatory T-cells – also known as “suppressor…
Upon testing different fragrances in a perfumery, the so-called top note, consisting of the most volatile odorants, is what characterizes a scent. These…
The technique, which pairs RIKEN’s Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) protocol with the Helicos® Genetic Analysis System developed by Helicos BioSciences…
Their experiments can be likened to restoring never-before-seen footage to a classic film. What’s more, Lee says that footage is crucial to the plot and helps…
Researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine have published a study that…
Octopuses are among the most developed invertebrates. They have large brains and are fast learners. With eight arms and no rigid skeleton, they perform many…
The concept of the phylotypic stage traces its roots back to early comparative observations of embryos from different vertebrate taxa, in which it was noted…
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown that cells capable of regenerating a zebrafish fin do not revert to stem cells…
“The first nervous systems appeared in jellyfish-like animals six hundred million years ago or so,” says Harold Zakon, professor of neurobiology, “and it was…
