An international collaboration of scientists from the Yale School of Medicine and Turkey may have discovered humanity's beneficiary – a tiny variation within a…
In a new study, published online in Nature Chemical Biology on May 15, 2011, the researchers show the new compounds powerfully and selectively block the…
Gene expression is the process of converting the genetic information encoded in DNA into a final gene product such as a protein or any of several types of RNA.Scientists have long thought that the gene programs regulated by different physiological processes throughout the body are robustly pre-determined and relatively fixed for every specialized cell. But a new study by researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine reveals the unsuspected plasticity of some of these gene expression programs….
A team of researchers, led by King's College London and the University of Oxford, have found that a gene linked to type 2 diabetes and cholesterol levels is in…
The VDR study will be presented at the ATS 2011 International Conference.”Our results show that this gene variant is associated with development of COPD in…
The study will be presented at the ATS 2011 International Conference.”Our data suggests that evaluating gene expression changes in nasal cells found in the…
All of the tissues and organs of the body arise from one of three embryonic precursors: the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. The ectoderm contributes to…
Genetically modified (GM) tomatoes look much the same as traditional varieties. But are they? By comparing the chemical diversity of strains of GM tomatoes…
Recent findings suggest that, not only do different codas mean different things, but that whales can also tell which member of their community is speaking…
RELEVANCE: Like the Wnt signaling pathway, notum is highly conserved throughout species, from sea anenomes to fruit flies to humans, but little is known about…
RELEVANCE: Planarians are animal models of regeneration, and for the scientists that study them, the developmental potential of individual neoblasts has long…
According to the study, the Enterobacter bacterium is part of the naturally occurring microbial flora of the mosquito’s gut and kills the parasite by producing…
A rapid pain response to extreme temperatures is of vital importance to prevent being burned by touching a hot object or accidentally swallowing scolding soup,…
An international group of nearly 100 scientists from the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) led by researchers from the Microbial Genomics and Bioinformatics…
The researchers showed in mice that the Ras interacting protein 1 (Rasip1) is so specific and central to so many cellular processes that without it new blood…
Extending their vibration-sensitive whiskers, the mammals are almost as efficient at pursuing their quarry as they would be if guided by sight. Wolf Hanke and…
