Unlike people, certain monkey species, such as rhesus or night monkeys, are resistant to HIV thanks to TRIM5, a cellular protein: In the case of an HIV…
As partners in the international research consortium named MetaHit, scientists from the University of Copenhagen have contributed to show that an individual's…
Researchers at Rice University and Texas A&M have discovered a way to pattern active proteins into bio-friendly fibers. The “eureka” moment came about because…
The finding upends long-held thinking that plants' speciation rates are tied to the first development of a new physical trait or mechanism. The research has…
An Ohio State biophysicist used a supercomputer to search thousands of molecular combinations for the best configuration to block a protein that can cause…
Their findings, published in the April issue of the Journal for Clinical Investigation, show how this combination approach kills tumor cells in both mouse…
Consumers decide whether to use mail-in genetic tests based on both rational and emotional reasons, a finding that adds to a growing body of health-care…
Scientists at the University of Missouri report on a discovery in a key component in the signaling pathway that regulates the production of phytoalexins to…
Stanford researchers have developed a new biosensor microchip that could significantly speed up the process of drug development. The microchips, packed with…
The fruit flies were engineered to carry and express a mutated human FUS gene. This mutated FUS gene has been shown to be one of the major causes of both…
“Animals that clone themselves, in which part of an individual’s body is passes on to the next generations, have particularly interesting conditions related to…
When flies visit your party, be glad they don't bring their entire family. Houseflies have more than 152,000 cousins. And those are just the ones we know…
The car of the future could be propelled by a fuel cell powered with hydrogen. But what will the fuel tank look like? Hydrogen gas is not only explosive but…
University of Missouri researchers believe both man and animal will benefit from their discovery that the same gene mutation found in Tibetan Terrier dogs can…
Researchers compared the response of synthetic skins to rat skin when they were both exposed to a generic skin cream treatment, and the results indicated they…
The programs to develop these cells have been passed on ever since. The study which is published online by Nature Genetics has been supported by the GEN-AU…
