New biological research may be relevant to the effects of a mother's high-fat diet during pregnancy on the development of obesity in her children. An animal…
Chemists at the University of California, Riverside have developed tiny, nanoscale-size rods of iron oxide particles in the lab that respond to an external…
This breakthrough leads to insights in the first molecular step of a complex epigenetic decoding process. The research published today in “Nature…
The study, led by W. Sean Davidson, PhD, professor in UC's pathology and laboratory medicine department, appears online ahead of print March 13, 2011, in the…
Researchers have provided new clues into the genetics underlying a chronic form of liver disease, called primary biliary cirrhosis, which can lead to…
Blended electrophysiological, biochemical, and behavioral experiments, Minghong Ma, PhD, an associate Professor of Neuroscience at the University of…
Before now, the fluid surrounding the brain was generally considered to be a sort of salt-solution that simply maintained the brain's ionic balance. Recent…
“We want to accelerate the discovery of new compounds that can be turned into effective drugs,” said Professor Tony Maxwell from the John Innes Centre, a key…
The researchers, from The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, found that neurons lacking a substance called caspase-2 were better able to…
Minute whiskers of nanoscale dimensions taken from sea creatures could hold the key to creating working human muscle tissue, University of Manchester…
The finding sheds first-ever light on the molecular-level mechanisms of plant cell dedifferentiation, offering fundamental insights on wound-induced organ…
Stem cells derived from a patient’s own bone marrow were safely used in pediatric patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), according to results of a Phase I…
Earth's biodiversity—the number of microorganisms, plants, and animals, their genes, and their ecosystems (such as rainforests and grasslands)—is declining at…
The study, published on March 10, 2011, in Science Express, an advance, online publication of selected research from the journal Science, provides important…
Good chemists are passive-aggressive — they manipulate molecules without actually touching them. In a feat of manipulating substances at the nanoscale, UCLA…
However, genebanks are modern institutions that were established after many of the old cultivars were no longer in use. The seeds stored for old cultivars were…
