New research enhances the current knowledge of how human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1), which causes AIDS, controls the cell cycle of cells that it…
Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have made an important discovery concerning how fledgling cancer cells self-destruct, which has the potential of impacting…
They show in mice that lack the star player “JNK1”, that newborn neurons spend less time in the multipolar stage, which is when the cells prepare for…
With the genetics of so many organisms that have different traits yet to study, and with the techniques for gathering full sets of genetic information from…
Downregulating activity is how healthy genes should shift out of their development cycle. The results, published in this week’s Current Biology, discuss how…
“Right now a medical doctor analyzing the blood of an ailing patient looks at something like 10 to 20 chemicals,” said U of A biochemist David Wishart. “We've…
The research team, led by Dr Lorenzo Frigerio, looked at two proteins that are members of the large family of “Major Intrinsic Proteins”, or MIPs, which are…
A team involving University of Tennessee, Knoxville, researchers has conducted the first-ever genetic sequencing of a harmful algal bloom (HAB) species,…
A lab at Rice University has stepped forward with an efficient method to disperse nanotubes in a way that preserves their unique properties — and adds more. The new technique allows inorganic metal complexes with different functionalities to remain in close contact with single-walled carbon nanotubes while keeping them separated in a solution. …
In a major advance for schizophrenia research, an international team of scientists led by the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and…
The early positive signs for so-called prion diseases come from research in laboratory mice and cell cultures, they say in a report in ACS' Journal of…
It may seem paradoxical, but being part of a crowd is what makes you unique, according to UCLA life scientists.Biologists Kimberly Pollard and Daniel Blumstein…
To the naked eye, both water molecules and germs are invisible — objects so tiny they are measured by the nanometer, a unit of length about 100,000 times…
But previous attempts to design these nanoparticles by changing their shape have failed because the structures are unstable and will revert back to their…
While these levels are higher than traditional intakes, they are largely in a range deemed safe for daily use in a December 2010 report from the National…
This bundle of nerve fibers, which is approximately 0.3 mm thick, is not exclusively responsible for optic information. In the blind, it might play a greater…
