Although more research is needed, the researchers say the discovery is an important step in understanding why some tumors spread (metastasize) and others…
“Nature,” she said of her table-top illustration, “doesn't want lots of little things.” So Thiel grabbed the smaller things and slid them into a single pile…
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a biologically important molecule that is very similar to DNA, the blueprint of life. Naturally occurring RNAs, such as transfer RNA…
Researchers at RIKEN have successfully developed a revolutionary new polymer film that changes shape upon irradiation with UV and visible light. Described in…
Researchers at the University of Cambridge hope to revolutionise cancer therapy after discovering one of the reasons why many previous attempts to harness the…
The research, by an international collaboration of scientists led by Emory University, will be published in the American Journal of Human Genetics. Lead author…
The debate over genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is heated. One of the arguments against them is that it is unnatural to mix genes from different species….
