Researchers from University College Cork in Ireland studied the interaction between the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is often associated with severe…
In the April 23, 2010, issue of Immunity, Drs. Brian Stadinski, John Kappler and George Eisenbarth propose that the unusual and rare presentation of protein…
John Vederas, a U of A chemistry researcher working with colleagues in Ireland, found that a strain of the common soil bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis,…
No other animals are known to make the potent antioxidants. Until now scientists thought the only way animals could obtain the orangey-red compounds was from…
A team of scientists led by the Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute (JGI) and the University of California, Berkeley, is publishing this week the…
Much scientific attention is directed at understanding how this innate immune system is turned on, but little to how it is cooled down or regulated. That is…
Researchers have identified the genetic cause of mirror movements, where affected people are unable to move one side of the body without moving the other. For…
In research published in the April 30th edition of Cell, a team of Whitehead Institute researchers describes a pausing step in the transcription process that…
Combine liquid crystals (mesogens) and metal clusters and you get clustomesogens—a new class of compounds, the first examples of which have now been produced…
Contrary to popular belief, aphids are not just sap-sucking, plant-destroying enemies of agriculture. In fact, these pests are genetic pioneers that evolved…
Now Hugo Luján, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute international research scholar, reports that Giardia's extensive wardrobe of surface proteins might actually…
Scientists at Ohio State University are experimenting with different nanoparticles that they hope may one day be injected into the blood of patients and help…
In findings that may speed the search for disease-causing genes, a new study challenges the prevailing view that common diseases are usually caused by common…
When the human body becomes infected with new influenza viruses, the immune system rapidly activates an inborn protective mechanism to inhibit the intruding…
Led by University of Illinois electrical and computer engineering professor Gabriel Popescu, the team developed a model that could lead to breakthroughs in…
The compounds – fluorescent inhibitors of the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) – could have broad applications for detecting tumors earlier, monitoring a…
