In physical, as in financial growth, it's not what you make but what you keep that counts, USC marine biologists believe.Their study of genes associated with…
“The victim can allow the enemy to remain and instead try to live with the consequences”, explains Erik Svensson, Professor of Animal Ecology at Lund…
Danish researchers who have studied ants at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama since 1992 discovered that in both ant and bee species in…
This was achieved by first producing a number of recombinant proteins which are important components of cellular signalling pathways. These proteins themselves…
“Our lab applies biological principles to create materials that can do many things, just like our skin protects us from both rain and sun,” said senior…
Hemangiomas — strawberry-like birthmarks that commonly develop in early infancy — are generally harmless, but up to 10 percent cause tissue distortion or…
Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have identified a feedback loop involving a growth-regulating circuit in intestinal cells, which helps…
The findings have been published online ahead of print publication in the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care…
Researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report that in a small study of women with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer,…
“The cells are seeing the same soluble proteins. In both cases it's the shape alone that's dictating whether they turn into fat or bone, and that hasn't been…
Lead researcher Tesfamariam Mekete, a U of I post-doctoral research associate, said the team's first step was to identify potential pathogenic nematodes of…
They are exploring whether their glassification technique could bring about protein-based drugs that are cheaper to make and easier to deliver than current…
Once the human genome was sequenced in 2001, the hunt was on for the genes that make each of us unique. But scientists at the European Molecular Biology…
The circadian clock, a 24-hour biological cycle governing everything from seasonal flowering to hormone secretion, has been the focus of intense attention in…
A study of the human genome led by Cedars-Sinai researchers has now identified genes linked to ulcerative colitis, offering clues as to what causes the…
Effective identification of these cells, referred to as circulating tumor cells (CTC's), could help guide treatment and improve quality of life for many cancer…
