New genetic tool helps researchers to analyse cells’ most important functions
One common way of studying the role of genes in cells is to remove a gene and investigate the effect of the loss. Genes are very similar in both yeast and…
Antibiotic resistance spreads rapidly between bacteria
The results are published in an article in the scientific journal Nature Communications.More and more bacteria are becoming resistant to our common…
Mechanism for invasion of tumorous cells discovered …
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have discovered a previously unknown mechanism whereby tumor cells invade normal tissues, spreading cancer…
The self-made eye: Formation of optic cup from ES cells
Developmental processes are increasingly well-characterized at the molecular and cell biological levels, but how more complex tissues and organs involving the…
Study maps hotspots of genetic rearrangement
Researchers have zoomed in on mouse chromosomes to map hotspots of genetic recombination — sites where DNA breaks and reforms to shuffle genes.The findings of…
Researchers use zebrafish to identify new gene linked to melanoma
Thanks to the zebrafish, there is new hope for people with melanoma, an aggressive skin cancer that is responsible for approximately 8,700 deaths each year in…
