A team of researchers from Yale University have discovered a new species of giant tortoise in the Galapagos. A few hundred giant tortoises living on…
Scientists from UCLA have produced the clearest-ever images of telomerase. This new research could lead to new strategies for treating disease, aging, and cancer. An…
A newly published study from Yale University reveals that a person’s brain activity appears to be as unique as his or her fingerprints. These brain…
By using epigenetic information from just nine regions of the human genome, a new algorithm can predict the sexual orientation of males with up to…
In a newly published study, neuroscientists from MIT and Columbia University reveal how neurons in one part of the brain measure time intervals and accurately…
Using a new technique based on dynamic nuclear polarization, scientists hope to gain more insight into protein structure and function. Proteins can fold in different…
A new study from Yale University reveals that miR-148a modifies LDL receptors in liver cells of both mice and humans and suppresses a gene that…
By producing photoreceptors from human embryonic stem cells, researchers from the University of Montreal have taken a major step forward in the fight against age-related…
In a newly published study, neuroscientists from MIT reveal evidence that the brain’s inferotemporal cortex can identify objects. When the eyes are open, visual information…
