New research from Yale University reveals a detailed catalog of human-specific changes in gene regulation and pinpoints several biological processes potentially guided by these regulatory…
New research from the Max Planck Institute details how the protein merlin regulates collective cell movement, promoting effective and rapid wound healing. Cells also follow…
A team of researchers has identified for the first time a gene (ARHGAP11B) that is only present in humans and contributes to the reproduction of…
A newly published study details a method called modular, early-tagged amplification (META) RNA profiling that can quantify a broad panel of microRNAs or mRNAs simultaneously…
New research from Yale University looks at the creation and expansion of white fat cells, and how these fat cells are created. Once fat cells…
A new study from Yale University shows that a protein that protects ticks from freezing temperatures also prevents frostbite when introduced in mice. This is…
New research from the Max Planck Institute shows that some bacteria can form nanotubular structures between single cells that enable a direct exchange of nutrients….
A newly published study from Yale University shows that adult hippocampal neural stem cells (NSCs) express vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) 3 and its…
A new study from Yale University observes how the appetite center of the brain responds to marijuana, revealing what drives the hunger brought about by…
While exploring whether a structured RNA molecule from a virus that infects eukaryotic cells could function in bacteria, scientists found that it could initiate protein…
By taking a closer look at feathers representing the evolutionary transition from dinosaurs to modern birds, Yale researchers demonstrate a better understanding of how feathers…
Scientists from UCLA have discovered an organism that hasn’t evolved in more than 2 billion years. An international team of scientists has discovered the greatest…
By studying miR-107 in zebrafish, Yale researchers have discovered that miR-107 plays a key role in early brain development, and perhaps in the development of…
Researchers from Yale University found that during seizures the arousal centers in the brain stem are actually suppressed, leading to a loss of consciousness. People…
By scanning the brains of people engaged in selective attention to sensations, researchers from Brown University have learned how the brain appears to coordinate the…
Yale researchers have identified an unexpected relationship between mtDNA and the innate immune response, showing a new source of inflammation that could promote common diseases…
A new computational study shows how cancer cells take advantage of the system by which cells communicate with their neighbors as they pass messages to…
