Researchers from the University of Nottingham have shown that in some organisms the genetic switches that control DNA replication are unnecessary and that cells will…
By targeting mitochondria with the anticancer drug cisplatin, chemists have developed a new way to kill cancer cells that have shown resistance to cisplatin. Cisplatin…
A James Cook University researcher has discovered three new vertebrate species in north-east Australia, a leaf-tail gecko, a golden-colored skink and a boulder-dwelling frog. A…
New research from UNC Health Care and UNC School of Medicine shows that dendrites actively process information, multiplying the brain’s computing power. Chapel Hill, North…
For the first time, scientists have fundamentally changed the genetic code of an organism, raising the possibility that researchers might be able to retool nature…
Using adipose stem cells from human liposuction aspirates, scientists have developed a fast, efficient way to turn cells extracted from routine liposuction into liver cells….
A new hair restoration method developed by researchers at Columbia University Medical Center is the first to induce new human hair growth. New York, New…
In a new study, researchers identified the agents that could be responsible for many leukemias without TET2 mutation. This finding could help doctors develop a…
Researchers have identified a RAS-regulated pathway that initiates and maintains the epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes in mice, a finding that may help provide…
A newly published study takes a closer look at the “inside” of Einstein’s brain, revealing that the unusually well connected right and left hemispheres of…
A new analysis of little-explored regions of the human genome has revealed dozens of cancer triggers. A massive data analysis of natural genetic variants in…
In a newly published study, University of Rochester researchers show that better-constructed proteins are the key to the naked mole rat’s longevity and health. Naked…
In two newly published studies, researchers show how mitochondria play a key role in the body’s ability to control weight gain. Becoming obese or remaining…
In a newly published study, Yale University geneticists report that three factors — Nanog, Pou5f1 (or Oct4) and SoxB1 — are indeed needed to push…
In a newly published study, researchers from Penn State University detail the discovery of the origins of genomic “dark matter.” A duo of scientists at…
New research from biochemists at the UNC School of Medicine offers an intriguing new view on how life began, challenging current assumptions about the origins…
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute have discovered a microbe that is rejuvenated every time it reproduces. While aging remains an inevitable fact of life,…
