While looking for lab-grown antibodies that can activate a growth-stimulating receptor on marrow cells, a team of scientists at the Lerner lab discovered a way…
While working with mice, Yale researchers used a process known as differentiation to successfully identify cells with certain types of receptors that could eventually morph…
UCLA scientists have developed a NanoVelcro Chip that can detect and isolate single cancer cells from patient blood samples for analysis. Researchers at the University…
In a newly published study, scientists have shown that an oxysterol called 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC) suppresses HIV growth in vivo. A team of researchers led by…
By using a computational method to capture the various shapes of the p53 protein, a protein that is implicated in nearly 40 percent of diagnosed…
Using a noncatalytic protein scaffold, a team of researchers at the University of Minnesota have generated the first artificial enzyme created by in vitro directed…
A new study from researchers at Harvard University shows that rates of protein synthesis are affected by environmental perturbations, resulting in certain sequences that manufacture…
Genetic diversity and long periods of time are things that are crucial for evolutionary adaptation. This made scientists wonder why invasive species, lacking genetic diversity,…
The enzyme protein kinase M-ζ (PKM-ζ) was thought to be a fixture of long-term memory, as its inhibition could erase old memories, whilst adding it…
Researchers have developed a lab-made material that can move itself using the building blocks found inside cells. The scientists published their findings in the journal…
Nicolas Navin wanted to work out the sequence from individual cancer cells to see how they had mutated and diverged as the cancer grew. Back…
A new study on the development of priapulids, known colloquially as penis worms, throws doubt on a feature that has been thought to define one…
A newly published paper from researchers at Yale University looks at the process of splicing RNA at the atomic level, establishing RNA’s chemical and structural…
A team of scientists designed proteins from scratch to have a high affinity and high specificity for targets on flu viruses, validating the two best…
Researchers that claimed that the GFAJ-1 bacterium had a preference for arsenic instead of phosphorous in its DNA have been somewhat refuted. A new study…
The venom of the black mamba snake can kill humans within 20 minutes, but among those deadly compounds are two snake proteins, called mambalgins, that…
New genetic modification techniques have allowed geneticists to engineer cows that secrete allergen-free milk and pigs that can serve as models for atherosclerosis. The cows…
