New evidence supports the existence of genetic 'sieve' on the path from vaginal tract to bloodstream...
The Down’s syndrome “super genome”
Researchers have found that children born with Down’s syndrome have an excellent genome – better, in fact than the average genome of people without the genetic abnormality...
EXD2 enzyme identified as key player in mitochondrial protein synthesis
A team of researchers led by IRB Barcelona in Spain have identified a key function of the enzyme EXD2 as being the maintenance of protein production in the mitochondria.
HLF gene protects blood stem cells by maintaining them in a resting state
The HLF gene is necessary for maintaining our blood stem cells in a resting state, which is crucial for ensuring normal blood production.
Research enables screening millions of human antibodies for new drug discovery
Researchers have outlined a pioneering method of screening a person’s diverse set of antibodies for rapid therapeutic discovery.

Researchers have identified a protein produced by the immune system that could be responsible for the development of cocaine addiction...
Study reveals how MRSA infection compromises lymphatic function
MRSA infection impairs the ability of lymphatic vessels to pump lymphatic fluid to lymph nodes in mouse models, which may contribute to the frequent recurrences of MRSA infection experienced by patients.
Final numbers are in: 42 million protein molecules in a yeast cell
Researchers have officially revealed the abundance of protein molecules in a single cell runs into the tens of millions: around 42 million, to be precise.
New study offers insights on genetic indicators of COPD risk
Researchers have discovered that genetic variations in the anatomy of the lungs could serve as indicators to help identify people who are particularly at risk for COPD...
Blood-vessel-on-a-chip provides insight into new anti-inflammatory drug candidate
Researchers have discovered that synthetic APC-mimicking molecules provide anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic protection to endothelial cells without interfering with blood clotting...
