Myosin provides model for nanomachines
Cannabidiol shown to affect emotion and emotional memory
KL4 could improve efficiency in stem cell generation
Vitamin C is up to ten times more effective at stopping cancer cell growth than pharmaceuticals such as 2-DG, according to an article published in Oncotarget
A new research programme has been launched to produce all the human secreted proteins in mammalian cell factories. The programme aims to facilitate studies of this important class of proteins, which are involved in many human diseases.
How do tumours grow? And how do bacteria transform harmless substances into medical agents? When biophysicists want to understand what is happening in living cells, they have to introduce fluorescent probes or other foreign molecules. There are several ways to overcome the cell wall without causing the cell permanent harm.
Believed by many to be a relic of past centuries, tuberculosis (TB) causes more deaths than any other infectious disease including HIV/AIDs. In 2015 there were an estimated 10.4 million new cases of TB and 1.4 million deaths from the disease.
New research has identified sections of DNA associated with altered regulation of gene expression underlying schizophrenia.
Cells behave differently when removed from their environments, just as cells that develop in cultures do not behave like cells in living creatures.
Our blood stem cells generate around a thousand billion new blood cells every day. But the blood stem cells’ capacity to produce blood changes as we age. This leads to older people being more susceptible to anaemia, lowered immunity and a greater risk of developing certain kinds of blood cancer.
Obesity is associated with reduced muscle mass and impaired metabolism. Epigenetic changes that affect the formation of new muscle cells may be a contributing factor, according to new research from Lund University, Sweden.
Autonomous driving, automatic speech recognition, and the game Go: Deep Learning is generating more and more public awareness.
Stem cells are among the most energetically activated, migratory and proliferative sub-populations of tumour cells, according to observations by scholars at the Biomedical Research Centre at the University of Salford.
Successful compound management and biological sample management stand as key enablers within the drug discovery process...
