An enzyme called cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) regulates the cell cycle and may have the potential to drive therapeutic ...

A team led by University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health geneticists has shown, for the first time, that a gene "silencer" that resides in junk DNA is directly sparing people from a devastating ...

Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup.

The Biodiversity Survey of the Cape (BioSCape) in South Africa’s Greater Cape Floristic Region aims to test the limits and potential of remote sensing for biodiversity applications. Integrating ...

Cell cycle re-entry of senescent breast cancer cells after CDK4/6 inhibition (CDK4/6i) constitutes a major source of disease ...

Liquid crystals are substances that flow like a liquid but maintain some of the ordered structure of crystals. Liquid-crystal molecules tend to be elongated and to orient in specific directions ...

For decades, scientists have tried to stop cancer by disabling the mutated proteins that are found in tumors. But many ...

Danés, principal investigator of the Cancer and Stem Cell Biology Lab at the Champalimaud Foundation, in Lisbon, has shown ...

WITH the July issue, which began the thirty-seventh semi-annual volume, the Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards, a monthly periodical published by the U.S. Department of ...

Proteins are biopolymers of amino acids (polypeptides), joined by peptide bonds, that are generated by ribosomes. The amino acid sequence, encoded by its gene, determines a protein’s structure ...

Low- and middle-income countries are under-represented in research into the gut microbiome, and addressing this is key to understanding the link between gut-resident microorganisms and health.

Gene therapy involves the introduction of new genes into cells, to restore or add gene expression, for the purpose of treating disease. Most commonly a mutated gene is replaced with DNA encoding a ...
