Larger test panel improves odds of identifying the same gene that links both conditions
To act as a robust barrier against pathogens while also absorbing needed nutrients, the lining of the intestines must regenerate on a daily basis to remain equal to the task.
Colorectal tumors are swarming with white blood cells, but whether these cells help or hinder the cancer is hotly debated.
An Auburn University research team from the College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Agriculture recently became the first to map a high-quality genome assembly of the blue catfish.
Regular smokers are at heightened risk of developing cardiovascular disease, but crushing the butts in favor of a “smokeless” alternative like chewing tobacco, snuff or tobacco lozenges may go a long way toward bringing the danger down to a more normal level, a new UCLA-led study shows.
The peptide is used by legumes to control nitrogen-fixing bacteria; it may also offer leads for treating patients with too much heme in their blood.
Advancement paves the way for a range of potential AFM novel applications and nano-scale discoveries
New techniques enable unprecedented versatility in the design of drug molecules.

The worldwide distribution of one of the most important cereal pathogens is the result of human activity.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have described the way an enzyme and proteins interact to maintain the protective caps, called telomeres, at the end of chromosomes, a new insight into how a human cell preserves the integrity of its DNA through repeated cell division.
Vaginal microbiota reflects the regulation of the duration of gestation and the onset of labour.
Ancient genomes from the herpes virus that commonly causes lip sores – and currently infects some 3.7 billion people globally – have been uncovered and sequenced for the first time by an international team involving UCL scientists.
An abandoned Caribbean colony unearthed centuries after it had been forgotten and a case of mistaken identity in the archaeological record have conspired to rewrite the history of a barrier island off the Virginia and Maryland coasts.
Scientists have identified more than 1,500 genetic differences between migratory and non-migratory hoverflies.
