Researchers identify the first circadian clock component conserved across all three domains of life.
Nanoparticles in mice can be switched on to activate insulin production using a radio signal.
Researchers identify two new DNA repair systems, in addition to four that were already known, that can attack unprotected telomeres.
Anxious mice are more likely to come down with aggressive skin cancer than those who show less stress on behavioral tests.
Telomeres are repetitive, noncoding sequences that cap the ends of linear chromosomes. They consist of hexameric nucleotide sequences (TTAGGG in humans) repeated hundreds to thousands of times. Telomeres protect the protein-coding sequences of DNA on
Using surface plasmon resonance to improve antibody detection and characterization: four case studies
Telomeres have been linked to numerous diseases over the years, but how exactly short telomeres cause diseases and how medicine can prevent telomere erosion are still up for debate.
Chinese scientists claim to have cloned a lamb carrying a roundworm gene that aids in the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
A scientist who claimed to have injected monkey embryonic stem cells into the eyes of rats to improve their vision accepts the penalty for research misconduct.
