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
Genes that react to cellular sugar content are regulated by a long non-coding RNA via an unexpected mechanism
From accounts of deformed animals to scratch-and-sniff technology, Robert Boyle's early contributions to the Royal Society of London were prolific and wide ranging.
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.
Remarkable findings of ingested plant miRNA in animal liver and blood draw speculation about the study’s validity.
Scientists test which mutations underlie metabolic diseases that may benefit from changes in diet.
