Sweeping the ocean floor at hundreds of points throughout the world, researchers have revealed an astonishing diversity of microscopic life thriving in the deepest and darkest parts of our planet.The sediment collected at…

Scientists have built the tiniest antenna ever made – just five nanometers in length. Unlike its much larger counterparts we're all familiar with, this minuscule thing isn't made to transmit radio waves, but to glean the secrets…

The prokaryotic clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (CRISPR/Cas) protein system has been reconstructed for a revolutionary targeted genome modification platform and nucleic acid detection…

B-cell lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that originates in B cells. It is the most common type of lymphoma and about 85% of all lymphomas in the United States is B cell. Depending on the type and stage of the lymphoma, treatment…

When cells are exposed to ionizing radiation, more destructive chain reactions may occur than previously thought. An international team led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg has for the first…

In the central nervous system, microglial cells play critical roles in development, aging, brain homeostasis, and pathology. Recent studies have shown variation in the gene-expression profile and phenotype of microglia across brain regions…

#Cancer, like the illicit drug trade, is hard to disrupt because it is a hierarchical operation. The low-level players are the easiest targets, but the high-level players would make the best targets—if only they could be reached. Too often,…

Studies of the genomic #DNA compaction in the cell nucleus and dynamic reorganization during #physiologic processes or #disease development in live-cell environments are exceedingly challenging. This complexity stems from a high degree of…

A joint research group drove by Prof. Fu Qiaomei from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences sequenced the old genomes of 31 people from southern #East #Asia, subsequently…

As an #oncologist, Adam Dicker has perceived how #cancer therapies can wallop the body to take out tumors, now and again prompting breaking down bones, more contaminations, and haywire sleep cycles. Yet, others have noticed comparative…
