Researchers discover a unique technique to fight hospital-borne disease

A study team developed an early-stage therapy that sabotages the pump and restores antibiotic efficiency by disclosing the structure of a protein needed by bacteria to pump out antibiotics.

New insights into better crime scene investigation

Skin cells and their DNA varies between individuals, but new data from Flinders University shows that some groups of people have higher variability in their cell deposits.

Light-induced cellular apoptosis method can kill diseased cells without causing adverse reactions

Cancer has been the leading cause of death in Japan over the past 40 years. Despite the rise in patients due to the aging population, progresses in diagnosis and treatment are leading to higher survival rates.

Understanding how cleaning up bad mitochondria affects stem cell division

Most of us remember enough biology to recall that mitochondria are known as "the powerhouse of the cell." Even that audacious term may downplay the importance of mitochondria and what happens when mitochondria go bad.

ATM kinase inhibitor combines with target therapies to wipe out cancer cells

While cancer therapies that target specific genes or disease pathways might prolong life span, they can also result in highly resistant tumors when tiny reservoirs of cancer cells survive therapy, develop, and spread.

Researchers focus to create a new class of molecules for curing biofilm infections

Chronic skin wounds are a rising global issue among the elderly, individuals with severe burns, and people with underlying medical diseases such as diabetes.

Study explores that extra dosages of genes may lead to surplus X chromosomes

One out of every 500 to 1,000 boys is born with one or more extra X chromosomes, which can cause a variety of symptoms as the extra chromosomes to including infertility, larger breasts, osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiac problems, intellectual incapacity, and cancer.

Researchers determine major protein complexes that cause ribosome production

Scientists at UT Southwestern have discovered a four-protein complex that seems to play a significant function in the formation of ribosomes, which serve as protein factories for cells, as well as a surprise role in neurodevelopmental diseases.

Forensic science experts develop new insights into crime scene analysis

Individuals deposit skin cells and DNA in different ways, but recent research from Flinders University suggests that certain people have stronger intra-variability in their cell deposits.

Study helps to make sense of cell-to-cell variation in response to external stimuli

Why do genetically similar cells react to the same extrinsic stimuli, such as antibiotics, in such diverse ways?

Exceptional research recordings display RNA switching “on” and “off”

RNA switches (also known as riboswitches) control which genes are turned “on” and “off”, much like a light switch. Although this appears to be a straightforward process, biologists have been astonished by the inner workings of these switches for decades.

Researchers discover abnormal gene mutations that lead to cancer development

The reason why the control centers, or nuclei, of certain blood cancer cells, have a peculiar structure is still a mystery.

Research highlights the factors needed to reprogramme naïve pluripotent stem cells

Following a genome-wide functional screen, scientists from the Babraham Institute’s Epigenetics research department were able to learn more about naïve stem cell reprogramming.

Researchers discover a novel pathway for DNA transfer in the tumor microenvironment

Scientists from the University of Notre Dame have found a new way for tumor cells to transmit genetic material to other cells in their microenvironment, allowing cancer to spread.

HIF-1alpha inhibitor preserves the activity of insulin-producing beta cells in diabetic mice

High blood glucose is responsible for several complications in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified a new antidiabetic substance that preserves the activity of insulin-producing beta cells and prevents high blood glucose in mice.

Study on key protein offers clues into the origin of mesothelioma

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and their international collaborators have discovered that a protein critical in the embryonic stages of life is reactivated in certain cases of mesothelioma, offering clues into the origin of this aggressive cancer.

Researchers reveal how deleting a protein could prevent heart attacks and strokes

Macrophages travel through our arteries, gobbling fat the way Pac-man gobbled ghosts. But fat-filled macrophages can narrow blood vessels and cause heart disease.

Study highlights the importance of membrane composition of targeted cells

Bacteria, fungi, and yeast are very good at excreting useful substances such as weak acids. One way in which they do this is through passive diffusion of molecules across the cell membrane. At the same time, cells need to prevent leakage of numerous small molecules.

Discovery of genetic pathway could lead to more affordable, higher-yield bioprocessing

A team of researchers working with the Center for Bioenergy Innovation at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has discovered a pathway to encourage a type of lignin formation in plants that could make the processing of crops grown for products such as sustainable jet fuels easier and less costly.
