How rice breeders develop a new low glycemic index, high protein rice

Some perceive rice as a "bad" source of carbohydrates. That's because most varieties of rice have a high glycemic index.

New computer model helps identify mutations that drive tumor growth

Cancer cells can have thousands of mutations in their DNA. However, only a handful of those actually drive the progression of cancer; the rest are just along for the ride.

Researchers capture a new high-resolution view of the rabies virus

Around 59,000 individuals are shockingly killed by the rabies virus each year, and several of them are children. Some victims, particularly children, discover they have been exposed after it is too late.

Researchers understand how Tenascin proteins slowed down the regeneration process

Tenascin C and Tenascin R, are two proteins that have been the topic of investigation at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Myelin sheaths, or the sheaths of the nerve cells, are destroyed by immune system cells in this condition.

Researchers reveal how blood serum impacts the survival and metabolism of bacteria

In hospitals, the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria can be transported from the skin or nasal cavity into open wounds and, possibly, the bloodstream, posing a fatal hazard. Staph infections killed over 20,000 Americans in 2017, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
