Japanese researchers have found that vitamin C can thicken skin by switching on genes that boost skin cell growth, helping reverse age-related thinning. It works by...
Recycled plastic pellets can release a hidden mix of over 80 chemicals into water, disrupting hormones and fat metabolism in zebrafish larvae. Researchers warn that unknown...
Cohesin is a protein that forms a ring-shaped complex which wraps and alters the DNA molecule shape. It moves through the DNA and creates specific loops...
Researchers have identified a monoacylglycerol acyltransferase-coding gene named bishu-1. It is involved in the thermal responsiveness of cool temperature-sensing neurons by regulating ionotropic receptor expression, thereby...
Scientists found out how naturally unstable filaments decide whether to grow or to shorten.
Researchers have developed a way to edit the genetic sequences at the root of Huntington's disease and Friedreich's ataxia. If longer than a certain threshold length,...
The protein DNase1 is one of the oldest biological agents in history: It has been on the market since 1958 and is now used, among other...
Scientists have documented the way a single gene in the bacterium that causes bubonic plague, Yersinia pestis, allowed it to survive hundreds of years by adjusting...
Researchers compared the whole genome sequence of two genetically distinct lineages of bed bug, and their findings indicate bed bugs may well be the first true...
A new study suggests how APOE2 is protective while APOE4 increases disease risk by regulating the brain's immune cells.
