Oct. 13, 2020 — Moles stop growing when they reach a certain size due to normal interactions between cells, despite having cancer-associated gene mutations, says a new ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — Cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins may reduce cancer risk in humans through a pathway unrelated to cholesterol, says a new ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — Researchers have found out how cells can recover their development and longevity after damage by UV. The discovery may enable new therapies against premature ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — Combining genetic and experimental data into models about the influenza virus can help predict more accurately which strains will be most common during the next winter, says a study published ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — Scientists have created an unprecedented 3-dimensional structural model of a key molecular 'machine' known as the BAF complex, which modifies DNA architecture and is frequently mutated in ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — The raging lung inflammation that can contribute to death from the flu can be stopped in its tracks by a drug derived from a naturally occurring human protein, a new animal study ...
Oct. 12, 2020 — As public interest and expanded research in human genome editing grows, many questions remain about ethical, legal and social implications of the technology. People who are seriously ill may ...
Oct. 12, 2020 — Researchers have generated mice lacking the estrogen receptor beta gene, both fiber-specific and muscle stem cell-specific, which resulted in abnormalities in the growth and regeneration of skeletal ...
Oct. 9, 2020 — Researchers aimed to characterize the viral factor(s) determining immune activation upon SARS-CoV-2 infection and found that ORF3b, a gene encoded by SARS-CoV-2, is a potent IFN ...
Oct. 8, 2020 — Recent work revealed a newfound quality control system in the protein production assembly line with possible implications for understanding neurogenerative ...
Oct. 8, 2020 — Some people carry a mutation in a particular gene that makes the smell of fish less intense. The study, which is the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) of olfactory genes in humans ...
