Low doses of radiation equivalent to three CT scans, which are considered safe, give cancer-capable cells a competitive advantage over […] In a single sneeze or a cough, as many as 40,000 tiny droplets are forcibly propelled from our mouth and […] The causes of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are diverse and to some extent, unknown. But without doubt, they are complex, […] By enticing away the repressors dampening unexpressed, silent genes in Streptomyces bacteria, researchers at the University of Illinois have unlocked […] In optogenetics, researchers use light to control protein activity. This technique allows them to alter the shape of embryonic tissue […] Adult mouse skeletal stem cells in the jaw revert to a more developmentally flexible state when called upon to regenerate […] The team from Imperial College London were able to crash caged populations of the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles gambiae in […] There are no approved medications to treat either cocaine addiction or overdose. Frequent users tend to become less and less […] Scientists at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) have identified new means of fighting drug-tolerant bacteria, […]
