By enticing away the repressors dampening unexpressed, silent genes in Streptomyces bacteria, researchers at the University of Illinois have unlocked […] New insights into how dengue and Zika viruses cause disease reveal shared and virus-specific mechanisms. An international, multi-institutional team led […] Scientists have discovered eight genes linked to red hair, helping to solve a mystery of how redheads inherit their flaming […] Atherosclerotic disease, the slow and silent hardening and narrowing of the arteries, is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. It […] How do you imagine the interior of our cells? Often compared to tiny factories, cells found smart and sophisticated ways […] Most FDA-approved small molecule drugs inhibit enzymes — biology’s protein machines that catalyze chemical reactions. However, many proteins in biology […] Researchers at York University have found a new role for a well-known protein in the body that may explain, in […] Programs supported by the National Institutes of Health are establishing which genes and genomic variants play a role in human […] New archaeological evidence from southwest Madagascar reveals that modern humans colonized the island thousands of years later than previously thought, […]
