Recent work revealed a newfound quality control system in the protein production assembly line with possible implications for understanding neurogenerative disease. Source: Quality control mechanism closes the protein production 'on-ramps'
Continue Reading →A research team has devised tiny cargo-carrying systems many times smaller than a human hair, made from molecules called peptides that help provide structure for cells and tissues. The team has reported advances in the nanoparticle design that allow them to control the shape of the nanoparticles to allow them to better bind to tissue […]
Continue Reading →Neurobiologists have uncovered how a special receptor can lead to cell death. Their fundamental findings on neurodegenerative processes simultaneously led the researchers to a completely new principle for therapeutic agents. In their experiments on mouse models, they discovered a new class of highly effective inhibitors for protecting nerve cells. This novel class of drugs opens […]

Continue Reading →A new study shows the promise of high-throughput DNA-sequencing technologies to improve prenatal diagnosis and pregnancy outcomes for women who have experienced an abnormal prenatal ultrasound. Source: DNA test identifies genetic causes of severe fetal and newborn illness
Continue Reading →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 involving a sniff test and looked at over 9,000 people from Iceland, also shows that people vary in their ability to discern the […]
Continue Reading →Accomplishing a feat that had been a pipe dream for decades, scientists have recreated in a test tube the first steps of infection by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Doing so has provided up-close access to the virus — which is otherwise obstructed from view deep within the […]
Continue Reading →Biological clocks have sizeable effects on the performance of elite athletes. This conclusion was drawn by chronobiologists after studying the times achieved by swimmers in four different Olympic Games. Shifting the clock to reach peak performance at the right time could make the difference between winning and losing. Source: Olympic athletes should be mindful of […]

Continue Reading →Scientists have revealed in unprecedented detail the genetic instructions immature egg cells go through step by step as they mature into functionality. Their findings improve our understanding of how ovaries maintain a female’s fertility. Source: How an egg cell's 'operating manual' sets the stage for fertility
