A novel study using a mouse model has found that the absence of the angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) protein during development ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

Project Leader: Victor Thannickal, M.D. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is chronic, progressive lung disorder with high mortality, and limited therapeutic options. Studies performed during Cycle I ...

CGTE researchers Dr. Stelios Andreadis, center director, and Dr. Kirk Personius are lead co-authors of a paper in the October 24th edition of Nature Communications. This study describes experiments ...

The first study on deuterium-depleted water (DDW) concluded that a higher D/H ratio inside cells can trigger cell division. This was supported by lab experiments showing that lowering deuterium levels ...

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns ...

Predicting tumor progression is one of the major challenges in oncology. Scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have discovered that neutrophils, a ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Epigenetics, the dynamic regulation of genetic expression, involves complex molecular mechanisms. While the process of gene silencing by methylating the H3K27 position in histones is understood, not ...

A newly published scientific paper titled "Gene Expression Patterns in Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells in Response to Changes in ...
