Magnetic gene in fish may someday help those with epilepsy, Parkinson’s
An aquarium fish that senses the Earth’s magnetic field as it swims could help unlock how the human brain works […]
Engineered genetic machinery derived from E. coli delivers new amino acids to proteins: By turning to a deadly bacteria, researchers devise method to incorporate non-canonical amino acids into proteins in human cells
Proteins — the molecular machines that drive the processes underlying biology — are made from just 20 canonical building blocks […]
Fat production and burning are synchronized in livers of mice with obesity
Mice fed a fattening diet develop new liver circadian rhythms that impact the way fat is accumulated and simultaneously burned, […]
The need for speed: Why malaria parasites are faster than human immune cells
Malaria parasites of the genus Plasmodium move ten times faster through the skin than immune cells, whose job it is […]
Two proteins involved in schistosome epigenetics play key roles in parasite’s biology: Protein pair could serve as drug targets in development of new schistosomiasis control strategies
Two proteins that recognize and translate DNA methylation marks in Schistosoma mansoni are required for growth of adult stem cells […]
