Why is it that certain mammals have an exceptional sense of smell, some hibernate, and yet others, including humans, are predisposed to disease? A major international research project, jointly led by Uppsala University, Sweden and the Broad…

To develop treatments that may one day entirely rid the body of HIV infection, scientists have long sought to identify all of the places that the virus can hide its genetic code. Now, in a study using blood samples from men and women with…

Cells zealously protect the integrity of their genomes, because damage can lead to cancer or cell death. The genome -- a cell's complete set of DNA -- is most vulnerable while it is being duplicated before a cell divides. Cancer cells…

L’AQUILA, Italie, 02 nov. 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Le startup en biotechnologie Longenesis s'est associée à Dante Genomics, un leader mondial de la génomique et de la médecine de précision, en vue d'offrir un séquençage du génome entier…

Scientists have shown that in one in every 4,000 births, some of the genetic code from our mitochondria -- the 'batteries' that power our cells -- inserts itself into our DNA, revealing a surprising new insight into how humans evolve. In a…

A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT provides evidence from both mouse models and postmortem human tissue of a direct link between two problems that emerge in Alzheimer's disease: a buildup of…

Along the murky bottom of the Amazon River, serpentine fish called electric eels scour the gloom for unwary frogs or other small prey. When one swims by, the fish unleash two 600-volt pulses of electricity to stun or kill it. This…
