Cardiac arrhythmias: Expression of connexin 43 in infarct scar cuts cardiac arrhythmias after heart attack
Life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias often occur after a heart attack, as the scar tissue can interfere with the spread of electrical
New biotech technique accelerates protein therapy research: Dubbed GlycoSCORES, the technique rapidly screens sequences for making glycoproteins
A Northwestern-led synthetic biology research team has combined technologies to develop a new biotech technique that promises to accelerate research
Strategy prevents blindness in mice with retinal degeneration: Approach could guide research for inherited blindness treatment in humans
More than 2 million people worldwide live with inherited and untreatable retinal conditions, including retinitis pigmentosa, which slowly erodes vision.
Long-sought structure of telomerase paves way for new drugs for aging, cancer: Cryo-electron microscopy images reveal details of protein, RNA binding and possible drug-target sites
More than 30 years ago, when University of California, Berkeley researchers discovered telomerase — an enzyme that lengthens chromosome ends
Accepted or rejected? Uncovering how fate of B cell is determined: Researchers elucidate the mechanisms of B cell differentiation in the germinal center
When a pathogen evades or overcomes our innate immune defenses, the adaptive immune system kicks into action. There are two
Exercise could make the heart younger: Mice make over four times as many new heart muscle cells when they exercise, study finds
Doctors, health organizations, and the Surgeon General all agree that exercise is good for the heart — but the reasons
Natural barcodes enable better cell tracking: New method uses patients’ unique genetic variation profiles to aid in personalized medicine
Each of us carries in our genomes about 10 million genetic variations called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which represent a
