Researchers at the University of Basel have demonstrated how bacteria coordinate cell division with the replication of their genetic material. In an interdisciplinary study they explain why the current concept of the bacterial cell cycle has to be rewritten.

Researchers have uncovered why bears' muscles remain unharmed during hibernation, which could provide clues to preventing muscle atrophy in humans.

Seed germination is controlled by several plant hormones, but not much was known about the processes that need to take place to allow the hormones to function... until now.

A team from the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute has developed a diagnostic assay to identify cells resistant to leukemia treatment.

Patients who were transplanted with hearts from hepatitis C-positive donors had comparable outcomes after one year to patients who received hearts from donors that didn’t have the disease. With effective direct-acting antiviral therapies this presents an opportunity to expand the donor pool, shorten wait times for organs and ensure that fewer people die waiting for them.

The ISLET project, a multi-center collaboration of leading European researchers, aims to develop a manufacturing pipeline for stem cell-based products to treat patients with Type 1 Diabetes.

Can’t remember something? Try waiting until later in the day. Researchers have identified a gene in mice that seems to influence memory recall at different times of day and tracked how it causes mice to be more forgetful just before they normally wake up.

New research led by La Trobe University in Australia has uncovered genetic clues which could explain why some people have more severe side effects from long-term methamphetamine use than others.

Researchers have developed the foundation for direct sequencing of individual proteins.

Researchers have uncovered nearly 209 genes whose activity can change in anxiety, which may provide new targets for drug development.
