Researchers examine the effects of genome doubling on cell biology and the generation of novelty in plants.

Researchers suggest differences in the geographic origin of genes may affect the function of human mitochondria--energy-generating organelles inside of cells.

Researchers have discovered how a gene involved in regulating hormone receptors may contribute to drug resistance in some prostate cancer patients.

Looking at the industry growth and the complexities of biopharma development, it is no wonder that transformational developments are required to better equip laboratories and operations in biopharma.

In a move aimed to make the origins of food more transparent for consumers, the USDA have launched new rulings regarding the labeling requirements for bioengineered ingredients – but what does this mean for producers, retailers and consumers?

Thanks to advances in therapeutics, chronic myeloid leukemia has been transformed from a deadly cancer into a manageable, chronic condition. However, patients have to stay on these drugs their whole lives, as there isn't a diagnostic test sensitive enough to detect traces of the disease that threaten a relapse. This article delves into the unmet need for such a test, and explains why droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is a strong candidate that may fill this gap.

This article discusses the relationship between cell signaling and cancer, highlights key signaling pathways involved in cancer, and explores how critical mediators of aberrant signaling can be turned into therapeutic targets for cancer.

The reproducibility crisis is holding back science. London-based Labstep, a start-up out of Oxford University, think that their tool can help make science more open and reproducible. That claim has now been given some concrete evidence with the announcement that the research contingent of the MRC Unit The Gambia at LSHTM will be trialling Labstep across their Banjul-based facility.

Researchers have identified a mechanism by which brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can suppress GABAergic transmission in hippocampus. In this article, Dr. Rajamani Selvam explains how he and his team achieved these results, and their potential impact on the treatment of neurological disease.
