Despite extensive research, the domestication history of Asian rice has remained controversial. New research shows hat Asian rice domestication began independently from many lineages in different areas.

Research has identified genetic correlations between patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar disorder.

A deafened adult cannot recover the ability to hear because the sensory hearing cells of the inner ear don’t regenerate after damage. In two new studies, scientists explain why this is the case and how we might be able to change it.

A study reveals findings from over 800 clinical assays performed for kidney patients with MiTF family gene mutations. The study is the largest series of its kind in kidney cancer and carries deep clinical and diagnostics implications.

A technique that enables scientists to record gene mutations and patterns of gene activity in individual cells has been extended to cover RNA splicing as well.

New research has taken a deep dive into what makes buffalo mozzarella so special, creating a detailed picture of which microbes are present during manufacture.

Researchers have developed a computational simulation that explains a key mechanism of DNA segregation. Their findings pave the way for experimental testing and reveal fundamental biochemical principles.

New research has identified the genes and molecular mechanisms behind the production and secretion of immunoglobulin G, which could help advance antibody-based therapy manufacturing.

The study used an accepted primate model to show that sustained release of glial-derived neurotrophic factor in a region of the brain called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) may prevent a return to excessive alcohol use after a period of abstinence.

Follicular helper T cells, or Tfh cells, have a crucial role in immune defense. Without Tfh cells, B cells cannot form germinal center, or GC, responses during which high-affinity antibodies are generated.
