A cellular protein that interacts with invading viruses appears to help enable the infection process of the Zika virus, according to researchers who suggest this protein could be a key target in developing new therapies to prevent or treat Zika virus infection.

Researchers suggests that the role of yeast, the world's most basic eukaryotic unicellular organism, may pave the way for the development of novel, more effective therapies for the treatment of metabolic disorders.

Researchers have made a major discovery about how “DNA binding proteins” latch onto the human genome at particular places to turn genes on or off.

Researchers have found another, possibly more accurate way to classify burn severity to determine the best course of treatment: analyzing proteins in blister fluid.

A study concludes that fake ISO 9001 quality certificates are very widespread across Chinese companies and that the certification processes of the auditing companies lack credibility.

Researchers have found evidence that fasting affects circadian clocks in the liver and skeletal muscle, causing them to rewire their metabolism, which can ultimately lead to improved health and protection against aging-associated diseases.

Research led by stem cell scientists at Harvard University points to a potential new biomarker and drug target for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurological disease that is difficult to diagnose and treat.

Scientists have completed one of the largest bacterial comparative gene expression studies to date, to aid understanding of the bacteria causing a devastating Salmonella epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa.

Researchers utilize a newly developed model of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in mice to demonstrate the retinoprotective effects of the peptide adrenomedullin (ADM) and its receptor activity-modifying protein RAMP2.

Researchers have identified a hormone produced by the liver that tells the body to downshift its metabolism when it’s expending a lot of energy.
