Christine Dunham is a leading expert on the ribosome—an elaborate macro-molecular machine that operates like a factory within a cell to manufacture proteins. "The ribosome is really the most ...
A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...
Researchers at Cardiff University have uncovered how a particularly severe form of DNA damage arises—shedding new light on mutation processes that contribute to cancer and inherited genetic conditions ...
Evolution is perhaps the most extraordinary story ever told—a tale spanning billions of years that connects every living thing on Earth through an intricate ...
Researchers reviewed how somatic mutations accumulate in normal and diseased tissues, showing that natural selection can expand clones that influence disease risk, tissue adaptation, or cellular ...
Two different clinical trials conducted by the EM Lyon Business School in France established the draining, at times debilitating effects of what researchers called surface acting. That involves ...
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Winter weather is on the way. When the surface up to the clouds is above freezing, then rain falls. When the entire column is below freezing, snow falls. If there is warm air ...
ATLANTA — Freezing rain can cause a layer of ice on roads, trees and power lines. And it could become problematic across the Atlanta area and north Georgia this weekend as we track a potential winter ...
Neuroscientists are tracking the brain activity that underlies a cognitive breakthrough and unraveling how it might boost memory Nora Bradford, Quanta Magazine Some solutions are reached incrementally ...
One might expect researchers to have settled the question long ago of whether poverty causes crime. On the surface, the answer seems obvious. A correlation certainly exists: anyone working in the ...
Tanning bed usage can cause DNA damage, mutate skin cells beyond ordinary sun exposure and increase the risk of melanoma by nearly three times, according to a Northwestern University study published ...
