One-time treatment generates new neurons, eliminates Parkinson’s disease in mice Xiang-Dong Fu, PhD, has never been more excited about something in his entire career. He has long studied the basic biology of RNA, a genetic […]
Researchers discover a metabolic enzyme that spurs the growth and spread of liver cancer An enzyme that blocks the metabolic processes that contribute to the rapid growth and spread of liver cancer has been discovered, […]
Researchers discover new boron-lanthanide nanostructure The discovery of carbon nanostructures like two-dimensional graphene and soccer ball-shaped buckyballs helped to launch a nanotechnology revolution. In recent years, researchers from Brown University and elsewhere have shown that […]
Why are plants green? Research team’s model reproduces photosynthesis When sunlight shining on a leaf changes rapidly, plants must protect themselves from the ensuing sudden surges of solar energy. To cope with these changes, photosynthetic […]
Scientists decode how the brain senses smell Scientists have further decoded how mammalian brains perceive odors and distinguish one smell from thousands of others. In experiments in mice, NYU Grossman School of Medicine researchers have […]
Viruses can steal our genetic code to create new human-virus genes Like a scene out of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” a virus infects a host and converts it into a factory for making more […]
