Salk scientists use mRNA to successfully treat hemophilia B in mice

FedEx, UPS, DHL--when it comes to sending packages, choices abound. But the most important delivery service you may not have heard of mRNA.

Signals from fat cells may aid in diagnostics for metabolic conditions

Fat cells are not simply big blobs of lipid quietly standingby in the body--instead, they send out hormones and other signaling proteins that affect many types of tissues.

Changes in size of mitochondria in subset of brain cells could be key to maintaining blood sugar

Keeping blood sugar levels within a safe range is key to managing both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In a new finding that could lead to fewer complications for diabetes patients, Yale School of Medicine researchers have found that changes in the size of mitochondria in a small subset of brain cells play a crucial role in safely maintaining blood sugar levels.

FDA approves new drug to treat adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Siliq (brodalumab) to treat adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Siliq is administered as an injection.

Mice study shows how WAVE1 protein regulates the brain's response to cocaine

Cocaine is one of the most addictive substances known to man, and for good reason: By acting on levels of the "feel-good" chemical dopamine, it produces a tremendous sensation of euphoria.

HCI researchers uncover how epithelial cells naturally turn over to maintain constant numbers

Research published today in Nature from scientists at Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah shows how epithelial cells naturally turn over, maintaining constant numbers between cell division and cell death.

Naturally occurring protein shows promise as biocontrol weapon against schistosomiasis

A naturally occurring protein has been discovered that shows promise as a biocontrol weapon against schistosomiasis, one of the world's most prevalent parasitic diseases, Oregon State University researchers reported today in a new study.

TSRI scientists target obesity-linked protein to prevent weight gain in animal models

Scientists are working to understand the mechanisms that make weight loss so complicated. Exercise burns calories, of course, but scientists are also looking at how the body burns more energy to stay warm in cold temperatures.

UNIST researchers make breakthrough in search for potential root causes of bipolar disorder

A team of researchers, affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough in the search for the potential root causes of bipolar disorder.

Researchers discover sulfide-responsive protein that regulates photosynthesis in purple bacteria

Recent evidence demonstrates that the origins of photosynthesis can be found in deep sea hydrothermal vents, where microbes evolved to obtain energy from ejected hydrogen sulfide and methane gases.

Kent researchers identify how Ebola viruses need few mutations to adapt to new host species

Kent researchers have identified how few mutations it can take for Ebolaviruses to adapt to affect previously resistant species.

SBP scientists identify autophagy linked to beneficial effects of enduring temporary stress

Biologists have known for decades that enduring a short period of mild stress makes simple organisms and human cells better able to survive additional stress later in life.

OIST researchers employ time-lapse imaging technique to observe lens development in zebrafish

There are many different structures in our eyes that work in conjunction to allow us to see. These structures are strikingly similar between different species, from zebrafish to humans.

Sperm-egg fusion proteins are homologous to those used by Zika and Dengue viruses, research shows

The protein that helps the sperm and egg fuse together in sexual reproduction can also fuse regular cells together.

Researchers explore role played by nicotine in grouping of nicotinic receptors within the brain

Nicotine -- the primary compound found within tobacco smoke -- is known to change the grouping of some subtypes of nicotinic receptors, but the mechanisms for nicotine addiction remain unclear.

Scientists identify genetic signature of risk for type 2 diabetes

Why do some people get Type 2 diabetes, while others who live the same lifestyle never do? For decades, scientists have tried to solve this mystery - and have found more than 80 tiny DNA differences that seem to raise the risk of the disease in some people, or protect others from the damagingly high levels of blood sugar that are its hallmark.
