Researchers develop artificial building blocks of life

For the first time, scientists from the University of Cologne (UoC) have developed artificial nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA, with several additional properties in the laboratory. They could be…

Vitamin A may play a central role in stem cell biology and wound repair

When a child falls off her bike and scrapes her knee, skin stem cells rush to the rescue, growing new epidermis to cover the wound. But only some of the…

Often seen, never studied: First characterization of a key postsynaptic protein

A protein that appears in postsynaptic protein agglomerations has been found to be crucial to their formation. The Kobe University discovery identifies a new key player for synaptic function and…

Rogue enzymes cause numerous diseases

A new method could help design drugs to treat them. Helicases are enzymes that unwind DNA and RNA. They’re central to cellular life, implicated in a number of cancers and…

Deciphering the tip of migrating neurons

Discovery of growth cone in migrating neurons involved in promoting neuronal migration and regeneration in the brain after injury. Migrating neurons possess a growth cone that shares functions with axonal…

Possible tumour marker found for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma

A research team at the MHH is comparing changes in natural killer cells of the innate immune defence system in chronic hepatitis C sufferers as a risk factor for the…
