In the damp understory of forests in Taiwan, mainland Japan, and Okinawa, a plant called Balanophora can fool you at first ...

Researchers in Sweden recovered RNA from a 130-year-old Tasmanian tiger, allowing them to identify which genes were active in its tissues before extinction.

This collaboration has broad implications for biopharma and precision medicine. Researchers will be able to generate causal data, clinicians will be able to access new functional maps for interpreting ...

A shared molecular signature of Alzheimer’s appears across populations once studied in isolation. Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects African Americans (AA) at roughly twice the rate seen among ...

For years, orange juice has been sold as a simple source of vitamin C, but new human data suggest that a morning glass may be doing something far more radical inside the body. Researchers now report ...

Today at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), researchers presented the initial findings from a major multi-year collaboration between the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (ECOG-ACRIN) and ...

Tanshinones are major bioactive components in Salvia miltiorrhiza and are widely used in cardiovascular therapies. However, their naturally low content limits pharmaceutical utilization. This study ...

During development of the human cerebral cortex, multipotent neural progenitors generate excitatory neurons and glial cells. Investigations of the transcriptome and epigenome have revealed important ...

Analyzing a person’s gene expression requires mapping their RNA landscape to a standard reference to gain insight into the degree to which genes are “turned on” and perform functions in the body. But ...
