Molecular mechanism underlying severe form of diabetes in kids identified
Washington, Sept 9 (ANI): University of Iowa researchers have identified a new molecular mechanism underlying a rare and severe form of diabetes in children.
The new mechanism involves a protein called ankyrin and appears to regulate specialized pancreatic cells and insulin secretion
The researchers hope that the new discovery may help identify [...]
Small towns can meet fast-paced world’s challenges
Washington, July 5 (ANI): A new book has said that small towns can meet the challenge of a fast-paced, globalized world.
The book, titled “Small Town Sustainability: Economic, Social, and Environmental Innovation,” has been written by University Distinguished Professor and former College of Architecture and Urban Studies dean Paul L. Knox and Heike Mayer, associate professor [...]
Small RNAs have critical roles sperm formation
London, April 10 (ANI): Scientists at the University of Nevada School of Medicine claim that they have gained fresh insights into the reproductive workings of the male sex chromosome, which may have significant implications for male infertility and contraception.
The researchers have found that the X chromosome in developing sperm cells encodes numerous tiny ribonucleic acids [...]
Key gene that protects against leukaemia identified
Washington, Apr 9 (ANI): Paving the way for a targeted treatment for leukaemia and other blood cancers, scientists have found a gene called JunB that controls the rapid production and differentiation of the stem cells that produce all blood cell types.
The investigators have also uncovered evidence that could lead to a protocol for bone marrow [...]
Evolution, ecosystems may buffer some species against climate change
Washington, March 6 (ANI): A new study has suggested that although ecologists expect many species will be harmed by climate change, some species could be buffered by their potential to evolve or by changes in their surrounding ecosystems.
The study, by researchers [...]

New mammalian genes that play roles in health, disease identified
London, February 2 (ANI): Scientists at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center have announced the discovery of a vast new class of previously unrecognised mammalian genes that do not encode proteins, but instead function as long RNA molecules.
The researchers describe their discovery as a novel class of “large [...]
