Washington, September 4 (ANI): In a new research, scientists have discovered that a duplicate copy of a gene involved in embryonic development of fish has taken up a newer role in the evolution of fish scales.

Scientists have suspected that spare parts [...]

Washington, August 21 (ANI): A team of scientists has discovered signaling pathway that ensures plants remember to flower, even without positive signals from the environment.

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Germany found the solution to the mystery that why do some plants blossom [...]

Washington, Aug 18 (ANI): Scientists from University of Pennsylvania have shed light on how lungs are developed in the body.

They have identified a tissue-repair-and-regeneration pathway in the human body, including wound healing that is essential for the early lung to develop properly.

The researchers have also discovered two molecules in this pathway, Wnt2 and Wnt2b [...]

Washington, July 4 (ANI): Researchers at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) have shown that there are certain molecular differences between embryonic stem cells and skin cells skin cells reprogrammed into embryonic-like cells.

Their work has made them the first ever research team to show that the two cell types are clearly distinguishable from each [...]

Washington, June 30 (ANI): British researchers have advised expectant mothers to reduce their anxiety and stress levels to protect their kids from developing behavioural and emotional problems later.

The researchers from Imperial College London hope that it will raise families’ awareness of the importance of reducing levels of stress and anxiety in expectant mothers.

They say that [...]

Washington, June 27 (ANI): University of Illinois researchers have found that gene expression in the brain of the zebra finch changes when it hears a new song from a member of its own species.

Writing about this finding in the Proceedings [...]

London, June 22 (ANI): Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine say that they have made a new finding regarding the Notch signalling pathway in sensory organ precursor cells in the fruit fly that may help unravel the mystery behind an immunological disorder called WisKott-Aldrich syndrome.

Notch signalling helps determine the fate of a number of [...]

Washington, May 19 (ANI): Many young children who get a severe skin rash develop asthma later. Now, researchers from Washington University have shed light on what leads to progression from eczema, or atopic dermatitis, to breathing problems.

The doctors call this progression the atopic march.

In the new study, researchers have shown that a substance secreted by [...]

London, May 12 (ANI): Scot researchers claim to have unravelled the medical mystery that has left scientists scratching their heads for nearly 50 years: why thalidomide, a drug used to treat morning sickness in pregnant women, caused severe birth defects in the late Fifties and early Sixties. [...]

Washington, April 21 (ANI): In new discoveries by researchers from Uppsala, Cambridge and Duke Universities, it has been shown that the earliest backboned land animals had different life histories.

The researchers studied fossil upper arm bones from the two so-called “four-legged fishes”, Ichthtyostega and [...]

Washington, Apr 8 (ANI): Does love at first sight actually happen? Well, scientists say that the answer to this ever-existing query lies in geneticists.

In a study on fruit flies, American and Australian researchers have discovered that some males and females are more compatible than others at the genetic level.

In their opinion, this compatibility plays an [...]

London, March 23 (ANI): A compound used by TV show detectives to make blood glow, known as luminol, is now being used by scientists to highlight the sites where the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine [...]

London, March 16 (ANI): Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have for the first time identified a gene that pulls the plug on ailing nerve cell branches from within the nerve cell, which may trigger the painful condition known as neuropathy.

The researchers have shown that blocking the dual leucine zipper kinase [...]

London, Jan 10 (ANI): Researchers at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have found the molecular origin of blood stem cells, paving way for the development of new blood disorder therapies.
Led by Nancy Speck, PhD, Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, the researchers have identified the location [...]
