A new study examines how cannabis use among men could cause heritable effects on male fertility.

Scientists have harnessed the potential of bacteria to help build advanced synthetic cells which mimic real life functionality.

Zika virus has a trick up its sleeve. Once inside the body, the virus likes to make a bee line for dendritic cells, the cells we rely on to launch an effective immune response.

In a new study, researchers demonstrated how transketolase-like 1 (TKTL1) gene expression influenced neocortical neurogenesis in modern humans.

In a recent study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, researchers assessed the impact of prenatal exposure to air pollution on immune perturbations.

Routine cell culture reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) gene expression analysis is limited in scalability due to minimum sample requirement and multistep isolation procedures. In this study, we aimed to optimize and apply a cost-effective and rapid protocol for directly sampling gene expression data from microplate cell cultures. The optimized protocol involves direct lysis of microplate well population followed by a reduced thermocycler reaction time one-ste...

Inactivation of a particular protein complex that plays a key role in keeping genes switched off leads to nerve cells not producing enough essential neurotransmitters.

Years of work by developmental biologists from Trinity College Dublin, working with colleagues at the University of Edinburgh's MRC Human Genetics Unit, has yielded a resource of unparalleled detail that will help researchers assess how key genes control the differentiation of tissues and organs of developing embryos.

In a recent study published in the journal Foods, eating grapes can extend life expectancy by five years and reduce non-alcoholic fatty liver disease risk in mice fed high-fat diets.

When male and female fruit flies age, their brains become desexualized. Age-related changes take place in both sexes, but the male brain becomes feminized to a larger extent than the female brain becomes masculinized. This is the conclusion of a study performed by a research group at Linköping University. The findings are published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B.
