University of Delaware's Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA—the ribonucleic acid that tells the body how to ...
A team of CiRA researchers has uncovered the crucial role of EIF3D—a protein translational regulator—in primed pluripotency. The research is published in the journal Science Advances.
Comprehensive reference genomes have now been assembled for six ape species: siamang (a Southeast Asian gibbon), Sumatran orangutan, Bornean orangutan, gorilla, bonobo, and chimpanzee. Areas of their genomes previously inaccessible ...
The sustainable production of fuels and value-added chemicals from biomass is a cornerstone of the future bioeconomy. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a platform molecule derived from lignocellulosic biomass, holds immense ...
Drug-carrying DNA aptamers can deliver a one-two punch to leukemia by precisely targeting the elusive cancer stem cells that seed cancer relapses, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign report.
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic "barcode," they have been able to follow the ...
As different as they may seem, humans and cats have similar ailments, but in terms of health care, veterinary regenerative medicine is not as advanced. A possible solution rests in embryonic stem cells, which can differentiate ...
In an international collaboration, researchers have made an important breakthrough in the therapeutic delivery of microRNAs against Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a disease with no cure, to date.
What if the secret to curing baldness has been hiding in your hair all along? University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered a little-known group of stem cells in hair follicles that could bring back ...
A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse—a mouse with two male parents—that lived until adulthood.
