A team of Swedish and British Researchers studied the data of 35,035 twin pairs from the Swedish Twin Registry. Humans and house pets such as Dogs were the first domesticated animal and have had a close relationship with these animals…

Such cells produce inflammatory and anti – inflammatory molecules; the trick is getting the mix just right. That’s very satisfying and exciting here is that we have the potential to explore new treatments for brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s…

The researchers identified 195,728 virus species parsed into five global regions that are home to distinct viral communities. Having the global map of virus locations could help scientists know where carbon fallout occurs and increase the accuracy of climate simulations.…

Researchers have found an antidote to this venom is so deadly box jellyfish can kill 60 people. Named for its cuboid shape, the Australian box jellyfish has about 60 tentacles that can grow up to 10 feet (3 m) long.…

It can also be further processed using well-known chemical used in a variety of applications, including the production of synthetic rubber. These materials are used in a range of consumer products. The key to realizing these benefits, as with any bio-based product,…

The immune system relies on antibodies that can recognize only a single protein. “We wanted to figure out methods to graft complete, intact electronic circuits onto colloidal particles”, explains Michael Strano, the Carbon C. Dubbs Professor of Chemical Engineering at…

Researchers developed a new method for transforming adult human skin cells directly into motor neurons without the need for stem cells. Their results were published today in the journal Cell. A very important aspect of avoiding the stem cell state allows the…

  Couples could choose whether to use edited or unedited embryos for pregnancy attempts. He Jiankui, an associate professor at Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, China, addressed a packed hall of around 700 people attending the Human…

In January 2019, scientists in China reported the creation of five identical clonedgene-edited monkeys, using the same cloning technique that was used with Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, and the same gene-editing Crispr-Cas9 technique allegedly used by He Jiankui in…

A team led by Viviane Slon and Svante Pääbo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in Leipzig, Germany, carried out genetic analysis on a fragment of bone, more than 50,000 years old, found in a cave in Russia.…
