Protein Maintains Order in the Nucleus
April 4, 2013 — Two meters of DNA are packed into the cell nucleus, presumably based on a strictly defined arrangement. Researchers have now succeeded in explaining a phenomenon, which was first observed 40 years ... > full story -
Course of Cardiovascular Events More Predictable: A Protein Enables Risk Assessment
April 4, 2013 — Medical researchers have managed to predict the probability of a cardiovascular patient suffering a heart attack, stroke or arterial occlusion within three months. In the long-term, this knowledge ... > full story -
Wild Mice Have Natural Protection Against Lyme Borreliosis
April 4, 2013 — Like humans, mice can become infected with Borrelia. However, not all mice that come into contact with these bacteria contract the dreaded Lyme disease: Animals with a particular gene variant are ... > full story -
The Equine 'Adam' Lived Fairly Recently: Close Relationships Among Modern Stallions
April 4, 2013 — The analysis of DNA inherited from a single parent has provided valuable insights into the history of human and animal populations. However, until recently we had insufficient information to be ... > full story -
One Extinct Turtle Less: Turtle Species in the Seychelles Never Existed
April 4, 2013 — The turtle species Pelusios seychellensis regarded hitherto as extinct never existed. Scientists discovered this based on genetic ... > full story -
Brain Cell Signal Network Genes Linked to Schizophrenia Risk in Families
April 3, 2013 — New genetic factors predisposing to schizophrenia have been uncovered in five families with several affected relatives. These gene variants weaken NMDA receptors. Found throughout the brain, NMDA ... > full story -

Autism Linked to Increased Genetic Change in Regions of Genome Instability
April 3, 2013 — Children with autism have increased levels of genetic change in regions of the genome prone to DNA rearrangements, so called "hotspots," according to a new research discovery. The research has ... > full story -
Light Tsunami in a Superconductor
April 3, 2013 — Superconductors are materials which conduct electric currents without any resistance. Scientists have managed to selectively influence this resistance-free conductivity with a powerful terahertz ... > full story
