Epigenetic Changes Shed Light on Biological Mechanism of Autism
April 23, 2013 — Scientists have identified patterns of epigenetic changes involved in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by studying genetically identical twins who differ in autism traits. The study is the largest of ... > full story -
Using Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, Scientists Can Better Study Human Disease
April 21, 2013 — New work has led to major advances in our understanding of embryonic stem cells and "induced pluripotent stem" cells, which appear identical to embryonic stem cells but can be created from adult ... > full story -
Cheating, and Getting Away With It: Works for Amoeba
January 11, 2013 — We would all like to believe that there is a kind of karma in life that guarantees those who cheat eventually pay for their bad behavior, if not immediately, then somewhere down the line. But a study ... > full story -
Enzyme Accelerates Malignant Stem Cell Cloning in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
December 26, 2012 — An international team has identified a key enzyme in the reprogramming process that promotes malignant stem cell cloning and the growth of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a cancer of the blood and ... > full story -
Bullying by Childhood Peers Leaves a Trace That Can Change the Expression of a Gene Linked to Mood
