Proteins that bind DNA or RNA are usually put in different categories, but researchers recently showed how the p53 protein has the capacity to bind both and how this controls gene expression on the levels of both transcription (RNA synthesis) and mRNA translation (protein synthesis).

Twitter users who are happy tend to be more connected with other happy users. This is the confirmation of a property of social networks known as assortativity: a measure of to what extent people who tend to connect with each other share certain characteristics. A study has redefined this measure in…

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths. Adenocarcinomas, a non-small cell lung cancer, account for about 40 percent of cancer diagnoses, but available treatments are limited. Researchers have identified a subtype of human adenocarcinoma. The research could help determine individuals…

In a normal full-term pregnancy, signals from the mature organs of the fetus and the aging placental membranes and placenta prompt the uterus' muscular walls to begin the labor and delivery process. It's still unclear how these signals accomplish this goal or how they reach from the fetal side to…

Brain tissue can die as the result of stroke, traumatic brain injury, or neurodegenerative disease. When the affected area includes the motor cortex, impairment of the fine motor control of the hand can result. Researchers found that inosine, a naturally occurring purine nucleoside that is released…
