14-03-14 Combining nanodrug-based chemotherapy（化学疗法） and cryoablation（冷冻消融术） provides an effective strategy to eliminate cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) -- the root of cancer resistance and metastasis（转移，新陈代谢） , which will help to improve...

14-01-27 The circadian clock is a molecular network that generates daily rhythms, and is present in both plants and animals. A University of Leicester research team led by Dr Eran Tauber has studied genetic variation in circadian clock genes in wild populati...

14-01-09 A new neuroscience study sheds light on the biological underpinnings of obesity. The in vivo study, published in the January 8 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience, reveals how a protein in the brain helps regulate food intake and body weight. The f...

13-12-06 Seeds from Moringa oleifera（辣木） trees can be used to purify water. Uppsala University leads a research group which has discovered that seed material can give a more efficient purification process than conventional synthetic materials in use toda...

13-11-29 Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have determined the most detailed picture yet of a crucial part of the hepatitis（肝炎） C virus, which the virus uses to infect liver cells. The new data reveal unexpected structural features of t...

13-11-26 A method by Rice University researchers to model the way proteins fold -- and sometimes misfold -- has revealed branching behavior that may have implications for Alzheimer's and other aggregation（聚合） diseases. Results from the research will appe...

13-11-25 A study shows for the first time that X-ray lasers can be used to generate a complete 3-D model of a protein without any prior knowledge of its structure. An international team of researchers working at the Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National...

13-11-01 Collaborating scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and Weill Cornell Medical College have determined the first atomic-level structure of the tripartite（三重的） HIV envelope protein -- long considered one of the most difficult target...

13-10-24 Similar to passengers on an urban transit system, every protein made in the cell has a specific destination and function. Channels in cell membranes help direct these proteins to their appropriate target. Researchers at Boston University School of M...

13-10-20 Schizophrenia patients usually suffer from a breakdown of organized thought, often accompanied by delusions（妄想） or hallucinations（幻觉） . For the first time, MIT neuroscientists have observed the neural activity that appears to produce this di...
