Markita Landry is the first to admit that the two applications her research addresses – imaging brain chemistry and delivering genetic material into plants – are rather divergent.

The Zika virus modifies the chemical composition of human skin, making individuals more attractive to mosquitoes. These ...

A new UCLA Health study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease ...

Thousands of lawsuits cite studies linking paraquat to Parkinson’s disease. The EPA says the evidence doesn't warrant a ban ...

Changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth by increasing cancer stemness in an oestrogen independent manner. Targeting vimentin and/or the long ...
