The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, has launched an early-stage clinical trial to evaluate an investigational preventative vaccine for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV is...
Mitosis in moss plants could be far more similar to animal cell division than...
For a new plant to grow from a seed, cells need to divide numerous times. Daughter cells can each take on different tasks and sometimes vary in size. How plants determine the plane of...
Caloric Restriction’s Effect on Lifespan Extension in Mice Depends on Timing
Many people are interested (and invested) in finding ways to extend lifespan. Studies done in animal models support the hypothesis that caloric restriction can extend lifespan, however, the mechanism remains poorly understood. Caloric restriction...
New technique can accurately detect viruses in tumors from clinical next-generation sequencing
Researchers have developed a method to accurately detect viruses from clinical next-generation sequencing and describe novel associations between specific tumors and viruses that warrant further investigation. This information makes it more feasible to consider...
Cell division in moss and animals more similar than previously thought
For a new plant to grow from a seed, cells need to divide numerous times. Daughter cells can each take on different tasks and sometimes vary in size. How plants determine the plane of...
