The ANKRD-26 gene responsible for the lack of platelets, will now be easier to correctly diagnose the disease and choose the most appropriate treatment. Identified the genetic cause of a rare hereditary disease due to acute shortage of platelets, blood components responsible for the arrest of bleeding: So says a research financed by Telethon and [...]
A long standing mystery is why the hepatitis B virus (HBV) discriminates sexually striking men more than women. Scientists in China say they have the answer to find an unusual liver protein found only in men only and may help explain this act of discrimination. Chronic hepatitis B progresses and cause liver damage in men [...]
As for justice, the visuals are the best evidence to prove something back for scientists to observe in vivo processes is also essential and is always a big challenge. New video footage of a virus that infects cells suggests that viruses spread much faster than we thought. The discovery of this mechanism will create new [...]
In a unique experiment of its kind, the unique conditions of space flight were used to examine how the cells remain healthy or succumb to infection with human cells. At 3:21 am PDT on April 5, researchers at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, will see their latest experiment launched into Earth orbit on [...]
Viruses have played an important role in shaping human genetic variability, stomata according to a study published Feb. 19 in the open access journal PLoS Genetics. Researchers at the University of Milan and the Milan Polytechnic, Italy, used population genetics to identify genetic variants that increase susceptibility to viral infections or protect us from such [...]
