According to a recent study, nuts have a positive effect on health because, among other things, they are involved in activating the body's own defences for detoxifying reactive oxygen species

The findings may settle a fundamental question in molecular biology and could help scientists develop new therapies for diseases such as cancer where abnormal amounts of protein accumulate

While HPLC and mass spec make inroads into nontraditional markets, interest remains in molecular techniques that address the unique needs of  clinicians and drug developers.

This is an important discovery for breast cancer patients with poor overall survival and disease-free survival (DFS) prognose

Scientists from the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in Austria (IMBA) have now unraveled the precise mechanisms by which germline cells produce a class of small RNA

Western blotting separates proteins by size and shape with an electric field applied to a gel, and then targeted proteins are stained with antibodies

“There is a lot of research money in this high-profile area, and women are not represented proportionally," researcher says

A new technique that allowed researchers to analyze genetic material from serum samples of HIV patients taken before AIDS was known provides a glimpse into the beginnings of the epidemic

To quantify nucleic acids, DNA, or RNA, scientists often use the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)
