Using recent advances in genetic sequencing technology, researchers have significantly improved upon previous assemblies of the gorilla genome.
View ArticleCompact drug synthesizer could revolutionize drug delivery
Researchers have developed a system the size of a household fridge that can synthesize a variety of pharmaceuticals in short periods of time, including an antihistamine, an antidepressant, a common...
View ArticleWhite dwarf star exhibits an unusual atmosphere of oxygen
Researchers have discovered a white dwarf star with an atmosphere dominated by oxygen, a type of white dwarf that has been theorized to exist but not identified to date.
View ArticleCardioprotective effects of lysyl oxidase inhibition
The collagen cross-linking enzyme, lysyl oxidase (LOX), is elevated in many cardiac diseases and is associated with fibrosis. Here, we report that inhibition of LOX activity provided significant...
