"The dogma has been that we're born with a fixed amount of RPE, but there is growing evidence retinal progenitor cells exist in the adult," said Lawrence R...New research finds surveys of larval-stage organisms effective for measuring marine biodiversity
...t's unique about this study is that we didn't just discover new species, we used DNA barcoding to quantify how much biodiversity is out there that we don't know about." According to Barber, the results suggest that examining marine life in the larval stage offers a new and highly effective way to estimate bi...New study reveals signaling pathways required for expansion of pancreas stem cells

The progression of pancreatic stem cells to beta cells is ...When it comes to gene transcription, random pauses aren’t quite so random, study finds
... "When you study an RNAP enzyme at that scale, you discover that it moves along the DNA for a while, and then for no apparent reason it appears to stop. Some pauses we've already figured out. The really long ones, which happen every 1,000 bases or so and last up to 30 minutes, often occur when the enzyme make...Other Tagspayments 2payments 3payments 4deletion 2underwater 2underwater 3Other Contentsproboscisproducersproducersproducersproducersprogenyprogenyprogenyprogenyprogesteroneprogesteroneprogesteroneprogesteroneprogesteroneprogesteronedeathdeathdeathdeathdeathdeathdeathdeathdeathprogrammedprogrammedprogrammedprogrammedprogrammedprogrammedprogrammedprogrammedprokaryotesprokaryotesprokaryotesprokaryotes
