Kids With ADHD Could Be More Sensitive To Failure
For children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, if at first they don't succeed, do they try, and try again?
Human Antisense RNA Can Boost Protein Expression, Not Only Repress It
Researchers from RIKEN have shown for the first time that human RNA sequences can not only inhibit protein expression, but also boost it.
Nemo And Other Reef Fish Can See Colors We Can’t
If Disney's Nemo, Marlin and Dory were real, they would probably be able to see color regions in greater detail than we can.
This Protein From Micro-animal Shields DNA From Lethal Radiation
A novel protein discovered from an eight-legged microscopic aquatic animal helps human cells stay resilient to extremely high levels of radiation.
Stop Right There! These Genes Cause Cell-Cycle Arrest
Scientists have identified genes linked to cell senescence, the permanent arrest of cell growth.
Forget Pokémon. Hunt For Centaur Rings Instead!
It is highly likely that minor planets called centaurs with rings or small moons exist, awaiting discovery by future observations.
Gatekeeper Gene Suppressed Breast Cancer Tumors In Mice
The study was prompted by the discovery that Nrk-mutant mice frequently exhibited breast tumors after repetitive pregnancies or births.
RNA Editing Gone Awry Could Indicate Gastric Cancer
Proteins involved in RNA editing could potentially be used as biomarkers to detect gastric cancer at an early stage, a study finds.
Laser Imaging Reveals Skin Color Of Triceratops’ Cousin
Laser imaging of Psittacosaurus, an early relative of Triceratops, suggests that it had lighter and darker areas of skin that worked as a camouflage of sorts.
