Cancer Chromosome Abnormalities Visualized in Living Cells Researchers have observed for the first time how broken ends of chromosomes incorrectly reattach to each other—an abnormality common in cancer cells. Chromosomes are structures inside our cells that are made up of tightly coiled DNA. The DNA contains genes, which instruct the cell how to make specific […]
Malaria Vaccine Found Safe and Protective A candidate malaria vaccine is safe and protects against infection in adults, according to the results of an early-stage clinical trial.

Mutated Genes in Schizophrenia Map to Brain Networks Researchers found that people with schizophrenia have a high number of spontaneous mutations in genes that form a network in the front region of the brain. The findings reveal further clues about the causes of the disorder. Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe brain disorder. People with schizophrenia […]
Stem Cells Coaxed To Create Working Blood Vessels Scientists directed human stem cells to form networks of tiny blood vessels that can connect to the existing circulation in mice. The finding might assist future efforts to repair and regenerate tissues and organs, which need an adequate blood supply to grow and survive. Blood flow is […]
Structure of a Potential Diabetes Drug Target Researchers have determined and analyzed the structure of the human glucagon receptor. The findings may aid in the development of drugs for type 1 and type 2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders. When blood glucose levels rise, such as after a meal, your pancreas releases the hormone insulin. […]
Working Up a Sweat May Help Reduce Stroke Risk New findings suggest that breaking a sweat during regular physical activity may lower your risk of having a stroke.
