A team funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) is returning to Haiti this week to investigate the cause of the Jan. 12, magnitude 7 earthquake there.
Every cell within a tumor is not genetically identical and this genetic heterogeneity is thought to underlie tumor progression and resistance to therapeutics. A team of researchers has now developed methods to quantitatively describe intratumor gene…
An Australian-German team of scientists has found a way to measure the attention span of a fly. The findings could lead to further advances in the understanding of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism in humans.
