New research into the mechanisms of neurofibromatosis finds that flaws in the gene Nf1 can lead to a biochemical domino effect that results in tumors. The research, which appears in the January 10 ...

As an assist to his students back in 1960, microbiologist Donald Nicholson sketched out a big chart of metabolic pathways; he thought it would help them to have it pinned up on a wall for ready ...

The pathway consisting of the receptor programmed cell death 1 (PD-1; also called CD279) and its ligands, PD-L1 (B7-H1 or CD274) and PD-L2 (B7-DC or CD273), plays a vital role in the maintenance of ...

When I joined medical school as a teacher/student, I was mildly surprised to hear that biochemistry had a "bad rep" on campus. Many people told me that they felt that if they could get through ...
