Mitochondria produce most of the cellular ATP by the process of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and generate most of the endogenous oxygen radicals as a toxic by-product. In addition, mitochondria ...

In each type of cell, like a muscle cell or a skin cell, different genes are expressed (turned on) or silenced (turned off). If the cells that are turned on mutate, they could—depending on what role ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A multidisciplinary team of pharmaceutics and computer-science researchers at the University at Buffalo, one of very few teams in the nation applying DNA microarray technology in ...

Most pharmaceuticals sold today have their origin in a biochemistry laboratory. Drug discovery has traditionally started with a biochemical pathway implicated in a pathophysiological process. An ...

Researchers at Beijing Genomics and IMDEA Nanociencia institutes have introduced a novel method that could significantly accelerate efficiency and reduce the cost of handling fluidics in DNA ...

DNA microarray chips enable the parallel investigation of a given sample concerning the presence and amount of specific DNA sequences within that sample. Whereas today such chips utilize optical ...

Hitachi Software Engineering Co. Ltd. and a Japanese venture DNA Chip Research Inc. have jointly developed DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) chips that carry about the same number of genes as the full human ...
