A mutation in a glutamate transporter causes EA6 by disrupting neural cell function. Treatments remain elusive, but the study sheds light on the mutation’s effects and evolutionary significance. Episodic ataxia type 6 is a rare neurological disorder that affects only a small number of individuals ...
A mutation changes the DNA of an organism in a way that affects its offspring, either immediately or several generations down the line. The change brought about by a mutation is either beneficial, harmful or neutral. If the change is harmful, then it is unlikely that the offspring will ...

Bacterial chemotaxis requires bidirectional flagellar rotation at different rates. Rotation is driven by a flagellar motor, which is a supercomplex containing multiple rings. Architectural uncertainty regarding the cytoplasmic C-ring, or ‘switch’, limi
Briefly describe, in your own words, how the single cell formed at fertilization differentiates into different types of cells. What are gametes formed by? A woman has a mutation that causes the zona pellucida be tough and not disintegrate after the egg was fertilized. How would her fertili...
Is RNA involved at all in DNA replication? How is ribosomal RNA synthesized? How did RNA polymerase come into existence? Was it due to a mutation in the genetic code? The process of making RNA from the DNA is called ___ and it occurs in the ___. How does ...
The evolution of plants to efficiently transport water and assimilates over long distances is a major evolutionary success that facilitated their growth and colonization of land. Vascular tissues, namely xylem and phloem, are characterized by high specia
Eric Domingo, who serves as undersecretary for the Department of Health of the Philippines, sums up the Dengvaxia tale best of all: “It just turned into this gigantic monster,” he tellsFortune. But what’s truly frightening is how quickly this monster formed, and how easily. What happened...
The medical industry is evolving, and additive manufacturing (AM) is playing a key role in driving innovation. From custom prosthetics and anatomical models to patient-specific medical devices, 3D printing enables faster, cost-effective, and highly personalized solutions. ...
