  • Genetic Diversity and the Cheetah

    Cheetahs are endangered animals and found in small numbers in the wild. They show an astonishing lack of genetic diversity, with different animals having almost identical sets of genes. Many researchers feel that this is the reason behind their dwindling numbers.

  • How to Renew Nerve Cells

    The body has an amazing power to heal itself. Small cuts are repaired within days, with damaged muscle fibres, skin and nerve cells being fully restored. But, the central nervous system lets the side down as here self-healing fails. New research may help to regenerate damaged nerves.

  • Micro RNA and Gene Expression

    Genes that code for proteins aren't the only kind of gene. There are thousands that code for micro RNA, which are fundamental to gene regulation and cell health.

  • Chytrid Fungus in Frogs

    Chytrid is a fungus that has been decimating frog populations around the world and has driven a few species to extinction. Amphibians in captivity can be cured with antifungal chemicals, but there isn't any help for animals in the wild. So scientists are trying to work out how the fungus operates.

  • Genetics and the Causes of Obesity

    Scientists have uncovered one of the clearest signs yet that obesity has a genetic component. In a study of 228 women by researchers at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, genetic variants responsible for body shape were discovered.

  • How Genetics is Tackling the Cause of Typhoid

    Typhoid fever is an illness caught by consuming food or drink contaminated with the bacteria Salmonella typhi. Finding out exactly which genes the organism needs to survive could speed up the development of new ways to tackle one of the major causes of disease in the developing world.
