Tiny protein provokes healthy bonding between cells In human relationships, a certain "spark" often governs whether we prefer one person to another, and critical first impressions can occur within seconds. A team lead by Johns Hopkins researchers has found that cell-to-cell "friendships" operate in much the same way and that... view more (2008-11-26)
MIT engineers show how tiny cell proteins generate force to 'walk' MIT researchers have shown how a cell motor protein exerts the force to move, enabling functions such as cell division. view more (2008-11-25)
Med school discovery could lead to better cancer diagnosis, drugs A Florida State University College of Medicine research team led by Yanchang Wang has discovered an important new layer of regulation in the cell division cycle, which could lead to a greater understanding of the way cancer begins. view more (2008-11-24)
New research helps explain genetics of Parkinson's disease A new study by Narendra et al. suggests that Parkin, the product of the Parkinson's disease-related gene Park2, prompts neuronal survival by clearing the cell of its damaged mitochondria. view more (2008-11-24)
New material could make gases more transportable Chemists at the University of Liverpool have developed a way of converting methane gas into a powder form in order to make it more transportable. view more (2008-11-21)
Oak Ridge supercomputer is the world's fastest for science A Cray XT high-performance computing system at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the world's fastest supercomputer for science. view more (2008-11-18)
UNC researchers find clue to stopping breast-cancer metastasis If scientists knew exactly what a breast cancer cell needs to spread, then they could stop the most deadly part of the disease: metastasis. New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine takes a step in that direction. view more (2008-11-18)
New molecular insight into vertebrate brain development In the December 1st issue of G&D, Dr. Fred H. Gage (The Salk Institute for Biological Studies) and colleagues reveal a role for the Hippo signaling pathway in the regulation of vertebrate neural development, identifying new factors - and potential therapeutic targets - that may be involved in... view more (2008-11-18)
Intraspinal implant of mesenchymal stem cells may not heal the demyelinated spinal cord Multiple sclerosis is a disease caused by the loss of the myelinated sheath surrounding the nerve fibers of the spinal cord. view more (2008-11-13)
Nanoparticles trigger cell death? Nanoparticles that are one milliard of a metre in size are widely used, for example, in cosmetics and food packaging materials. view more (2008-11-13)
The bonsai effect: Wounded plants make jasmonates, inhibiting cell division, stunting growth It is well known that plants growing under unfavourable conditions are generally smaller than those growing in stress-free conditions: indeed it is estimated that in the US, abiotic stress reduces the yield of agricultural crops by an average of 22%. view more (2008-11-12)
Researchers aim to over-stress already taxed mantle cell lymphoma cells Cancer cells are already stressed by the fast pace they require to grow and spread and scientists believe a little more stress just may kill them. view more (2008-11-11)
When a good nanoparticle goes bad Researchers at Cornell University recently made a major breakthrough when they invented a method to test and demonstrate a long-held hypothesis that some very, very small metal particles work much better than others in various chemical processes such as converting chemical energy to electricity in... view more (2008-11-11)
Researchers use chemical from medicinal plants to fight HIV Like other kinds of cells, immune cells lose the ability to divide as they age because a part of their chromosomes known as a telomere becomes progressively shorter with cell division. As a result, the cell changes in many ways, and its disease fighting ability is compromised. view more (2008-11-10)
What makes an axon an axon? Inside every axon is a dendrite waiting to get out. Hedstrom et al. converted mature axons into dendrites by banishing a protein crucial for neuron development. view more (2008-11-10)
UC Davis researchers discover Achilles' heel in pancreatic cancer UC Davis Cancer Center researchers have discovered a metabolic deficiency in pancreatic cancer cells that can be used to slow the progress of the deadliest of all cancers. view more (2008-11-07)
Children's Hospital study demonstrates how bone marrow transplant can cure sickle cell disease A unique approach to bone marrow transplantation pioneered in part by a Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC physician has proven to be the only safe and effective cure for sickle cell disease, according to a new study. view more (2008-11-07)
Chandrayaan-1 now in lunar transfer trajectory Yesterday, following a fifth orbit-raising manoeuvre, the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft successfully settled into a trajectory that will take it to the Moon. view more (2008-11-06)
Hydrogen tank lighter than battery Dutch-sponsored researcher Robin Gremaud has shown that an alloy of the metals magnesium, titanium and nickel is excellent at absorbing hydrogen. view more (2008-11-05)
New type of fuel found in Patagonia fungus A team led by a Montana State University professor has found a fungus that produces a new type of diesel fuel, which they say holds great promise. view more (2008-11-04)
Stem cell therapies for heart disease -- 1 step closer New research from the University of Bristol brings stem cell therapies for heart disease one step closer. The findings reveal that our bodies' ability to respond to an internal 'mayday' signal may hold the key to success for long-awaited regenerative medicine. view more (2008-10-31)
A new Eph receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed in gastric cancer was found The potential role of Eph receptor and ephrin ligand family in human cancer is receiving increasing attention. Compared with other Eph receptors, EphA4 is distinguished by its ability to bind to both type A ephrins and most type B ephrins. view more (2008-10-29)
Scientists probe Antarctic glaciers for clues to past and future sea level Scientists from the U.S., U.K. and Australia have teamed up to explore two of the last uncharted regions of Earth, the Aurora and Wilkes Subglacial Basins, immense ice-buried lowlands in Antarctica with a combined area the size of Mexico. view more (2008-10-28)
New cell division mechanism discovered A novel cell division mechanism has been discovered in a microorganism that thrives in hot acid. The finding may also result in insights into key processes in human cells, and in a better understanding of the main evolutionary lineages of life on Earth. view more (2008-10-28)
Mediator in communication between neurons and muscle cells found A missing piece of the puzzle of how neurons and muscle cells establish lifelong communication has been found by researchers who suspect this piece may be mutated and/or attacked in muscular dystrophy. view more (2008-10-23)
