Hot Paper in the Biochemical Journal
DNA DAMAGE INSIGHT An exciting new paper from the Biochemical Journal regarding the phosphorylation state of LKB1 in response to ionising radiation can be viewed online as an Immediate Publication at www.BiochemJ.org (DOI: 10.1042/BJ20021284). Researchers at the University of Dundee, the University of Calgary and Tel Aviv University collaborated... view more... (2002-09-20)
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)
Columbia University Medical Center researchers discover potential mechanism for tumor growth
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have identified an inherent feature of stem and progenitor cells that may promote initiation and progression of cancerous tumors. view more (2005-12-16)
Gene may hold key to future cancer hope
Scientists may have discovered a new way of killing tumours in what they hope could one day lead to alternative forms of cancer treatments. view more (2007-10-09)
Paradoxical protein might prevent cancer
One difficulty with fighting cancer cells is that they are similar in many respects to the body's stem cells. By focusing on the differences, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have found a new way of tackling colon cancer. The study is presented in the prestigious journal Cell. view more (2009-11-16)
New Understanding Of Role Of Breast Cancer Gene In Normal Function And Disease
Researchers at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Cancer Cell Unit, Cambridge have gained an important new insight into the role of the breast cancer gene known as BRCA2. It appears to have a key function in cell division which needs to happen accurately for normal cell reproduction and repair, otherwise disease occurs. The findings are published... view more...

Yeast gives rise to new concept: cell fuel is 'brains' behind division
With the cost of diesel and gasoline getting nearer to the hourly minimum wage, too bad the fuel doesn't do more work - like deciding what route to take and pressing the gas pedal. view more (2008-04-28)
Geneticists Determine The Lack Of Chromosomes
A healthy person's genome contains 46 chromosomes, but an individual cell can contain less. Contemporary methods allow to determine the value of losses rather accurately. The Tomsk researchers' effort has been supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research. An average statistical cell of a healthy person contains 46 chromosomes. But a... view more...

Scientists identify possible cause of endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition whereby patches of the inner lining of the womb appear in parts of the body other than the womb cavity. It can cause severe pain and affects approximately 15% of women of reproductive age. Endometriosis is also associated with infertility, with 50% of infertile women affected by the condition. view more (2008-08-06)
New advances in cancer research to be highlighted at University of Leicester
A scientist whose work is key to understanding how cancer cells divide and spread in the body is to present advances in his latest research at a public forum to be held at the University of Leicester. view more (2009-04-22)
RNA found in the cellular centrosome of surf clams
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole and Louisiana State University (LSU) Health Sciences Center have discovered the presence of the genetic material RNA in the centrosome, the organizing structure inside each cell that assures proper cell division. view more (2006-06-07)
Caesar researchers discover a mechanism in the pathogenesis of breast cancer
New approaches in breast cancer therapy view more (2005-05-17)
Evolution and the workaround
Living things are resourceful, which is a comforting thought unless the living thing in question is a pathogen or a cancer cell. Noxious cells excel at developing drug resistance, outwitting immune systems, and evading cellular controls. view more (2006-12-11)
A unique arrangement for egg cell division
Which genes are passed on from mother to child is decided very early on during the maturation of the egg cell in the ovary. view more (2007-08-10)
Rockefeller researchers show evidence of asymmetric cell division in mammalian skin
It took almost 10 years for Elaine Fuchs, Ph.D., a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Rockefeller University, to find a postdoctoral fellow who shared her curiosity for the direction of cell divisions in the skin. view more (2005-08-17)
Computer scientists develop model for studying arrangements of tissue networks by cell division
Computer scientists at Harvard have developed a framework for studying the arrangement of tissue networks created by cell division across a diverse set of organisms, including fruit flies, tadpoles, and plants. view more (2009-06-18)
NYU biologists identify gene that coordinates two cellular processes
A team of biologists at New York University's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics has uncovered a dual role for the gene mel-28. The gene plays a part in ensuring that chromosomes are divided properly during cell division and it is required for nuclear envelope function. view more (2006-09-06)
LSUHSC research finds evidence of RNA in structures essential to cell division
Research led by Mark Alliegro, PhD, Professor of Cell Biology and Anatomy at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center at New Orleans, provides evidence for the first time that centrosomes, which play a key role in cell division, may carry their own genetic machinery, answering a controversial question of long standing. view more (2006-06-14)
Novel connection found between biological clock and cancer
Dartmouth Medical School geneticists have discovered that DNA damage resets the cellular circadian clock, suggesting links among circadian timing, the cycle of cell division, and the propensity for cancer. view more (2006-06-30)
New Scripps Research study finds T-cell multiplication unexpectedly delayed after infection
In a surprising outcome that overturns the conventional wisdom on the body's immune response to infection, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have shown that T cells do not begin proliferation until up to three days after infection. view more (2008-04-11)
