Could microbes solve Russia's chemical weapons conundrum?
One of nature's most versatile microorganisms - a bacterium called Pseudomonas putida - could help mop up the toxic by-products caused by the destruction of the chemical weapon mustard, write Russian researchers in Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology this month.   view more (2005-03-04)

Study identifies glucose 'sensor' that plays dual role in glucose metabolism and fat synthesis
In the study, glucose is shown to stimulate the activity of the Liver X Receptors (LXR) a and b, The LXRs act as sensors of dietary components, orchestrating the body's response to nutrients such as oxysterols (short-lived derivatives of cholesterol) and controlling gene expression linked to cholesterol and fat metabolism.   view more (2006-12-27)

New Strategy for Inhibiting Virus Replication
Viruses need living cells for replication and production of virus progeny. Thus far, antiviral therapy primarily targets viral factors but often induces therapy resistance. New improved therapies attempt to targets cellular factors that are essential for viral replication.    view more (2009-08-17)
