Warplane system could cut mid-air explosion
AIRLINES are facing fresh calls for their aircraft`s fuel tanks to be fitted with explosion-prevention systems like those on military planes. This follows a warning from Boeing that 3200 of its planes may have faulty fuel pumps that could spark explosions. Boeing says a spark from wiring in the... view more (2002-10-02)

Location matters, even for genes
Moving an active gene from the interior of the nucleus to its periphery can inactivate that gene report scientists from the University of Chicago Medical Center in an article to be published early online Feb.13, 2008, in the journal Nature.   view more (2008-02-14)

Wnt signalling protein Dishevelled acts in the nucleus, not just in the cytoplasm
Researchers have identified that Dishevelled doesn't only function in the cytoplasm and at the cell membrane - it must also pass into the nucleus. A study published today in Journal of Biology reveals that Dishevelled, a key player in the Wnt/beta-catenin signalling pathway, has to be localised in... view more (2005-02-11)
