A twist in the tail - Leeds researchers show how sperm wriggle.
In a discovery with far-reaching potential for advances in infertility treatment, scientists at the University of Leeds have identified what makes sperm wriggle and swim. The answer lies in a protein called dynein. The scientists have taken the first photographs of individual molecules of dynein,... view more (2003-02-11)

Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found how two molecules fight in the blood to control the spread of cancer cells.   view more (2007-01-09)

To sleep, perchance to dream: New insight into melatonin production
In the April 1 issue of G&D, a Korean research team led by Dr. Kyong-Tai Kim (Pohang University) describes how melatonin production is coordinated with the body's natural sleep/wake cycles.   view more (2007-04-02)

3 newly discovered ERK pathway proteins related to CagA induced disease
Cytotoxin-associated gene A protein (CagA) from type I H.pylori has been proved by epidemiological and experimental studies to be closely associated with the H.pylori induced gastric diseases, especially gastric cancer.   view more (2008-02-25)

UCSD study reveals the regulatory mechanism of key enzyme
Research conducted at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine has shed new light on the structure and function of one of the key proteins in all mammalian cells, protein kinase A (PKA), an enzyme which plays an essential role in memory formation, communication between... view more (2007-09-21)

New mutation that causes atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome identified
Researchers from the University of Newcastle, UK, have identified a novel genetic change that causes one form of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) a rare, chronic disease that causes kidney failure and which can run in families.   view more (2006-10-31)

New gene regulation mechanism discovered
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have discovered a new kind of messenger RNA molecule that is converted from non-protein coding status to protein coding status in response to cellular stress such as viral infection.   view more (2005-10-21)

Where's the beef? Not enough of it is on elders' plates, muscle-metabolism study suggests
Scientists at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston have good news for people who want to stay strong in their old age: older bodies are just as good as young ones at turning protein-rich food into muscle.   view more (2007-08-09)

Jefferson researchers find lack of protein in obese people is risk factor for kidney, heart disease
Jefferson researchers have found that mice with low levels of the protein hormone adiponectin may also have high levels of a protein called albumin which, in humans, may be a sign of kidney disease.   view more (2005-11-16)

Novel enzyme offers new look at male hormone regulation
For the second time in less than a year, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill scientists have purified a novel protein and have shown it can alter gene activity by reversing a molecular modification previously thought permanent.   view more (2006-05-08)

A protein in the eye may prevent immune response and protect eyes from disease
Scientists at The Schepens Eye Research Institute have discovered that a protein known as F4/80 found on immune cells in the eye and other parts of the body may have a function in the regulation of the body's immune response and protect delicate tissues that cannot survive the... view more (2005-06-22)

Worth a thousand words: Hopkins researchers paint picture of cancer-promoting culprit
They say that a picture can be worth a thousand words. This especially is true for describing the structures of molecules that function to promote cancer. Researchers at Johns Hopkins have built a three-dimensional picture of an enzyme often mutated in many types of cancers.   view more (2008-01-07)

Research into soy will continue but soy is not a solution for heart disease
Many soy food products carry health claims stating that they reduce the risk of heart disease. A review of the evidence, however, suggests that soy's cardiovascular benefits may have been overestimated by the early studies that formed the basis for its health claim.   view more (2006-02-07)

Effect of diet in cattle on N and P emissions to the environment
Over the last decade the market has had a tendency to value food products that are healthy and safe and encourage healthy lifestyles, with the added parameter that their associated production processes are environmentally sound. In the case of systems of cattle production the current and future aim... view more (2003-08-25)

Gladstone investigators identify a new protective action for the powerful anti-HIV factor, APOBEC3G
Scientists at the Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology (GIVI) have identified a previously unknown function of APOBEC3G (A3G), a protein that acts against HIV, a finding that may lead to new approaches for controlling HIV infection.   view more (2006-10-03)

UCSD Study Shows Junk DNA Has Evolutionary Importance
Genetic material derisively called "junk" DNA because it does not contain the instructions for protein-coding genes and appears to have little or no function is actually critically important to an organism's evolutionary survival, according to a study conducted by a biologist at UCSD.   view more (2005-10-20)
