Seeing a neurotoxin's deadly grip
Two Howard Hughes Medical Institute research teams working independently have discovered new information about how the botulinum neurotoxin shuts down neurons with deadly efficiency.   view more (2006-12-14)

New protein vital for immune response is found
A newly discovered protein not only is vital to the immune system's ability to fight off viral infections but also has been found in an unexpected location within the cell, causing researchers to rethink previous notions about the workings of the human immune system.   view more (2005-08-26)

Making a face: A new and earlier marker of neural crest development
The fate of cells that go on to form the face, skull and nerve centers of the head and neck in vertebrates is determined much earlier in development than previously thought, and is independent of interaction with other forming tissues.   view more (2006-07-12)

Protein plays broader role than originally thought in neurofibromatosis
Neurofibromatosis type I is a common genetic disorder in which tumors grow along certain types of nerves and can also affect other tissues such as bone, heart, and skin.   view more (2006-08-11)

Genetic variation linked to age-related macular degeneration
The combination of a certain genetic variation, along with inflammatory factors and smoking, significantly increases the risk of the vision disorder age-related macular degeneration   view more (2006-07-19)

Enzyme shreds Alzheimer's protein
An enzyme found naturally in the brain snips apart the protein that forms the sludge called amyloid plaque that is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), researchers have found.   view more (2006-09-21)

Genome of yellow fever/dengue fever mosquito sequenced
Developing new strategies to prevent and control yellow fever and dengue fever has become more possible with the completion of the first draft of the genome sequence of Aedes aegypti mosquito by scientists led by Vishvanath Nene at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) and David Severson at the... view more (2007-05-18)

Researchers discover molecular basis of a form of muscular dystrophy
A team of French and German researchers report in the May 2008 print issue of The FASEB Journal (http://www.fasebj.org) that people with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy are missing a protein called c-FLIP, which the body uses to prevent the loss of muscle tissue.   view more (2008-04-30)

When is a stem cell not really a stem cell?
Working with embryonic mouse brains, a team of Johns Hopkins scientists seems to have discovered an almost-too-easy way to distinguish between "true" neural stem cells and similar, but less potent versions.   view more (2007-08-27)

Scientists discover novel way to remove iron from ferritin
A new study led by Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute senior scientist, Elizabeth Theil, Ph.D., is the first to suggest that a small protein or heptapeptide (seven amino acids wrapped into one unit) could be used to accelerate the removal of iron from ferritin.   view more (2007-11-05)

Novel mechanism for DNA replication discovered
Since the discovery of the structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, the paradigm for DNA replication has stated that the DNA itself codes for the appropriate pairings for replication.   view more (2005-09-30)

Rice lab finds molecular clues to Wilson disease
Using a combination of computer simulations and cutting-edge lab experiments, physical biochemists at Rice University have discovered how a small genetic mutation -- which is known to cause Wilson disease -- subtly changes the structure of a large, complex protein that the body uses to keep copper... view more (2008-08-20)

Egg P bodies protect maternal gene messages
A cell decides what proteins to make based on the messages it receives from its genome. Sometimes messages are held back to be read later, and in most cell types these delayed messages are stored and eventually marked for destruction in P bodies (processing bodies).   view more (2008-08-11)

Glue inside the cell: Ubiquitin builds up an immune response
Ubiquitin is a small protein, which can be attached to other cellular proteins, a process known as ubiquitination. Discoveries in the 1980 th on a key function of ubiquitination in the regulation of protein degradation where awarded with the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 2004.   view more (2007-10-22)

Discovery of new protein could provide new understanding of male fertility
Scientists have discovered a new enzyme involved in the degradation of proteins inside cells, a process that helps eliminate or recycle proteins that are no longer needed.   view more (2007-08-03)

The key to the lock that controls nitrogen fixation
"Bacteria that fix nitrogen only do so when they sense that there is very little nitrogen available in their environment," says Professor Ray Dixon (Project Leader at the JIC. "Normally the genes for nitrogen fixation are locked off and only unlocked and used when nitrogen levels in... view more (2004-11-04)

G-Zero Finds that Ghostly Strange Quarks Influence Proton Structure
In research performed at the Department of Energy's Jefferson Lab, nuclear physicists have found that strange quarks do contribute to the structure of the proton. This result indicates that, just as previous experiments have hinted, strange quarks in the proton's quark-gluon sea contribute to a... view more (2005-06-20)

Scientists find key to ocean bacterium that helps control greenhouse gas
Scientists are a step closer to understanding how the world's oceans influence global warming - as well supply us with the oxygen we breathe. A study led by Imperial College London has revealed how the most abundant ocean bound photosynthetic bacterium helps control levels of the greenhouse gas,... view more (2003-08-27)

Potential new target for multiple sclerosis therapy
Researchers demonstrate both genetic and pharmaceutical evidence for the role of a protein called collagenase-2 in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS), providing a potential new way to combat this debilitating disease.   view more (2008-03-31)

MIT finds most complex protein knot ever seen
An MIT team has discovered the most complicated knot ever seen in a protein, and they believe it may be linked to the protein's function as a rescue agent for proteins marked for destruction.   view more (2006-09-26)

Disease-causing protein protects against nerve damage in Parkinson's disease
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that a protein associated with causing neurodegenerative conditions may, when appearing in normal amounts, actually protect against neurodegeneration.   view more (2005-11-04)

A new approach to prevent cancer
Scientists at the University of Dundee have identified a way of inactivating a naturally occurring human protein, a development which could offer new routes to developing cancer prevention treatments.   view more (2005-05-10)

Cherie Booth QC opens world-leading genomics research facility at CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory
Cherie Booth QC today opened a world-leading facility at CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory which is designed to understand how genes make proteins. The £3 million facility will use powerful X-rays from Daresbury Laboratory's Synchrotron Radiation Source and advanced automation techniques to solve... view more (2005-01-28)

Safer shipping by predicting sand wave behaviour
Dutch researcher Joris van den Berg has developed a mathematical model to predict the movement of sand waves. Sand waves are formed by an interaction between the tidal current and sand.   view more (2007-07-13)
