New insight into Alzheimer's disease pathology
An Alzheimer's-related protein helps form and maintain nerve cell connections, according to a study published in the May 4 print issue of the Journal of Cell Biology and online at www.jcb.org. view more (2009-05-04)
Mutation improves memory, may lead to memory-enhancing pill
A mind-altering mutation in mice results in an enhanced long-term memory, researchers report in the April 6, 2007 issue of the journal Cell, published by Cell Press. These findings point to a potential target for the development of a drug to treat memory loss, according to the researchers. view more (2007-04-06)
Iowa State University researcher shows proteins have controlled motions
Iowa State University researcher Robert Jernigan believes that his research shows proteins have controlled motions. view more (2008-08-28)
Is there more to prion protein than mad cow disease?
Prion protein, a form of protein that triggers BSE, is associated with other brain diseases in cattle, raising the possibility of a significant increase in the range of prion disease. view more (2008-09-30)
One Signal Elicits Thousands of Answers
Cell signaling mechanisms often transmit information via protein modifications, most importantly the reversible attachment of phosphate, the so-called protein phosphorylation. view more (2006-11-13)
Ruminating cows receive digestive aid
Scientists at the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research are developing new plant breeding techniques which can improve the efficiency of cow digestion and reduce pollution at the same time. Grass isn't the easiest food to digest, and even cows appear to have difficulty doing it efficiently. Dr. Alison Kingston-Smith and Mrs. Rosalind... view more... (2004-04-01)
Formation of cellulose fibers tracked for the first time
Cellulose-a fibrous molecule found in all plants-is the most abundant biological material on Earth. view more (2006-04-21)
MIT engineers show how tiny cell proteins generate force to 'walk'
MIT researchers have shown how a cell motor protein exerts the force to move, enabling functions such as cell division. view more (2008-11-25)
Scientists pinpoint protein link to fat storage
A protein found present in all cells in the body could help scientists better understand how we store fat. view more (2009-09-18)
Carbohydrate acts as tumor suppressor
Scientists at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have discovered that specialized complex sugar molecules (glycans) that anchor cells into place act as tumor suppressors in breast and prostate cancers. view more (2009-07-07)
Tearing down the fungal cell wall
Scientists at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute and Duke University Medical Center have pinpointed a fungal gene that appears to play an important role in the development and virulence of Alternaria brassicicola. view more (2006-12-05)
Lungs try to repair damaged elastic fibers
The lungs of patients suffering chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) attempt to repair damaged elastic fibers, a new finding that contradicts the conventional wisdom on the capabilities of the adult lung. view more (2006-11-03)
Transcription factor protein's role in cell death, neurodegeneration and schizophrenia
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine discovered that a protein called Elk-1 interacts with mitochondria, the energy storehouse of a cell, suggesting that this protein -— typically active in the nucleus — could play a role in cell death and mitochondria-related diseases such as neurodegeneration and... view more...

UF researchers devise way to calculate rates of evolution
"Survival of the fittest" has popularly described evolution for more than a century, but a new study published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters provides further evidence that random genetic mutations over millions of years may also play a powerful role. view more (2007-10-05)
Yes-associated protein: Early diagnosis of gastric carcinoma
Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a type of cellular adaptor protein and transcriptional co-activator. view more (2009-09-16)
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)
Microwave synthesis connects with the (quantum) dots
Materials researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a simplified, low-cost process for producing high-quality, water-soluble "quantum dots" for biological research. view more (2008-06-13)
Scientists isolate protein that may be 'boon' to medicine
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have isolated a unique protein that appears to have a dual function and could lead to a "boon in medicine." view more (2009-08-05)
CSH Protocols publishes cutting-edge methods for analyzing complex molecular interactions
With the genomes of hundreds of organisms now catalogued, one of the next major challenges is to identify proteins and their interactions. view more (2006-10-05)
Roles of S100A2 and p63 in the carcinogenesis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
As a member of the S100 family, S100A2 is considered a candidate tumor-suppressor gene. Recently, p63 gene, a new member of the p53 gene family, has been studied in the fields of tumorigenesis, cell apoptosis and tissue growth. view more (2009-09-17)
