New insights into how the oncogenic protein c-Myc regulates cell growth
New findings by Swedish and German scientists on the regulation of cellular growth are published in the March issue of Nature Cell Biology. view more (2005-02-20)
University of Leicester researchers discover new fluorescent silicon nanoparticles
Researchers in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leicester have developed a new synthesis method, which has led them to the discovery of fluorescent silicon nanoparticles and may ultimately help track the uptake of drugs by the body's cells. view more (2009-07-01)
Sulfurous ping-pong in the urinary tract
Transfer of information is a basic property of biological systems. Common examples include transfer of genetic information or nerve impulses. view more (2008-12-19)
Well-known enzyme is unexpected contributor to brain growth
An enzyme researchers have studied for years because of its potential connections to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and stroke, appears to have yet another major role to play: helping create and maintain the brain. view more (2009-03-12)
Scientists crack 40-year-old DNA puzzle and point to 'hot soup' at the origin of life
A new theory that explains why the language of our genes is more complex than it needs to be also suggests that the primordial soup where life began on earth was hot and not cold, as many scientists believe. view more (2005-08-03)
University of Toronto chemists uncover green catalysts
A University of Toronto research team from the Department of Chemistry has discovered useful "green" catalysts made from iron that might replace the much more expensive and toxic platinum metals typically used in industrial chemical processes to produce drugs, fragrances and flavours. view more (2009-04-14)
Burnham Researchers Turn Cancer Friend into Cancer Foe
Burnham Institute for Medical Research today announced that scientists have created a peptide that binds to Bcl-2, a protein that protects cancer cells from programmed cell death, and converts it into a cancer cell killer. view more (2008-10-08)
Global warming increases species extinctions worldwide
Global warming has already caused extinctions in the most sensitive habitats and will continue to cause more species to go extinct over the next 50 to 100 years, confirms the most comprehensive study since 2003 on the effects of climate change on wild species worldwide by a University of Texas at Austin biologist. view more (2006-11-15)
Protein transport in mitochondria revealed
The TIM23 complex, which regulates the transport of protein to the mitochondria in a cell, is much more complicated than was previously believed. This is shown by Uppsala University researcher Maria Lind in an article in the leading journal Cell. view more (2005-03-31)
Zooming in on the protein-conducting channel
Researchers have gained the most detailed view yet of the heart of the translocon, a channel through which newly constructed proteins are inserted into the cell membrane. view more (2005-11-17)
Low-carbohydrate diets appear effective, but may raise cholesterol levels
A synthesis of data from five previous clinical trials suggests that both low-fat and low-carbohydrate diets appear to be effective for weight loss up to one year, but low-carbohydrate diets may be linked to higher overall and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels. view more (2006-02-14)
Blood-clotting protein modified for people with hard-to-treat hemophilia
Pathologists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston have developed a chemically modified protein that may help people with a hard-to-treat form of a genetic bleeding disorder known as Hemophilia A. view more (2008-05-20)
New Diagnostic Faecal Test Could Identify Colorectal Cancer (p 1917)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe a new technique where the detection of a specific protein in faeces could be a marker for colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is a common disease (causing around 500,000 deaths each year worldwide), and screening methods that are more reliable than colonoscopy and... view more... (2002-05-29)
Scripps Research Scientists Discover Remarkable Editing System For Protein Production
Even small mistakes made by cells during protein production can have profound disease effects, but the processes cells use to correct mistakes have been challenging to decipher. Recent work by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute, however, has uncovered two surprising new methods for such editing. view more (2008-01-03)
Researchers sequence the basal eukaryote Tetrahymena thermophila
In an effort to improve our understanding of eukaryotic evolution, a team of over 50 researchers led by Jonathan Eisen sequenced the macronuclear genome of the single-celled ciliate Tetrahymena themophila. view more (2006-08-29)
The Role Of Phytochromes In Bacteria Revealed
A research team jointly involving the IRD, the CEA and the CNRS has very recently found phytochromes in a strain of nitrogen-fixing bacterium, Bradyrhizobium (1), symbiont on certain tropical leguminous plants (the Aeschynomene). Techniques of molecular biology, biophysics and biochemistry revealed that the newly-discovered phytochrome has an... view more... (2002-05-13)
Study reveals how a common virus eludes the immune system
Viruses have numerous tricks for dodging the immune system. In the September 7, 2009 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology, Stagg et al. reveal a key detail in one of these stratagems, identifying a protein that enables cyto¬megalovirus to shut down an antiviral defense (online August 31). view more (2009-08-31)
ESC Congress 2003: C-reactive protein, an inflammatory biomarker, predicts progression of aortic valve stenosis
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies a poster or oral session given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology Aortic stenosis (AS) is the narrowing or obstruction of the heart's aortic valve, which prevents it from... view more...

Brain cells help neighboring nerves regenerate
Researchers have uncovered a completely unexpected way that the brain repairs nerve damage, wherein cells known as astrocytes deliver a protective protein to nearby neurons. view more (2008-05-28)
New technology illuminates protein interactions in living cells
While fluorescence has long been used to tag biological molecules, a new technology developed at Yale allows researchers to use tiny fluorescent probes to rapidly detect and identify protein interactions within living cells while avoiding the biological disruption of existing methods, according to a report in Nature Chemical Biology. view more (2007-11-12)
