Why juniper trees can live on less water
An ability to avoid the plant equivalent of vapor lock and a favorable evolutionary history may explain the unusual drought resistance of junipers, some varieties of which are now spreading rapidly in water-starved regions of the western United States, a Duke University study has found.   view more (2008-02-28)

Shilatifard and colleagues identify a potential target for treatment of mixed lineage leukemia
Ali Shilatifard, Ph.D., Investigator, has identified a cellular factor that can reverse histone trimethylation caused by the trithorax gene, the Drosophila homologue of the human mixed lineage leukemia gene, MLL. MLL, which is found in translocations in a variety of hematological malignancies, is a... view more (2007-03-12)

New insight into the controls on a go-to enzyme
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have gained new insights into regulation of one of the body's enzyme workhorses called calpains.   view more (2008-11-20)

First Look at an Enzyme Target for Antibacterial and Cancer Drugs
The veil has finally been lifted on an enzyme that is critical to the process of DNA transcription and replication, and is a prime target of antibacterial and anticancer drugs.   view more (2007-12-21)

Scientists identify molecular cause for one form of deafness
Scientists exploring the physics of hearing have found an underlying molecular cause for one form of deafness, and a conceptual connection between deafness and the organization of liquid crystals, which are used in flat-panel displays.   view more (2007-02-06)

Scientists develop new method to investigate origin of life
Scientists at Penn State have developed a new computational method that they say will help them to understand how life began on Earth.   view more (2008-09-02)

Flick of a protein switches immune response
A single protein can turn on and off a key component of the immune system by changing partners in an elegant genomic dance, said researchers at the University of Southern California and Harvard Medical School.   view more (2006-07-28)

How nature tinkers with the cellular clock
The life of a cell is all about growing and dividing at the right time. That is why the cell cycle is one of the most tightly regulated cellular processes.   view more (2006-09-28)

Amber reveals ecology of 30 million year old spiders
Scientists at The University of Manchester and the Manchester Metropolitan University have carried out the first comparative scientific study of ancient spiders trapped in amber more than 30 millions years ago.   view more (2006-03-01)

BCM, Rice make major advance in structural biology
Scientists from Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and Rice University have discovered a new way to analyze the moving parts of large proteins - a breakthrough that will make it easier for structural biologists to classify and scrutinize the active sites of proteins implicated in cancer and other... view more (2007-05-01)

Workman Lab characterizes novel regulator of chromosome function
The Stowers Institute's Workman Lab has shed new light on a novel histone acetyltransferase protein complex called ATAC. Acetyltransferases are enzymes that introduce a new acetyl functional group into histone proteins, a process by which all chromosome functions are controlled.   view more (2008-03-11)
