K-State professors discover enzyme responsible for creation of a beetle's hard shell
Kansas State University researchers think their discovery of the enzyme involved in the hardening of a beetle's exoskeleton or cuticle could lead not only to better pest control, but also help create similar strong, lightweight materials for use in aircraft and armor.   view more (2005-08-03)

'Guardian of the genome' protein found to underlie skin tanning
A protein known as the "master watchman of the genome" for its ability to guard against cancer-causing DNA damage has been found to provide an entirely different level of cancer protection: By prompting the skin to tan in response to ultraviolet light from the sun, it deters the... view more (2007-03-09)

Identifying naturally-occurring active ingredients for use in skin-care products
The desire for healthy-looking skin has existed throughout the centuries and has often led humanity to flowers and other plants in search of assistance.
