From a lowly yeast, researchers divine a clue to human disease
Working with a common form of brewer's yeast, University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have uncovered novel functions of a key protein that allow it to act as a master regulatory switch - a control that determines gene activity and that, when malfunctioning in humans, may contribute to serious neurological disorders. view more (2006-12-08)
Cellular dumping site is not garbage after all
Cells can reuse the chemical messengers that carry genetic information to the machinery that makes proteins. Sometimes cells shuttle the messengers to storage and later reactivate them to make proteins, according to new research. view more (2005-09-23)
£2 Million of Yeast Could Triple Available Drug Treatments
Researchers are to employ the humble yeast cell to greatly increase – perhaps even triple - the number of drug treatments for common diseases such as allergies, asthma, obesity, type 2 diabetes, schizophrenia, heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer. view more (2003-02-05)
Fish oil and red yeast rice studied for lowering blood cholesterol
A great deal of scientific evidence shows that cholesterol-reducing medications known as statins can help prevent coronary artery disease. view more (2008-07-09)
Unlocking The Secrets Of Evolution
Exactly fifty years ago, Watson and Crick revealed the structure of DNA, unleashing a scientific revolution. On the anniversary of that momentous discovery, the world's leading science journal, Nature, will publish new and groundbreaking genetic research by Bangor University scientist, Dr. Isabelle Colson. Isabelle is an expert in evolutionary... view more... (2003-03-06)
Calculating gene and protein connections in a Parkinson's disease model
Researchers have created an algorithm that meshes existing data to produce a clearer step-by-step flow chart of how cells respond to stimuli. Using this new method, Whitehead Institute and Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists have analyzed alpha-synuclein toxicity to identify genes and pathways that can affect cell survival. Misfolded... view more... (2009-02-23)
Pol3 mutation disrupts organ growth
The cellular mechanism that turns DNA into all of the thousands of proteins that make up a human body is itself both intricate and interesting. view more (2007-11-27)
10-fold life span extension reported in simple organism
Biologists have created baker's yeast capable of living to 800 in yeast years without apparent side effects. view more (2008-01-15)
Scripps research team unravels new cellular repair mechanism
The cell cycle, which allows cells to replicate their DNA and produce new cells, is controlled by a complex concert of enzymes and other components. In addition there are "checkpoint" mechanisms that can block continuation of the process if something goes amiss. view more (2008-08-07)
Relationship between environmental stress and cancer elucidated
One way environmental stress causes cancer is by reducing the activity level of an enzyme that causes cell death, researchers say. view more (2007-11-06)
Early-stage gene transcription creates access to DNA
A gene contained in laboratory yeast has helped an international team of researchers uncover new findings about the process by which protein molecules bind to control sequences in genes in order to initiate gene expression, according to findings reported in the journal Nature. view more (2008-10-07)
New pathway provides more clues about BRCA1 role in breast cancer
A breast cancer gene's newly discovered role in repairing damaged DNA may help explain why women who inherit a mutated copy of the gene are at increased risk for developing both breast and ovarian cancer. view more (2008-01-16)
Gene sequencing advance will aid in biomass-to-biofuels conversion
A collaborative research project between the U.S. Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) and the Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute has advanced the quest for efficient conversion of plant biomass to fuels and chemicals. view more (2007-03-07)
A Yeast Useful For Pollutant Removal Processes
Sugar refineries and distilleries produce effluent which is harmful for the environment. The sugar industry produces two tonnes of sugar cane bagasse (a straw-like material) for every tonne of refined sugar. For Cuba this translates into 10 to 20 million tonnes of bagasse per year. Distilleries, often associated with sugar cane production, emit... view more... (2002-06-27)
A gene divided reveals the details of natural selection
In a molecular tour de force, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have provided an exquisitely detailed picture of natural selection as it occurs at the genetic level. view more (2007-10-11)
Location, location, location: Transcriptional activity and nuclear position
Dr. Mark Groudine (FHCRC) and colleagues report on their surprising characterization of changes in intranuclear organization during murine erythropoiesis. view more (2006-05-18)
Food additive inhibits longevity enzyme in yeast, increases cell toxicity, new study finds
A common additive found in food and cosmetics has been found to inhibit the activity of sirtuins, enzymes associated with lifespan control in yeast and other organisms, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. view more (2005-12-16)
Breast cancer drug shows promise against serious infections
An FDA-approved drug used for preventing recurrence of breast cancer shows promise in fighting life-threatening fungal infections common in immune-compromised patients, such as infants born prematurely and patients with cancer. view more (2009-07-21)
Landmark study sheds new light on human chromosomal birth defects
Using yeast genetics and a novel scheme to selectively remove a single protein from the cell division process called meiosis, a cell biologist at The Florida State University found that when a key molecular player known as Pds5 goes missing, chromosomes fail to segregate and pair up properly, and birth defects such as Down syndrome can result. view more (2009-09-17)
Using high-precision laser tweezers to juggle cells
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have developed a new method to study single cells while exposing them to controlled environmental changes. view more (2009-05-18)
