Key protein that may cause cancer cell death identified
Researchers at A*STAR's Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) have become the first to discover and characterize a human protein called Bax-beta (Baxβ), which can potentially cause the death of cancer cells and lead to new approaches in cancer treatment.   view more (2009-01-20)

Assembling the jigsaw puzzle of drug addiction
Using an integrative meta-analysis approach, researchers from the Center for Bioinformatics at Peking University in Beijing have assembled the most comprehensive gene atlas underlying drug addiction and identified five molecular pathways common to four different addictive drugs.   view more (2008-01-07)

Protein discovery could unlock the secret to better TB treatment
UCL scientists have found a protein that could unlock the secret to quicker, more effective treatment of TB by waking TB bacteria in the body. Once the TB bacteria are active again, the disease becomes treatable using common drugs like antibiotics. Scientists believe that uncovering the molecular structure of this protein will lead the way to... view more... (2005-02-28)

New study shows how genetic repair mechanism helps seal DNA breaks
As the genetic material, DNA is surprisingly reactive and under continuous assault from environmental toxins and reactive cellular metabolites, so a means of repairing DNA damage is essential to maintaining the integrity of our genetic blueprint for future generations.   view more (2006-10-23)

Molecular mechanism provides intra-cellular traffic signal
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have found that intra-cellular trafficking is tightly coordinated for maximum flow through cellular compartments - much as vehicles on a crowded road are allowed to pass quickly through a succession of green traffic lights.   view more (2006-10-18)
