First steps to EMBO research awards agreed by the EMBC
At the summer meeting of the European Molecular Biology Conference (the EMBC), it was decided to initiate the process of launching an EMBO Research Award Programme. This would be a major expansion of the EMBO activities that are predominantly funded by the EMBC. As such, it requires the establishment of a special project, a process that was used... view more...

Using the genomic shortcut to predict bacterial behavior
How do you study a pathogen that can't survive outside its host's cells? In a new study published in the open access journal PLoS Biology, Hiroyuki Ogata and colleagues show that sequencing and analyzing the genome of the bacteria Rickettsia felis provide valuable insights into the biology and behavior of this intracellular pathogen. view more (2005-07-05)
Pick your COX partners
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Queen's University, Ontario, Canada report in the online edition of Nature Medicine this week that the COX enzymes — well-known for their contrasting role in cardiovascular biology — interact physically to form a previously unrecognized biochemical partnership and... view more...

Possible cause and potential treatment found for aggressive head and neck cancer
Researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center report that they have found a potential molecular cause for the aggressive growth and spread of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, a highly malignant form of cancer with a very high death rate. view more (2006-04-24)
Fernström Prizes To Swedish Researchers In Medicine
On November 3 the Erik K. Fernström Foundation will confer prizes on seven researchers in medical science. The Fernström Foundation is one of the largest foundations of its kind in Sweden. The Nordic Prize, worth the sum of SEK 1 million, is awarded this year to Professor Lennart Philipson. He has done important work in cell and... view more... (2003-10-31)
DNA 'tattoos' link adult, daughter stem cells in planarians
Unlike some parents, adult stem cells don't seem to mind when their daughters get a tattoo. In fact, they're willing to pass them along. view more (2008-09-11)
Social habits of cells may hold key to fighting diseases
Scientists in Manchester are working to change the social habits of living cells - an innovation that could bring about cleaner and greener fuel and help fight diseases such as cancer and diabetes. view more (2007-08-27)
MBL leads effort to update E. coli genome
E.coli is one of the most important model organisms for molecular science today and is arguably the single organism about which the most is known. view more (2006-01-10)
Darwin's greatest challenge tackled: the mystery of eye evolution
When Darwin's skeptics attack his theory of evolution, they often focus on the eye. Darwin himself confessed that it was "absurd" to propose that the human eye evolved through spontaneous mutation and natural selection. Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) have now tackled Darwin's major challenge in an... view more... (2004-10-26)
Fitting in: Newly evolved genes adopt a variety of strategies to remain in the gene pool
When Mother Nature creates an identical copy of a gene in an organism's genome, the duplicated copy is usually deleted, inactivated, or otherwise rendered nonfunctional in order to prevent genetic redundancy and to preserve biological homeostasis. view more (2005-10-03)
New small RNAs found
Dr. Kathleen Collins and a graduate researcher in her lab at UC Berkeley have identified a second RNAi pathway in Tetrahymena thermophilia - introducing a heretofore unprecedented layer of complexity to small RNA biology in unicellular organisms. view more (2005-12-16)
Success comes at a cost, even for phages
As many a mother may tell you, expending the energy necessary to raise a clutch of kids can shave years off one's life. Trade-offs between reproductive success and survival have been demonstrated for a wide variety of organisms, in keeping with life history theory. view more (2006-06-13)
Biologists probe the machinery of cellular protein factories
Proteins of all sizes and shapes do most of the work in living cells, and the DNA sequences in genes spell out the instructions for making those proteins. view more (2006-09-14)
Gene Test Could Reduce Unnecessary Treatment For Women With Breast Cancer (pp 340, 362)
In this week's issue of THE LANCET, US researchers describe how gene expression profiles could determine whether or not women with breast cancer would respond to docetaxel treatment. Women who are likely to be resistant to the drug could be given alternative treatment. Chemotherapy or hormonal treatment after surgery for breast cancer is crucial... view more... (2003-07-30)
Study shows more genes are controlled by biological clocks
The tick-tock of your biological clock may have just gotten a little louder. Researchers at the University of Georgia report that the number of genes under control of in living things than suspected only a few years ago. view more (2008-08-29)

Finding about cellular microtubule rigidity could lead to development of new nano-materials
Microtubules, essential structural elements in living cells, grow stiffer as they grow longer, an unexpected property that could lead to advances in nano-materials development, an international team of biophysicists has found. view more (2006-07-12)
Researchers determine why wolves not dispersing as fast as expected in Yellowstone
In 1995, 14 wolves were transferred to Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. from the Canadian Rocky Mountains, with 17 more joining them the following year. view more (2006-11-02)
Hat Trick for University of Leicester Plant Biologist
A University of Leicester scientist has recently received the EMBO (European Molecular Biology Organisation) Young Investigator Award, the first UK plant biologist to be awarded this prestigious international prize. view more (2004-10-29)
Probability Controls The Molecule Of Life
Thanks to biophysicists, statistics has reached the most intimate aspect of life - regulation of genes' activity. Investigation on probabilistic aspects of molecular biology has been supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the INTAS Foundation. Regulation of genes' activity is one of the most important biological problems which... view more... (2004-05-24)
