Scientists observed stress-driven reordering of a distorted protein crystal without thermal activation at low temperatures. The reordering was driven by mass transport caused by radiation damage, resulting in the formation of order in the system.
Dr. Lee Hartwell, president of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, will join four biotechnology leaders in discussing the future of biotechnology. They will address topics such as new methods for diagnosing diseases like lupus and leukemia, and the potential impact on drug development.
The American Society of Transplantation will present over 1,000 presentations on various transplantation topics, including new findings on liver splitting for child recipients and embryonic stem cell transplantation. The conference also explores advancements in treating post-transplant patients without steroids and lung transplantation...
A new study reveals that global surface temperatures have increased by 14.6 degrees Celsius, with the warmest years on record occurring in the 1990s. Most of the warming has occurred over the northern continents during specific seasons.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have created the largest protein from scratch, inspired by a household bacteria. The protein, called alpha-3D, has a well-defined three-dimensional structure and could lead to novel drugs and diagnostic tools.
Researchers have found a link between beta-catenin and cyclin D1 in colon cancer cells, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation. This discovery may lead to new therapies for colon cancer and potentially other types of cancer.
