Cell Biology: Active Transporters Are Universally Leaky
May 2, 2013 Biochemists found that as active transporters in cell membranes undergo conformational changes to allow their main substrates to pass through through, small molecules like water slip through as ... > full story -
Scientists Revolutionize Creation of Genetically Altered Mice to Model Human Disease
May 2, 2013 Scientists have efficiently created mouse models with multiple gene mutations in a matter of weeks. Because the method does not require embryonic stem cells, the approach also could allow any animal ... > full story -
3-D Simulation Shows How Form of Complex Organs Evolves by Natural Selection
May 2, 2013 Researchers have developed the first three-dimensional simulation of the evolution of morphology by integrating the mechanisms of genetic regulation that take place during embryo development. The ... > full story -
Use of Laser Light Yields Versatile Manipulation of a Quantum Bit
May 1, 2013 By using light, researchers have manipulated the quantum state of a single atomic-sized defect in diamond -- the nitrogen-vacancy center -- in a method that not only allows for more unified control ... > full story -
Computer Algorithms Help Find Cancer Connections
