Cell Circuits Remember Their History: Engineers Design New Synthetic Biology Circuits That Combine Memory and Logic
February 11, 2013 — Engineers have created genetic circuits in bacterial cells that not only perform logic functions, but also remember the results, which are encoded in the cell's DNA and passed on for dozens of ... > full story -
Can Simple Measures of Labile Soil Organic Matter Predict Corn Performance?
February 11, 2013 — Researchers are characterizing simple, cheap measurements of labile soil organic matter that could predict the performance of corn crops and help farmers optimize their cropping ... > full story -
Tumor Blood Vessels Prevent the Spread of Cancer Cells
February 11, 2013 — A lack of the protein endoglin in the blood vessels of tumor-bearing mice enables the spread of daughter tumours, according to researchers. Given that the tumor vasculature constitutes an important ... > full story -
Protein 'Filmed' While Unfolding at Atomic Resolution
February 11, 2013 — Whether Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or Huntington’s Chorea – all three diseases have one thing in common: They are caused by misfolded proteins that form insoluble clumps in the ... > full story -
Molecular 'Calcium Sponge' Created to Tackle Heart Failure
February 10, 2013 — Researchers have utilized molecular genetic engineering to optimize heart performance in models of diastolic heart failure by creating an optimized protein that can aid in high-speed relaxation ... > full story -
Evaluating Evolutionary Rates Could Shed Light Into Functions of Uncharacterized Genes
February 8, 2013 — Genes that have roles in the same biological pathways change their rate of evolution in parallel, a finding that could be used to discover their functions, said a researcher. Humans have nearly ... > full story -
Histone Modification Controls Development: Chemical Tags on Histones Regulate Gene Activity
February 8, 2013 — Every gene in the nucleus of an animal or plant cell is packaged into a beads-on-a-string like structure called nucleosomes: the DNA of the gene forms the string and a complex of proteins called ... > full story -
Protein Paves the Way for Correct Stem Cell Differentiation
February 7, 2013 — A single embryonic stem cell can develop into more than 200 specialized cell types that make up our body. This maturation process is called differentiation and is tightly regulated. New research has ... > full story -
For Drug Makers, New 3-D Control Opens Wealth of Options
