Mitochondrial Mutations: When the Cell's Two Genomes Collide
February 5, 2013 — Plant and animal cells contain two genomes: One in the nucleus and one in the mitochondria. When mutations occur in each, they can become incompatible, leading to disease. To increase understanding ... > full storyMore: -
Newly Discovered Plant Structure May Lead to Improved Biofuel Processing
February 5, 2013 — When a botanist approached his colleagues with some unusual data he had collected, they initially seemed convinced that his experiment had become contaminated; what he was seeing simply didn't make ... > full story -
New Molecular Inhibitors Hit Difficult Cancer Target
February 5, 2013 — Early laboratory tests are the first to successfully use an experimental molecular therapy to block a hard-to-target part of a protein complex linked to several types of invasive cancer. Scientists ... > full story -
RNA Promotes Metastasis in Lung Cancer
February 5, 2013 — MALAT1, an RNA molecule, is a marker for progression of lung cancer. Researchers have now found out that MALAT1 activates metastasis-promoting genes in cancer cells. In mice, blocking of MALAT1 ... > full story
