Method to Delay Aging of Stem Cells Developed
Stem cells are essential
building blocks for all
organisms, from plants to
humans. They can divide and
renew themselves throughout
life, differentiating into

RNA: From Messenger to Guardian of Genome Integrity
A new and unexpected role
for RNA is identified: the
defence of genome integrity
and stability. New research
shows that an until now
unknown class of RNA -- the

Totally RAD: Bioengineers Create Rewritable Digital Data Storage in DNA
Scientists have devised a
method for repeatedly
encoding, storing and
erasing digital data within
the DNA of living cells. In

Physical Properties Predict Stem Cell Outcome
Tissue engineers can use
mesenchymal stem cells
derived from fat to make
cartilage, bone, or more
fat. The best cells to use
are ones that are already

New Approach to 'Spell Checking' Gene Sequences
May 21, 2012 — Scientists have found a better way to 'spell check' gene ... > full story -
New Key Mechanism in Cell Division Discovered
May 18, 2012 — Researchers have identified the mechanism by which protein Zds1 regulates a key function in mitosis, the process that occurs immediately before cell division. The research opens the door to ... > full story -
A Cell's First Steps: Building a Model to Explain How Cells Grow
May 18, 2012 — Physicists and biologists are addressing an important fundamental question in basic cell biology: how do living cells figure out when and where to ... > full story -
New Technique Reveals Unseen Information in DNA Code
May 17, 2012 — Scientists have used a new technique to map 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) in DNA from human and mouse embryonic stem cells, revealing new information about their ... > full story -
Human Genes Transplanted Into Zebrafish: Helps Identify Genes Related to Autism, Schizophrenia and Obesity
May 16, 2012 — Researchers have transplanted a set of human genes into a zebrafish and then used it to identify genes responsible for head size at birth. This finding also is related to some cases of autism and ... > full story -
Microscope Looks Into Cells of Living Fish
May 16, 2012 — Microscopes provide valuable insights in the structure and dynamics of cells, in particular when the latter remain in their natural environment. However, this is very difficult especially for higher ... > full story -
Plant Growth Without Light Control
May 16, 2012 — Plants are dependent on the sun. Sunlight does not only supply them with energy, but also controls their development steps. So-called photoreceptors activate the processes of germination, leaf ... > full story -
Mice With Big Brains Provide Insight Into Brain Regeneration and Developmental Disorders
May 15, 2012 — Scientists have discovered that mice that lack a gene called Snf2l have brains that are 35 percent larger than normal. The research could lead to new approaches to stimulate brain regeneration and ... > full story -
First Gene Therapy Successful Against Aging-Associated Decline: Mouse Lifespan Extended Up to 24% With a Single Treatment
May 14, 2012 — A new study consisting of inducing cells to express telomerase, the enzyme which -- metaphorically -- slows down the biological clock -- was successful. The research provides a "proof-of-principle" ... > full story -
Foxtail Millet Offers Clues for Assembling the Switchgrass Genome
May 14, 2012 — Scientists are interested in the perennial grass switchgrass as a prospective biofuels feedstock, but the plant genome is complex. Researchers have sequenced plant genomes of related candidate ... > full story
