Protein Central to Cancer Stem Cell Formation Provides New Potential Target
February 13, 2013 — Researchers have identified a pivotal protein in a cellular transformation that makes a cancer cell more resistant to treatment and more capable of growing and spreading, making it an inviting new ... > full story -
Long Noncoding RNAs Control Development of Fat Cells
February 13, 2013 — Researchers report that 10 long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a vital role in the regulation of white fat cells. When each of these lncRNAs is individually knocked down, fat precursor cells fail to ... > full story -

Advance Promises to Expand Biological Control of Crop Pests
February 13, 2013 — A new discovery promises to allow expanded use of a mainstay biological pest control method, which avoids the health, environmental and pest-resistance concerns of traditional insecticides, ... > full story -
Pathway That Stimulates Bone Growth Uncovered
February 13, 2013 — Researchers have discovered that a protein called Jagged-1 stimulates human stem cells to differentiate into bone-producing cells. This protein could help both human and animal patients heal from ... > full story -
Molecular Master Switch for Pancreatic Cancer Identified, Potential Predictor of Treatment Outcome
February 12, 2013 — A recently described master regulator protein may explain the development of aberrant cell growth in the pancreas spurred by inflammation. The team profiled gene expression of mouse pancreatic ductal ... > full story -
Discovering Cell Surface Proteins' Behavior
February 12, 2013 — Chemists are advancing scientific understanding of the structure and function of glycoproteins, in particular the number and positioning of sugars on them. Glycoproteins are membrane proteins and are ... > full story -
Cell Shape Changes During Mitosis
February 12, 2013 — Scientists have gained new insight into the process of mitosis in mammalian cells. Researchers have succeeded in deciphering a heretofore unknown mechanism that plays a key role in cell shape changes ... > full story -
Clinical Trial of Medication to Treat NF2 Tumors Starting Soon
February 12, 2013 — Researchers are recruiting patients for a Phase II clinical trial to test a medication that may slow the progression of Neurofibromatosis Type-2, commonly referred to as ... > full story -
Synthetic Circuit Allows Dialing Gene Expression Up or Down in Human Cells
February 12, 2013 — Scientists who built a synthetic gene circuit that allowed for the precise tuning of a gene's expression in yeast have now refined this new research tool to work in human cells, according to new ... > full story
