Same Protein That Fires Up Cancer-Promoting Erk Also Blocks Its Activation
April 19, 2013 — A protein which is intimately involved in cancer-promoting cell signaling also keeps a key component of the signaling pathway tied down and inactive, scientists report. Union with Shc keeps a ... > full story -
New Potential Target for Cancer Therapy Identified
April 19, 2013 — Researchers have found that alternative splicing -- a process that allows a single gene to code for multiple proteins -- appears to be a new potential target for anti-telomerase cancer ... > full story -
From Blank Round to a Potently Active Substance?
April 19, 2013 — A long-forgotten candidate for antiviral therapy is undergoing a renaissance: Since the 1970s, the small molecule CMA has been considered a potent agent against viral infections, yet it was never ... > full story -
Random Walks on DNA: Bacterial Enzyme Has Evolved an Energy-Efficient Method to Move Long Distances Along DNA
April 19, 2013 — Scientists have revealed how a bacterial enzyme has evolved an energy-efficient method to move long distances along DNA. The findings present further insight into the coupling of chemical and ... > full story -
Surprising New Function for Small RNAs in Evolution
April 19, 2013 — Scientists have discovered a completely new mechanism by which evolution can change the appearance of an organism. The researchers found that the number of hairs on flies’ legs varies according ... > full story -
Nanoparticles Found in Everyday Items Can Inhibit Fat Storage: Gold Nanoparticles Accelerate Aging

Ethnicity May Influence Antibody Genes: Immunity-Related DNA Sections Could Vary Depending on Ethnicity
April 18, 2013 — Cracking the DNA code for a complex region of the human genome has helped scientists chart new territory in immunity research. They have discovered that a good number of our antibody genes and, ... > full story -
Three Mutations at BRCA1 Gene Responsible for Breast and Ovarian Hereditary Cancer Identified
April 18, 2013 — Researchers conducted a functional and structural study of seven missense variants of the BRCA1 gene concluding that three of these variants are pathogenic, linked to the risk of suffering breast or ... > full story -
First Steps of Synapse Building Is Captured in Live Zebra Fish Embryos
April 18, 2013 — Using spinning disk microscopy on barely day-old zebra fish embryos, scientists have gained a new window on how synapse-building components move to worksites in the central nervous ... > full story -
Evolving Genes Lead to Evolving Genes: Selection in European Populations of Genes Regulated by FOXP2
April 18, 2013 — Researchers have designed a method that can universally test for evolutionary adaption, or positive (Darwinian) selection, in any chosen set of genes, using re-sequencing data such as that generated ... > full story
