Stem Cell Fate Depends on 'Grip'
March 28, 2013 — Scientists have generated new insight on how a stem cell's environment influences what type of cell a stem cell will become. They have shown that whether human mesenchymal stem cells turn into fat or ... > full story -
Biological Transistor Enables Computing Within Living Cells
March 28, 2013 — Bioengineers have taken computing beyond mechanics and electronics into the living realm of biology. Scientists have used a biological transistor made from genetic material -- DNA and RNA -- in place ... > full story -
Protective Prion Keeps Yeast Cells from Going It Alone
March 28, 2013 — A team of scientists has added markedly to the job description of prions as agents of change, identifying a prion capable of triggering a transition in yeast from its conventional single-celled form ... > full story -
Mixed Signals: Combinations of Estrogen-Mimicking Chemicals Strongly Distort Hormone Action
March 28, 2013 — What happens when -- as in the real world -- an individual is exposed to multiple estrogen-mimicking chemicals at the same time? Researchers have used new techniques to study exposure to low doses of ... > full story -
Parkinson's Disease Protein Gums Up Garbage Disposal System in Cells
March 28, 2013 — With a new neuron model system of Parkinson's disease pathologies, researchers have demonstrated that these aberrant clumps in cells resist degradation as well as impair the function of the ... > full story -
Brain's 'Molecular Memory Switch' Identified
March 28, 2013 — Scientists have identified a key molecule responsible for triggering the chemical processes in our brain linked to our formation of memories. The findings reveal a new target for therapeutic ... > full story -
You Are What You Eat -- Even the Littlest Bites: Dietary Influences Tied to Changes in Gene Expression
March 28, 2013 — Sometimes you just can't resist a tiny piece of chocolate cake. Even the most health-conscious eaters find themselves indulging in junk foods from time to time. New research raises the striking ... > full story -
Opposites Attract: How Cells and Cell Fragments Move in Electric Fields
March 28, 2013 — Like tiny crawling compass needles, whole living cells and cell fragments orient and move in response to electric fields -- but in opposite directions, scientists have found. Their results could ... > full story -
How Herpesvirus Invades Nervous System
March 28, 2013 — Scientists have identified a component of the herpesvirus that "hijacks" machinery inside human cells, allowing the virus to rapidly and successfully invade the nervous system upon initial ... > full story -
Childhood Asthma Tied to Combination of Genes and Wheezing Illness
March 27, 2013 — About 90 percent of children with two copies of a common genetic variation and who wheezed when they caught a cold early in life developed asthma by age 6, according to a new study. They were nearly ... > full story
