Two-Pronged Immune Cell Approach Could Lead to a Universal Shot Against the Flu
March 14, 2013 — Influenza virus-specific CD8+ T cells or virus-specific non-neutralizing antibodies are each relatively ineffective at conferring protective immunity alone. But, when combined, the virus-specific CD8 ... > full story -
Key Step in Manufacture of Red Blood Cells Decoded: Subtle Regulatory Chords Direct the Birth of Blood Cells
March 14, 2013 — Researchers have identified a key step in the process by which red blood cells are born. The discovery could not only shed light on the causes of blood disorders such as anemia, it could also bring ... > full story -
Researchers Divide Enzyme to Conquer Genetic Puzzle
March 14, 2013 — Researchers have found a way to divide and modify enzymes to create what amounts to a genetic logic gate. Biochemists have now created a library of 'AND gates' by mutating a protein from a bacterial ... > full story -
New Cancer Diagnostic Technique Debuts
March 14, 2013 — Cancer cells break down sugars and produce the metabolic acid lactate at a much higher rate than normal cells. This phenomenon provides a telltale sign that cancer is present, via diagnostics such as ... > full story -
Knowing How Brown Fat Cells Develop May Help Fight Obesity
March 14, 2013 — Brown fat cells are the professional heat-producing cells of the body. Because of this they are protective against obesity as well as diabetes. A protein switch called early B cell factor-2 ... > full story -
Fluorescent Neural Cells from Monkey Skin Mature Into Several Types of Brain Cells in Monkeys
March 14, 2013 — For the first time, scientists have transplanted neural cells derived from a monkey's skin into its brain and watched the cells develop into several types of mature brain cells, according to a new ... > full story -
New Sensor Developed for Methylated DNA
March 14, 2013 — Researchers have developed a new, single molecule test for detecting methylated DNA. Methylation -- the addition of a methyl group of molecules to a DNA strand -- is one of the ways gene expression ... > full story -
Cord Blood Effective Alternative to Matched Donor Stem Cells for Kids With Rare Disorder
March 14, 2013 — Transplants of blood-forming stem cells from umbilical cord blood may be an effective alternative to transplants of matched donor bone marrow stem cells to treat children with a rare, debilitating ... > full story
