RNA project to create language for scientists worldwide

...w RNA scientists worldwide to communicate with one another as well as to integrate different kinds of information they obtain about RNA molecules," explained Dr. Neocles Leontis, a Bowling Green State University chemistry professor chosen by the RNA Society to head the consortium. "This," he added, "will ma...

TEL2 gene cooperates with MYC gene to provoke B-cell lymphomas

...h works to slow cell growth and multiplication, is another member of the ETS family and is a known target of mutations in human leukemia. Grosveld's group previously identified TEL2 and noted its similarity to TEL1, which prompted them to investigate whether TEL2 also played a role in leukemia. In the MCB st...

Examination of internal 'wiring' of yeast, worm, and fly reveals conserved circuits

Falling ants glide back to trunk to avoid dangers of forest floor

...an execute a mid-air hairpin turn and glide in for another try. "It's an amazing discovery," said Robert Dudley, a UC Berkeley expert on flying and gliding creatures ranging from hummingbirds and lizards to moths and bees. "Apparently, it's fairly common among a lot of tropical canopy ants." Yanoviak, Dudl...

Scientists discover that host cell lipids facilitate bacterial movement

...pability is unique to Listeria and is not found in another intracellular bacteria, Shigella. Our experiments show that Listeria is a simplified model system for studying how phosphoinositides regulate the actin cytoskeleton, and this model promises to yield additional insights into how these phospholipids co...

Scientists solve structure of key protein in innate immune response

...ane of certain bacteria. Once CD14 binds to LPS or another ligand, it presents the molecule to other proteins which initiate a strong pro-inflammatory response that stimulates host defenses. "Macrophages and monocytes can recognize distinct structural patterns in various molecules from pathogenic microorgan...

World's largest rainforest drying experiment completes first phase

...st phase of the experiment, attention will turn to another future scenario for the world's tropical rainforests. Namely, how does the forest recover, or not, after prolonged drought? Although it is difficult to imagine a reversal of the current trend in rainforest drying, it is important to understand the fo...

Gene therapy for Parkinson's disease moves forward in animals

...ategy to halt Parkinson's disease at its onset and another strategy to treat the devastating side effects that occur when treating the disease in its later stages. By inserting corrective genes into the brain, scientists studying small monkeys called marmosets prevented brain damage by producing therapeutic...

VCU Researchers Identify Networks Of Genes Responding To Alcohol In The Brain

...on that allows nerve cells to send impulses to one another more effectively. Such pathways showed different responses to alcohol in one mouse strain versus the other. As a result, Miles and his colleagues were able to formulate new hypotheses about how the brains of the mouse strains responded differently to...

Rush Physicians Using Gene Therapy For Heart Patients With Moderate To Severe Chest Pains Who Do Not Benefit From Other Treatments

... respond well to either treatment, often requiring another angioplasty or bypass operation, noted Schaer. "If gene therapy proves to be safe and effective, it will represent an important new approach to improve the quality of life in these seriously ill patients with refractory chest pain," said Dr. R. Jeffr...

Opposing fat metabolism pathways triggered by a single gene

...ion of fat content, and it increases expression of another gene fat-7, which, by reducing acs-2, increases fat content. In its function, nhr-49 resembles a mammalian NHR, called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). Further investigation of this link may lead to better understanding of the fun...

Riskin explains, "The vampire bat is good on the ground because when you feed on the hoof of an animal that weighs 14,000 times more than you do, it's dangerous." Also, there are and always have been a variety o...
