Association of herpesvirus with lung disorder questioned

...l group of Kaposi's sarcoma tissue samples. These data suggest that human herpesvirus 8 infection is not associated with Japanese cases of primary pulmonary hypertension, the investigators concluded. In contrast, the 2003 study identified evidence of HHV-8 in ten of 16 samples from U.S. patients with pri...

Molecular biology fills gaps in knowledge of bat evolution

A new mechanism of regulating RNA degradation

...1 and Upf1 were doing. Looking at gene expression data available through the lab of Luc DesGroseillers, Ph.D. at the University of Montreal, they found that Staufen1 protein binds to numerous RNAs. Downregulating the amount of Staufen or Upf1 increased the half-life of these RNAs. Significantly, altering...
