PHACCS, an online tool for estimating the structure and diversity of uncultured viral communities using metagenomic information

...cellular aging when food is scarce, an effect that extends the single-celled organism's lifespan. "We now know that sirtuin1 is directly involved in the response to calorie restriction in mammals and in processes involved in cellular aging," says Puigserver. "But we still don't know whether sirtuin1's activ...

A New Species of Monkey is Discovered in Tanzania: The First in Africa for More Than 20 Years

...he genus Lophocebus from two to three species, it extends the geographic range of the genus 500 miles (800 km) to the south, thereby contributing much to our understanding of primate diversity, evolution, and biogeography.? As a result of their research in the Udzungwas over much of the last decade, Ehardt...

New tumor-suppressor gene discovered

...ch 2005 issue of the journal Cell. "This discovery extends our understanding of how tissue growth is controlled both during normal development and during the formation of tumors, and it raises the possibility that the function of this gene may have important implications for the understanding and treatment o...

Variation in women's X chromosomes may explain differences among individuals, between sexes

...chromosome in women remained active. The new work extends that earlier finding to the full set of X-linked genes and also further reveals that individual women exhibit extensive differences among them with respect to X inactivation, Willard said. In their study, the researchers isolated cell lines from eac...

Children's taste sensitivity and food choices influenced by taste gene

...ority," explains Reed. The research continues and extends Monell's long-term research program exploring development of taste and flavor preferences during childhood, a critical time for learning about food. Mennella comments, "Our previous studies focused on how early experience influences preferences for f...

Vital step in cellular migration described by UCSD medical researchers

...igration is the initiation of activity by Rac that extends protrusions out of the cell. These protrusions serve as tractor sites for migration as the cell moves toward its intended target. If Rac were active throughout the cell, it would extend protrusions in all directions, in essence keeping the cell in on...
