Protein's role in regulating cell death sets direction for cancer research

...l cells in our body have the ability to trigger an intrinsic programmed cell death response. In the case of nerve cells that have been temporarily cut off from their oxygen supply because of a stroke, or damaged by amyloid deposits, this might seem like a bad thing that could contribute to neurodegenerative di...

Protein shown to rally biological clock

...d 10,000 on the other. Together these neurons are intrinsic clocks in communication with each other to keep 24-hour time. It had been thought that GABA was the prime candidate for the rallying role. All SCN neurons make this inhibitory neurotransmitter, and it had been shown that giving GABA daily at 8 a...

HIV gets a makeover

...es how he and his colleagues maneuvered around the intrinsic immunity of primate cells by replacing just a few parts of the human virus -- the ones responsible for blocking replication in monkey cells -- with components from SIV. "Overall, the virus is a mixture of engineering and forced evolution," Bieniasz s...

Small molecule dervived from Rb2/p130 could act as cancer therapeutic

...d," Giordano said. Giordano said because of the intrinsic nature of the compound, it can be easily reproduced as a biological drug in large quantities and does not require potentially dangerous means of delivery like viruses, as do most gene therapies; therefore Spa310 has a good chance to succeed as an ant...

Implanting dopamine generators in brain cells obtains improvement in Parkinson's in monkeys

...ed to the striate area will increase the number of intrinsic dopaminergic cells and these, in turn, on releasing dopamine, will result in an improvement in the condition of Parkinson's. ...

DOE JGI sets 'gold standard' for metagenomic data analysis

...to the same group of organisms. Other methods use intrinsic features of the sequence, such as oligonucleotide frequencies. Patterns of these features help to discriminate between the possible groups of organisms that contributed the sequence. Several more methods have been proposed for binning, but none o...

Legal ruling may put endangered species in danger

...difies an ethic which asserts that species possess intrinsic value. This recent ruling attempts to undo a moral commitment made by the American people in 1973." "Congressional intent about the Act is clear," said Vucetich, who recently co-authored a scholarly article with Nelson on the meaning of the words ...
