Structure-building cell signals also may influence learning and memory

...de the connection between EphB and the endocytosis involved in neurotransmitter regulation. "There's also an increased interest in endocytosis in cancer, in which the process may help diminish anti-proliferation signals and, as a result, trigger tumor progression," said Yamaguchi. "But this is a novel findin...

Researchers find gene that may be at root of potato blight

... blight. For decades, controlling this disease has involved regular applications of agrochemicals, Kamoun said. But some experts fear that the pathogen is making a comeback. "Given the recent widespread occurrence of new fungicide-resistant strains of this pathogen, it could be considered a reemerging threa...

Gov't Creates Gene Database of Normal Human Tissues

...d to normal brain tissue. "All of these genes are involved in one way or another with the kinds of activities associated with the development of cancer -- processes such as apoptosis, growth, proliferation and transcription," said Khan. These results provide scientists studying and treating NB with a focused...

NHGRI targets 12 more organisms for genome sequencing

The eight rat strains selected are the PVG strain, commonly used as a healthy control in studies; the F344 strain, used in toxicological and pharmacological studies; the SS strain, used for cardiovascular disease studies; the LEW s...

Bee mites suppress bee immunity, open door for viruses and bacteria

...ot lead to sudden hive collapse. Something else is involved that makes bee mites so harmful to bee colonies. The Penn State researchers report their findings in today's (May 17) online version of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. Yang and Cox-Foster looked at how bee mites affect the bee i...

The state-of-the-art technology involved will revolutionise the way scanning takes place and means that higher quality scans can be carried out at a much faster speed than ever before. The scanner will enable researchers to create images of structures in the body such as individual vessels ...

While on trail of dioxin, scientists pinpoint cancer target of green tea

...covered that a chaperone protein known as HSP90 is involved in conferring green tea's protective effects. Other researchers have shown that many cancer cells have an increase in the level of HSP90 compared to healthy cells, and that when HSP90 is blocked, levels of proteins that make cancer cells grow drop. ...

Scientists identify genes responsible for 'black rot' disease in vegetables

...nt list of 75 genes or non-coding regions that are involved in Xcc pathogenicity. Interestingly, the researchers identified three genes that were implicated in pathogenicity but that were not present in the previously described Xcc genomic sequence. To test the biological implications of this observation, th...

Thus, the multiplicity of infected species, their different susceptibilities to the virus and the great differences in their ways of life, are indicators of the complexity of Ebola virus's ci...

Pair of cancer genes found to drive both cell migration and division

...Sciences. "Now that we know that PTEN and PI3K are involved in both of these processes, it should stimulate new avenues of research in cancer." Medicines that target PI3K or PTEN and prevent cell migration could also potentially help with inflammatory disorders, such as arthritis, since inflammation is cause...
