...ression. This dynamic signaling interaction fits a longstanding mathematical model known as an activator-inhibitor mechanism, says lead author Matthew P. Harris, Fallon's graduate student now doing a postdoctoral fellowship with Nobel Laureate Christiane Nusslein-Volhard at Max Plank Institute in Tubingen, German...

Beyond genes: Lipid helps cell wall protein fold into proper shape

...ally gives Dowhan a 10-year renewal to 2015 on his longstanding NIGMS grant "Structure and Function of Membrane Proteins" by providing back-to-back five-year grants of $2.4 million apiece. In April, Dowhan received the prestigious American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Avanti Award in Lipids. ...

'Jumping genes' contribute to the uniqueness of individual brains

...nisms that lead to this diversification has been a longstanding challenge. "People have speculated that there might be a mechanism to create diversity in brain like there is in the immune system, and the immune system's diversity is perhaps the closest analogy we have," says Gage. In the immune system, the genes...
