Dr. Michael Fainzilber and graduate students Eran Perlson and Shlomit Hanz of the Weizmann Institute's Biological Chemistry Department found that the Erk messengers, together with their phosphorus message, bind to a specia...

To Stop Evolution: New Way Of Fighting Antibiotic Resistance Demonstrated By Scripps Scientists

...When these genes are deleted from cells, the cells lose their ability to mutate, even when subjected to massive amounts of ultraviolet light. This brought Romesberg to the conclusion that mutation is a programmed stress response -- a survival mechanism. If the cell senses damage, and if the damage persis...
