Unique gene regulation gives chilly bugs survival advantage at bottom of the world

...d development," he said. This mechanism seems to offer the larvae protection during their two-year life span, most of which is spent encased in ice. All animals, including humans, make heat shock proteins, but normally they only do so during times of extreme physical stress. Curiously, adult midges don...

Living view in animals shows how cells decide to make proteins

... of each tissue or organ. The findings also may offer insight into a number of diseases, including cancer, in which the genetic process -- called alternative splicing -- goes awry and produces the wrong proteins, the scientists said. The scientists published the findings in the Dec. 1, 2006, issue of...

Nobel Laureate finds 'elegant' explanation for DNA transcribing enzyme's high fidelity

...mystery how that is accomplished.? These findings offer “an unexpected and elegant explanation that’s both beautiful and simple, as nature invariably proves to be.? The fundamental mechanism of transcription is conserved among cellular RNA polymerases, the researchers explained. Common features include a...

Math model predicts cancer behavior

Cities change the songs of birds

...d between city and forest birds. The findings also offer strong support for a theory known as the acoustic-adaptation hypothesis, which states that some aspects of the vocal variety of animal communication sounds are shaped by the environment. The authors point out that song divergence within a species as ...

Tiny Tampa Bay fish key to evolution of immune system

...ews prove to be basically correct, the study would offer the prospect of enhancing our understanding of the structural requirements for molecules used by the adaptive immune response to recognize and counter components of invading microbes. If so, it would provide an illustration of the potential for studi...

Intravenous gene therapy protects normal tissue of mice during whole-body radiation

The results might also contribute to new strategies for fighting the bug. "Yersinia injects several virulence factors into its host," sai...

End of deforestation in view? Experts advance new way to size up global forest resources

... of forest area and growing stock, the researchers offer a formula to calculate atmospheric carbon being stored incrementally in the trees of a given area, knowledge critical for mitigating climate change. Says Dr. Waggoner: "A rapid forest transition at a global scale would mean that atmospheric CO2...

Small, smaller, smallest -- The plight of the vaquita

There are no better examples anywhere in the world than eastern Pacific gray whales and northern elephant seals, both of...

An advanced genetic diagnostic method for multiple myeloma

... too distant future, these tests will permit us to offer each patient a treatment adapted to the genetic modifications that he or she presents, which, while they may not provide a cure for the disease, will make it possible to transform it into a chronic and asymptomatic pathology. ...

Evolution and the workaround

...ng how cells adapt to internal perturbations could offer insight into how pathogens and cancer cells mutate to evade the body’s defenses and resist treatment with drugs. The Stowers researchers used the benign budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as their model organism and deleted a key cell divisi...

Muscle and bone from an ink-jet printer
