New book expands biological classifications to account for 'alien' life

... book, the University of Washington paleontologist puts forth an expanded "tree of life," or biological classification system, to account for a variety of life forms that would not fit in the current system. Among them are viruses, long considered to be non-living bits of protein and nucleic acid but whi...

Bronx Zoo bears are new Samsonite gorillas

...famous Samsonite luggage commercial when a gorilla puts the product's durability to the test, grizzly bears at the Bronx Zoo gave a bear-proof food canister designed for backpackers a real beating, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). But in spite of their best efforts, the bears could no...

Medical Center Tapped for its "Library" At the outset of the NSF project, researchers know the exact composition of the genes of S. cerevisiae...

NC State researchers redesign life for Mars and beyond

...onditions are encountered. This signal essentially puts the plant on alert, but staying on alert too long can be harmful: If not reduced quickly, the toxic superoxide will kill plant cells.Since the superoxide reductase gene is not found in plants, Boss, an expert in plant metabolism and plant responses t...

A new link between stem cells and tumors

...r reproduction, and this could lead to cancer. "It puts the focus on the events that create asymmetrical collections of molecules inside stem cells," Gonz�lez says. "This suggests new lines of investigation into the relationship between stem cells and tumors in other model organisms and humans." ...

Scientists pinpoint inflammation gene

.... The alternative, rarer variant weakens SEPS1 and puts it at a disadvantage in dealing with cellular stress." Blangero explained, "Basically, this rarer form of SEPS1 gives you a lazy cellular 'garbage truck' that doesn't properly do its job of clearing out the misfolded proteins that lead to inflammati...

Mouse study reveals human X-SCID gene therapy poses substantial cancer risk

...ing IL2RG in the manner it is currently being done puts patients at an increased risk of developing cancer." Woods adds that the study could explain why one of three children in the French trial developed T-cell leukemia. Two developed the disease because IL2RG inserted itself into the cellular genome n...

Hyena mothers give their cubs a helpful dose of hormones

Scientists have discovered that a dominant hyena puts her cubs on the road to success before they are born by passing on high levels of certain hormones that make her budding young leaders more aggressive and sexually advanced. The report, published in the April 27 issue of Nature, is the first study i...
