Also working on the project are Sam Houk, an Ames Lab senior chemist who specializes in identifying trace elements using inductively couple plasma...

Learning how SARS spikes its quarry

... of a vaccine against SARS, since it appears to be recognized by the immune system of the host. In future studies, Harrison and his colleagues plan to explore the steps that occur after the spike protein attaches to the receptor. The researchers know that the spike protein undergoes a conformational change th...

New law for resolution allows unprecedented sharpness in fluorescence microscopy

...bject to diffraction. As early as 1873, Ernst Abbe recognized that this fact imposes an absolute limit on resolution in microscopy. Abbe, whose 100th year death anniversary was in February, captured this limit in a formula, which states that objects at distances that are smaller than a certain limit cannot be s...

Sugar helps control cell division

...proteins as the ubiquitous phosphate groups widely recognized as protein controllers, and it frequently seems to compete with phosphate groups for the same spots on proteins. Hart suggests that a particular balance between O-GlcNAc and phosphates on proteins may help fine-tune their activities. The researchers...

Naturally occurring asbestos linked to lung cancer

...orkplace, particularly in shipyards, has long been recognized as a risk factor for mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer affecting the lining of the lung. But in the new study, researchers found a consistent and dose-dependent association between mesothelioma and residential proximity to ultramafic rock, the pred...

VCU Massey Cancer Center study shows enzyme linked to spread of breast cancer cells

...gnaling program. Spiegel, who is internationally recognized for her pioneering work on new lipid mediators that regulate cell growth and cell death, and her colleagues, first discovered the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate in cell growth regulation nearly a decade ago. While researchers know that SphK1 is stim...

New Lab Research May Help Those Deafened By Immune System Attack

... cell antigen. This is a sign their immune systems recognized it as foreign. "In all, 28 of the 63 patients experienced improvement in their hearing after steroid treatment, and 35 did not. But the vast majority, 89 percent, of those who improved had a positive immunofluorescence test for an antibody to IESCA ...

Gene therapy advance treats hemophilia in mouse models

...t into the bloodstream. However, the investigators recognized the need to target the liver more effectively. "It has been difficult to conclusively identify the cells that normally make factor VIII," McCray said. "Hepatocytes may not be the main source of this protein, but they are relatively easy to target. S...

Insulin pulses keep the liver lean

Insulin, a hormone long recognized as a generator of fat, also keeps fat in the liver under control, according to a new study in the July issue of Cell Metabolism. The newly discovered role for insulin may explain how an organ frequently flooded with the fat-building hormone normally ...
