Her uncanny surgical skills have added a piece to thelarge and intricate puzzle of how one cell divides into two -- aprocess fundamental to all organisms.In the Dec. 14, 2004, issue of Current Biology, Leocadia Paliulis andBruce Nicklas report their progress in understanding ho...

MSI releases 'moleculizer' - a new approach to simulation of intracellular biochemical networks

...lained Dr. Brent. "The mathematicaland algorithmic skills that Dr. Lok brought to the problem could onlycome from one with his strengths, but the work is important because itaddresses a problem arising directly from the biology."Dr. Daniel Gillespie, a pioneer in stochastic methods for modelingchemical kine...

First real-time view of developing neurons reveals surprises, say Stanford researchers

...s all the time," Niell said. When people learn new skills or add memories to their overstuffed brains, new connections are required to retain that information. Some diseases also seem to be caused by brain connections not forming normally. Dyslexia, for example, may be caused by connections failing to form...

In addition to curating the IMG system, DOE JGI will continue to deposit genome sequence information it generates into GenBank®, the reposi...

Stem cell treatment improves mobility after spinal cord injury

...rapeutic use of these cells can help restore motor skills lost from acute spinal cord tissue damage. Hans K...the rats with 10-month-old injuries, though, motor skills did not return. Although the oligodendrocyte cells survived in the chronic injury sites, they could ...

Program finds lost genes in nematode genome

...ichael Brent Brent has brought his bioinformatics skills to many genomes, including those of mammals, other nematode species and most recently the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. Brent's approach to gene prediction stands traditional genome annotation on its head because it starts with a computer analysis ...

Can our genes tell the story of our divergence?

...ext of kin learned to use tools, and developed the skills to construct tree-bound nests high above the forest floor. We differ by just a tad over 1% at the DNA sequence level, yet scientists predict that both species should harbor genetic footprints of our divergence ?the subject of a recent study in the pr...

Can't serve an ace? Could be muscle fatigue

Fatigue could reduce skills and cause injuries and muscle weakness during sport because the brain does not consider the extra effort required for movement, Monash University researchers have found. Professor Uwe Proske, from Monash's Department of Physiology, found when muscle...

Gap-climbing fruit flies reveal components of goal-driven behaviors

... must engage appropriate decision-making and motor skills to deal with them. Navigating these obstacles can involve highly complex events in mammals and other vertebrates, but in new work, researchers have employed an ingenious obstacle-based system for studying the control and structure of goal-oriented mo...
