Since September 2003, she has collected samples at 2-week intervals, often taking a snowmobile driven by her father out to holes in the ice and occasionally in temperatures as low as ?5 degrees Celsius (-6...

Structure-building cell signals also may influence learning and memory

...osis important as it is the process by which cells take up materials such as neurotransmitters, fat molecules, and foreign bodies like viruses and toxins, from the external environment thus enabling the cell to store, transport or eliminate these materials. Synaptojanin-1 enables endocytosis when it disa...

Future diabetes drugs may target new protein interaction

...lular aging (a cell-by-cell issue) in mammals will take much more work. Sirtuin1's potential as a target for treating diabetes is much closer, says Puigserver. The researchers are now probing the pyruvate-sirtuin1 connection more closely and looking for more details of the sirtuin1-PGC1 interaction. Also...

Researchers find gene that may be at root of potato blight

...earch and Development Center in Wooster . "If you take a gun through the metal detector at an airport, the alarms go off," he said. "This gene (Avr3a) sends a signal alerting the plant that it is infected by the pathogen." Phytophthora infestans is the pathogen that causes late blight. For decades, cont...

How A Latent Virus Eludes Immune Defenses

...s arise from the persistent latent infections that take hold after initial infections are controlled by immune defenses. The episome maintenance protein produced by EBV, called EBNA-1, harbors an amino acid element in its epitope—the region that binds to a T cell and triggers an immune response—that helps...

"It should be exciting to see whether gene transfer has been so widespread in other groups of bacteria, too." ### Emmanuelle...

Next Generation Body Scanner Launched By The University Of Manchester

Algal blooms can use up the oxygen in water and block out the sunlight that other organisms need to live. "If there is not sufficient light, the spread of the phage might be decreased, which could undermi...
