Once given 'no respect,' cells' tiny RNAS take driver's seat

...RNA, has long been thought to be important only to translate a gene's DNA into the proteins that are cells' workhorses. But new evidence shows that tiny bits of RNA not used to make proteins actually play central roles in normal biology and in the development of cancers. "Scientists have known for a few years...

Computers close in on protein structure prediction

...dimensional structure, but no one has been able to translate the sequence into an accurate structure," said senior author David Baker, an HHMI researcher at the University of Washington. "The reason this research is exciting is that we're showing progress in predicting the structure from the sequence. It's not...

Neurotransmitters signal aggressive cancer, offer potential for early diagnosis

Scientists and engineers apply nature's design to human problems

...ng and transporting energy, and then see if we can translate those processes for human applications," Yen said. "Georgia Tech is a great place to do this kind of research. It provides engineers who want to apply their expertise with biologists a new way to design solutions to problems." After this experience,...

Scientists crack 40-year-old DNA puzzle and point to 'hot soup' at the origin of life

Tropical dry forests receive international recognition

...istine land. TROPI-DRY's goal is to try to help translate research into tools countries can use as policies to save the dry forests. The solution lies in private conservation, says Sanchez-Azofeifa. This tactic means convincing governments to realize the value of conserving tropical dry forest land and in t...

University of Delaware researchers develop cancer 'nanobomb'

...rea. There is plenty of work ahead to successfully translate this into clinical medicine." In addition to treatment, he believes nanotechnology can provide new tools for cancer diagnosis through the use of tiny nanosensors. "In the future, my vision is that people will have at-home kits that can detect canc...

Anti-cancer drugs may hold promise for premature aging disorder

...l validate the results of the cell experiments and translate into improvements in the animals' conditions, a clinical trial of FTIs in children with progeria may begin as early as next spring, researchers said. Dr. Collins and his colleagues discovered in April 2003 that mutations in the lamin A (LMNA) gene ...

Researchers show key protein necessary for normal development of red blood cells

...mRNA is a key player in gene expression that helps translate the DNA's genetic code. Lloyd and her colleagues identified that the role of KLF2 for the embryonic epsilon-globin genes is analogous to that of a protein called EKLF. EKLF plays a central role in the developmental regulation of the adult beta-globi...

3D ultrasound device poised to advance minimally invasive surgery
