Researchers add new tool to tumor-treatment arsenal

...r function, automatically killing the cancer cells when agents like cisplatin are introduced. "These findings provide the rationale for combining DNA-damaging agents with sensitizing agents like RAD001," says Dr. Thomas. "Since about 50 percent of all solid tumors contain p53, such a drug combination cou...

Why do insects stop 'breathing'? To avoid damage from too much oxygen, say researchers

New SARS Protein Linked To Important Cell Doorway

...s make the protein, but we also got a big surprise when we looked at where the protein was," says Diamond. "Based on our analysis of the genome, we thought the orf7a protein would be on the surface of infected cells, decoying the immune system in some obvious way. But we found that most orf7a protein was ...

Nano-Probes Allow an Inside Look at Cell Nuclei

Because these fluorescent probes are stable and nontoxic, they have the ability to remain in a cell's nucleus -- without harming the cell or fading out -- much longer than conventional fluorescent labels. This could give biolo...

Instead, the more T cells that are produced in the blood as the parent cells containing sjTRECs divide and produce daughter cells, the more the sjTRECs in those original T cells get "diluted" within the growi...

In the last ice age, the ice streams near Siple Dome had to be roughly where they are now to keep the dome from building up more ice.
