December 28, 2009 | Posted by admin Half a protein is better than none, and in this case, it’s way better than a whole one. A Rice University lab has discovered that dividing a particular fluorescent protein and using it as a tag is handy for analyzing the workings of live cells, particularly in the way they employ iron-sulfur clusters.

December 28, 2009 | Posted by admin Brazilian researchers have performed the first-ever autopsy study to examine the precise causes of death in victims of the H1N1 swine flu.
“The lack of information on the pathophysiology of this novel disease is a limitation that prevents better clinical management and hinders the development of a therapeutic strategy,” said lead author, Thais Mauad, M.D., Ph.D., [...]

December 13, 2009 | Posted by admin The work provides insight into potential therapeutic for cancer and eye diseases
LA JOLLA, CA—December 10, 2009—Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute have solved a 10-year-old mystery of how a single protein from an ancient family of enzymes can have two completely distinct roles in the body. In addition to providing guidance for understanding other molecules [...]

December 12, 2009 | Posted by admin COLLEGE STATION – A gene commonly studied by cancer researchers has been linked to the metabolic inflammation that leads to diabetes.
Understanding how the gene works means scientists may be closer to finding ways to prevent or cure diabetes, according to a study by Texas AgriLife Research appearing in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
