How the elevated ISG15 pathway contributes to tumorigenic phenotypes remains unclear and is the subject of a study published in the January 2012 issue of…
Important new information on one of the most critical protein machines in living cells has been reported by a team of researchers with the U.S. Department of…
The new findings, reported in the journal Structure, build on more than a dozen previous studies that aim to track the molecular evolution of life by looking…
A wonderful breakthrough for scientists from the universities of Würzburg and Stony Brook (USA): they have shed light on the binding and action mechanisms of…
For the first time, researchers have analyzed the multitude of microorganisms residing in the human gut as a complex, integrated biological system, rather than…
The available amount of fossil fuels is limited and their combustion in vehicle motors increases atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The generation of fuels…
“Normal sperm cells contain an arc-like structure called the acrosome that is critical in fertilization because it houses, organizes, and concentrates a…
During the study at Queen’s University, the researchers changed the vowel sounds that the participants heard over headphones as they talked. They found that…

Most proteins have multiple moving parts that rearrange into different conformations to execute particular functions. Such changes may be induced by molecules…
The mammalian gut is home to hundreds of bacterial species that contribute to food digestion and, in some cases, inflammatory gut diseases. Probiotics,…
In mouse, odor is sensed by the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) by about 1100 types of olfactory receptors that are expressed by olfactory sensory neurons….
A molecular mechanism that links diet, obesity and diabetes involves depletion of specialized ‘transporter proteins’, a Japanese–American team has found1….
Much of the work was done at the Jan and Dan L. Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital. MeCP2 is a “Goldilocks” in the protein…
