Defect in Ikaros gene mimics human B cell leukemia
They now present for the first time molecular details on the role of the Ikaros gene during early B cell development. A defect in Ikaros function causes an…
Rett syndrome genetic variants now available for advance testing, diagnosis & research
Despite the identification of gene mutations in methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) being linked to Rett syndrome (RS), research has been hindered by the lack…
Molecular Traffic Jam Makes Water Move Faster through Nanochannels
Cars inch forward slowly in traffic jams, but molecules, when jammed up, can move extremely fast.New research by Northwestern University researchers finds that…
Newly discovered signaling pathway could impact a variety of autoinflammatory diseases
Their findings offer insight into the role that activation of interferon-regulatory factor 1 (IRF1), a protein that functions as a transcriptional activator of…
Brain development – the pivotal role of the stem cell environment
Higher mammals, such as humans, have markedly larger brains than other mammals. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics…
Structure of the Cellular Recycling Bin
In a similar way, a cellular waste management system constantly picks up superfluous proteins and damaged organelles in human cells and delivers them to…
