Chemical switch triggers critical cell activities
01-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
The freeze-frame image of a molecular relay race, in which one enzyme passes off a protein like a baton to another enzyme, has solved a key mystery to how cells control some vital functions, according to investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. A report on this work appears in the January 14 advanced online publication issue of Nature.

Oncoproteins double-team and destroy vital tumor-suppressor
02-14-2008 · EurekAlert!
Two previously unconnected cancer-promoting proteins team up to ambush a critical tumor suppressor by evicting it from the cell's nucleus and then marking it for death by a protein-shredding mechanism, a team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reports in the Feb. 10 issue of Nature Cell Biology.

Penn Veterinary Medicine report new strategy to create genetically-modified animals
09-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Penn Vet have demonstrated a new strategy for genetic modification of large animals by employing a virus that transfers genetic modifications to male reproductive cells, which passes naturally to offspring. Scientists at the Center for Animal Transgenesis and Germ Cell Research at Penn introduced adeno-associated virus to germline stem cells in goats and mice. AAV stably transduced male germ line stem cells and led to transgene transmission through the male germ line.

Key to acute lung injury lies in Ang2 protein
11-10-2006 · EurekAlert!
Acute lung injury caused by cell death, high and potentially toxic concentrations of oxygen (hyperoxia), and the resulting excess fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema), may be controlled by modulating levels of the angiopoietin2 (Ang2) protein, researchers at Yale School of Medicine report in the November 5 online issue of Nature Medicine.
