3. Researchers find pathway that controls cell size and division
   07-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered through genetic analyses a metabolic pathway in bacteria comprised of just three genes, all known to be players in metabolism. This pathway was previously shown to be involved in synthesizing modified membrane lipids but the Petra Levin lab's data indicates it also has a major role in cell division. This is the first identification of a pathway responsible for regulating bacterial cell size.

   10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Tamiflu (oseltamivir), is effective in reducing the risk of death associated with seasonal influenza in severely ill patients, according to new data. Treatment of infected adults was associated with a 71 percent reduction in mortality. These results demonstrate the importance of the role of antivirals in the management of seasonal influenza and highlights the seriousness and risk of mortality associated with it.

10. Zebrafish: It's not your parents' lab rat
    07-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Developmental biologists at Rice University have found that a gene called LMO4, which is known to play roles in both cell reproduction and in breast cancer, also plays a role in neurological development. By both knocking out and overexpressing the gene in zebrafish, the scientists determined that LMO4 independently regulates two other genes that are involved with the development of the forebrain and eyes. The results are slated to appear in the journal Developmental Biology.
