Shedding light on protein folding
hen endothelial cells adhere to the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin, they can proliferate in response to growth factors. Adhesion to laminin, however, brings their cell cycles to a dead stop. Why? Given that the response depends on the composition of the extracellular matrix, Filippo Giancotti and his colleagues at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (New York, NY) proposed in 1...
متن کاملShedding new light on early caries detection.
Dental caries continues to be a common chronic disease among various population groups. Patient care can be improved with detection at the earliest stage. However, current techniques do not have sufficient sensitivity and specificity. We discuss 2 new methods - optical coherence tomography (OCT) and polarized Raman spectroscopy (PRS) - that are potentially useful for early caries detection and ...
متن کاملShedding new light on circadian clocks
Using a clever combination of genetic and biochemical tools researchers have shown that a transcription factor called USF1 has a central role in determining how mutations of the Clock gene manifest themselves in the behaviour of different mouse strains.
متن کاملShedding new light on opsin evolution.
Opsin proteins are essential molecules in mediating the ability of animals to detect and use light for diverse biological functions. Therefore, understanding the evolutionary history of opsins is key to understanding the evolution of light detection and photoreception in animals. As genomic data have appeared and rapidly expanded in quantity, it has become possible to analyse opsins that functi...
متن کاملAppetite regulation: Shedding new light on obesity
New information illuminating the potential causes of obesity has been appearing rapidly, beginning with the cloning, by Friedman’s group, of the mouse obese (ob) gene, as reported in December 1994 [1]. Many reports on related topics and other molecular biological approaches to obesity have followed, particularly in the last several months. These reports help to form a picture that places regula...
