Researchers divide enzyme to conquer genetic puzzle
Rice University scientists find split, mutant protein serves as building block for synthetic biological circuits
18-03-2013
Rice University researchers have found a way to divide and modify enzymes to create what amounts to a genetic logic gate. Biochemist Matthew Bennett and graduate student David Shis created a library of AND gates by mutating a protein from a bacterial virus. The well-understood protein known ...
A non-invasive intracellular 'thermometer' with fluorescent proteins has been created
25-05-2012
A team from the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) has developed a technique to measure internal cell temperatures without altering their metabolism. This finding could be useful when distinguishing healthy cells from cancerous ones, as well as learning more about cellular ...
UC San Diego biologists discover genes that repair nerves after injury
23-09-2011
Biologists at the University of California, San Diego have identified more than 70 genes that play a role in regenerating nerves after injury, providing biomedical researchers with a valuable set of genetic leads for use in developing therapies to repair spinal cord injuries and other common ...
Scientists copy the ways viruses deliver genes
16-08-2011
Scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have mimicked the ways viruses infect human cells and deliver their genetic material. The research hopes to apply the approach to gene therapy – a therapeutic strategy to correct defective genes such as those that cause cancer. Gene therapy ...
Researchers could use plant's light switch to control cells
02-11-2010
Chandra Tucker shines a blue light on yeast and mammalian cells in her Duke University lab and the edges of them start to glow. The effect is the result of a light-activated switch from a plant that has been inserted into the cell. Researchers could use this novel "on-off switch" to control ...
Carnegie Mellon researchers turn up brightness on fluorescent probes
11-08-2010
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University's Molecular Biosensor and Imaging Center (MBIC) are turning up the brightness on a group of fluorescent probes called fluoromodules that are used to monitor biological activities of individual proteins in real-time. This latest advance enhances ...
Einstein researchers find molecular structure of key fluorescent proteins
26-04-2010
Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have determined the crystal structures of two key fluorescent proteins – one blue, one red – used to "light up" molecules in cells. That finding has allowed them to propose a chemical mechanism by which the red color in ...
Scientists Map Genetic Regulatory Elements for the Heart
Computational Model Can Be Used to Identify Regulatory Elements for Other Organs, Tissues
19-02-2010
Scientists have devised a new computational model that can be used to reveal genetic regulatory elements responsible for development of the human heart and maintenance of its function. Although the teams focused on the heart, the computational method they developed is broadly applicable to ...
Virus-free technique enables Stanford scientists to easily make stem cells pluripotent
09-02-2010
Tiny circles of DNA are the key to a new and easier way to transform stem cells from human fat into induced pluripotent stem cells for use in regenerative medicine, say scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Unlike other commonly used techniques, the method, which is based ...
New vaccine delivery system is more effective
27-01-2010
Traditional vaccines can be ineffective and expensive. Now, an interdisciplinary team of Cornell researchers has devised a new way to make vaccines that promises to prevent diseases much more cheaply. The new technique, described in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which ...
