How plants fine tune their natural chemical defenses
(09 Sep 2008)
Even closely related plants produce their own natural chemical cocktails, each set uniquely adapted to the individual plant's specific habitat. Comparing anti-fungals produced by tobacco and henbane, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological ...

Finding a cellular Neverland: How stem cells stay childlike
(28 Jun 2006)
Despite their celebrated "immortality," the capacity of embryonic stem (ES) cells for endless division has its limits. After a very extended childhood spent dividing in a culture dish, even stem cells tend to grow up and assume adult roles as ...

3-D structure of Alzheimer's disease filament shows how it zips up peptides
(15 Nov 2005)
La Jolla, CA - Researchers have solved the three dimensional structure of the long thread-like fibers that fill the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. The structure reveals the proteins that make up the fibrils lock onto each other much like a ...
