Finding a cellular Neverland: How stem cells stay childlike
(06/28/2006)
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
(11/15/2005)
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 ...
