Structural biologists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have described the architecture of the complex of protein units that make up the coat surrounding the HIV genome and identified in it a "seam" of functional importance that previously went unrecognized. Those findings, reported today in Cell, could point the way to new treatments [...]

Scientists at a group of 11 research centers in China are reporting for the first time assembly of the largest-ever collection of data about the proteins produced by genes in a single human organ. Their focus was the liver, and their massive database in both protein and transcript levels could become a roadmap for finding [...]

In research that sheds light on the perils of yo-yo dieting and repeated bouts of sugar-bingeing, researchers from The Scripps Research Institute have shown in animal models that cycling between periods of eating sweet and regular-tasting food can activate the brain`s stress system and generate overeating, anxiety, and withdrawal-like symptoms.
"When many people diet, they try [...]

A new methodology developed by a researcher at the University of Granada in Spain will permit to determine the toxicological effects caused in animals which have been exposed to organochlorate pollutants and lead analysing their bones.
This work has studied the effects of lead toxicity in the long term in wild birds populations, determining how this [...]

Researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have shown in both fruit flies and humans that genes involved in embryonic heart development are also integral to adult heart function. The study, led by Rolf Bodmer, Ph.D., was published in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Bodmer`s lab has discovered that in the fruit [...]
