Intracellular pH Determines How Cystic Fibrosis Protein Regulates Ion Transport
The protein cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator is responsible for maintaining the ion channels that move chloride ions and water into and out of cells, and mutations that prevent correct CFTR functioning can lead to the build up of the thick mucous that characterizes cystic fibrosis.

Gene Silencing Reduces Metastatic Potential of Melanoma Tumors
Cancer researchers used small hairpin RNA to silence the gene in melanoma cells that encodes the transcription factor E2F1 and found that this treatment reduced the potential for metastasis without modifying the tumor's ability to grow. More...05 Jan 2010
Sleep Deprivation Disrupts cAMP Signaling in the Brain's Hippocampus
The effects of sleep deprivation, which include forgetfulness, impaired mental performance, and a decline in the ability to learn, are modulated at the molecular level by changes in the metabolism of 3', 5'-cyclic AMP in the hippocampus region of the brain. More...31 Dec 2009
