New Chemical Cocktail Enables Study of Totipotent Stem Cells

A team of developmental molecular biologists has formulated a chemical cocktail that enables the derivation of stem cells with unique functional and molecular features from mice and humans including the ability to maintain a state of totipotency that allows them to develop into extra-embryonic tissues such as placenta.

X-Ray Crystallography Findings Aid Discovery of New Drugs

Sensitive X-ray crystallography techniques were used to determine the three-dimensional (3D) molecular structure of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis enzyme RNA polymerase (Mtb RNAP) alone and when bound to the present first-line anti-tuberculosis drug rifampin. More...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Recovered from Urine

Urine from individuals with Down syndrome has been utilized as a source of cells, which researchers first transformed into stem cells and then induced to mature into neurons and heart cells. More...

Cancer Growth Influenced by Myosin and FAK Protein Interaction

A team of cancer researchers has found that the interaction between the myosin and FAK (Focal adhesion kinase) proteins is critical to the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread to sites distant from that of the primary tumor. More...

Cholesterol-Lowering Small RNA Drug Shows Promise in Early Trial

Results of a phase II, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending-dose clinical trial confirmed that the experimental small interfering RNA (siRNA) drug inclisiran was effective for treating patients with elevated LDL cholesterol levels who were at high risk for developing cardiovascular disease. More...

Image: This image shows how the CRISPR surveillance complex is disabled by two copies of anti-CRISPR protein AcrF1 (red) and one AcrF2 (light green). These anti-CRISPRs block access to the CRISPR RNA (green tube) preventing the surveillance complex from scanning and targeting invading viral DNA for destruction (Photo courtesy of The Scripps Research Institute).

Interaction between Proteins Revealed by Cryo-EM Mapping

Cryo-electron microscopy (Cryro-EM) molecular mapping was used to determine how the bacterial gene editing complex CRISPR/Cas9 interacts with viral anti-CRISPR proteins. More...
