Lysosomal Activity Changes as Dendritic Cells Mature
Researchers have found that as dendritic cells mature, a physiologic change occurs in their lysosomes, digestive vacuoles within the cytoplasm that facilitate the efficient formation of peptide-MHC class II complexes on the surface of the cells. More...24 Mar 2003
Evolution Has Led to More Efficient Tumor Suppression
Researchers have found that the Arf gene, known to activate the tumor-suppressing p53 gene, also displays a cancer-suppressing effect of its own by inhibiting production of ribosomal RNA. Their findings were reported in the February 2003 issue of Molecular Cell. More...18 Mar 2003
Single Amino Acid Substitution Enlarges Heart
Researchers have found that a mutation in the gene that codes for phospholamban, a transmembrane phosphoprotein, causes dilated cardiomyopathy, a disorder that results in the heart becoming enlarged to the point where it can no longer pump blood efficiently. More...17 Mar 2003
