Atherogenic Role Seen for C-Reactive Protein
Investigators have found that C-reactive protein (CRP) binds to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and that this interaction may lead to the chronic inflammation and buildup of fatty deposits that characterize atherosclerotic plaques. More...20 Sep 2002
Researchers Engineer Parts of Rabbit Penises
In an impressive example of tissue and organ engineering, researchers have been able to grow segments of rabbit penises in the laboratory, which were used to replace the segments in male rabbits, who then used them successfully to mate. More...18 Sep 2002
Dramatic Genetic Consequences of Single Amino Acid Change
Researchers have found that a mutation in mice resulting in the replacement of a single amino acid in the Rad50 protein was sufficient to cause birth defects and increased incidence of cancer due to accumulated errors in DNA metabolism. More...18 Sep 2002
