Structure of Integral Membrane Proteins Readily Solved Using an Alternative In Meso In Situ Serial Crystallography Technique

A recent paper discussed the benefits of using synthetic cyclic olefin copolymer plates to replace glass as the base for generation and growth of crystals of membrane and soluble proteins for high-resolution X-ray crystallographic structure determination.   More...

A Drug That Prevents Lung Damage Protects Mice with Influenza Infection

A novel approach for treating infection by the influenza virus focuses on strengthening the small blood vessels in the lung of the victim so they do not leak fluids, which can lead to respiratory failure.  More...

Novel Phage Treatment Restores Bacterial Sensitivity to Antibiotics

A novel phage-based genetic strategy has been developed that aims to sensitize bacteria to antibiotics while selectively killing antibiotic-resistant strains.   More...

New Version of Old Drug Shows Promise for Treating Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis

A team of molecular microbiologists has determined the mechanism by which theStreptomyces-derived antibiotic griselimycin blocks the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for causing more than eight million cases of tuberculosis annually on a worldwide basis.  More...

Chronic Exposure to Bacterial Superantigens Induces Diabetes-Like Symptoms in Rabbit Model

Researchers working with a rabbit model have shown that chronic exposure to the toxin produced by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus can induce metabolic changes similar to those seen in type II diabetes.  More...

Image: Researchers using RApidCaP, a mouse model of human metastatic prostate cancer, have identified an immune system marker that may help to distinguish patients who will and will not respond to hormone therapy. That marker is IL-6, an immune system component whose presence is indicated in brown patches in the image at left, in a section of lung tissue (blue) colonized by prostate cancer cells. The middle image of the same section of lung tissue indicates activation of STAT3, a protein that is the downstream target of IL-6 signaling. The image at right of the same tissue section demonstrates the presence of PCNA in the invading prostate cells, a marker of metastasis (Photo courtesy of Trotman Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory).

Mouse Model Demonstrates Importance of Interleukin-6 to Spread of Prostate Cancer

Cancer researchers used a recently developed mouse model of metastatic prostate cancer to determine what factors are involved in the processes that trigger cell proliferation and drive progression of the disease.  More...
