Two Proteins Critical for Circadian Cycles Protect Cells from Mutations
Scientists have discovered that two proteins critical for maintaining healthy day-night cycles also have an unexpected role in DNA repair and protecting cells against genetic mutations that could lead to cancer and other diseases. More...17 Mar 2015
Silica-Based Nanoparticles Selectively Kill Lung Cancer Cells
A novel approach to the selective delivery of toxic chemotherapeutic agents is based on nanoparticles that sequester the drug until it is liberated by the action of specific proteases that are present in a high concentration inside lung cancer cells. More...16 Mar 2015
Experimental Brain Cancer Drug Disrupts Intracellular Endosome Activity
Cancer researchers have described the mechanism by which the low molecular weight compound 5-Benzylglycinyl-amiloride disrupts the internal regulation of brain cancer cells in a manner that triggers the pathway for programmed cell death. More...16 Mar 2015
Long Noncoding RNAs Maintain Antigenic Variation in the Malaria Parasite
Control of DNA expression by long noncoding RNAs has been found to underlie antigenic variation, the mechanism by which the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum maintains its virulence and evades human immune attack. More...11 Mar 2015
New Study Details the Block by Block Assembly of DNA Nanotubes
A team of biomolecular engineers has developed a method for the block by block assembly of DNA nanotubes that controls the positioning of rungs along the backbone of the nanotubes, minimizes the polydispersity in their manufacture, and reduces the building costs. More...10 Mar 2015
