Actin-Binding Surface on Vinculin Mediates Mechanical Aspects of Cell Movement
A team of cell biologists has obtained data that shows how two proteins, vinculin and actin, function in concert to regulate cell morphology, motility, and mechanotransduction and play a critical role in metastasis. More...07 May 2014
Penny Contact Lenses Created from Clear Liquid
One droplet of clear liquid can bend light, acting as a lens. Now, by utilizing this well-known phenomenon, researchers have developed a new process to create inexpensive, high quality lenses that should cost less than USD 0.01 apiece. More...07 May 2014
Epigenomic Mapping Highlights Differences Between Ancient and Modern Humans
Molecular biologists employing advanced epigenetic techniques have identified genetic differences between Homo sapiens and extinct types of humans such as Neanderthals and Denisovans that are linked to modern diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, autism, and schizophrenia. More...05 May 2014
