A T-Cell Cytokine Channels Tuberculosis into the Latent Form of the Disease
Molecular biologists studying tuberculosis have identified a T-cell surface protein that channels infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis into the chronic, latent form of the disease rather than into the acute, active form. More...17 Jan 2013

Photoreceptor Cell Maintenance Depends on the TAM Ligands Protein S and Gas6
A paper described the role of the two TAM ligand proteins, Gas6 and Protein S, which are important players in immune regulation, cancer metastasis, and viral infection in maintaining the health of photoreceptor cells in the eye. More...16 Jan 2013
Small Peptide Cures Alzheimer's Disease in Mouse Model by Blocking Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 5 Activity
A potential new treatment for AD is based on a peptide derived from the activator of the protein cyclin-dependent kinase 5, a critical neuronal kinase that is hyperactivated in the brains of AD patients. More...15 Jan 2013
Metformin Lowers Glucose Levels by Blocking the Action of Liver Cell Glucagon
The diabetes drug metformin works by inhibiting formation of adenylate cyclase, which blocks liver cell glucagon-dependent glucose output, and not by reducing glucose synthesis by activating the enzyme AMPK as had been postulated previously. More...15 Jan 2013
