Cell - EBs Recognize a Nucleotide-Dependent Structural Cap at Growing Microtubule Ends 22 Apr 2012 | 12:48 am
How plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) interact with the microtubule growing end and regulate microtubule dynamics is a fundamental question in cell biology. Current, the field is leaning toward the u...
Satellite evidence for a large source of formic acid from boreal and tropical forests 20 Apr 2012 | 03:31 pm
Formic acid is a important component of acid rain in remote areas. Direct emissions from human activities, biomass burning and plant leaves can not explain the high concentrations in the atmosphere. S...
Aggregation and Interaction of Cationic Nanoparticles on Bacterial Surfaces 20 Apr 2012 | 02:15 pm
Understanding how nanoparticles interact with the cell membranes of bacteria is crucial for developing new antibacterial agents. In this short paper, researchers found that gold nanoparticles cluster ...
Mechanism of Voltage Gating in Potassium Channels 20 Apr 2012 | 01:48 pm
Using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, the authors of this Science paper visualize how a voltage-gated potassium channel (KV) switches between activated and deactivated states. They further pr...
Are reconstructions of surface temperatures over the last 1000 years reliable? 20 Apr 2012 | 07:15 am
Curious about the facts of climate change? You got to know about some paleoclimatology, which is the study of climate and climate change over the scale of the entire history of earth. Since reliable t...
Focused ion beam micromachining of eukaryotic cells for cryoelectron tomography 20 Apr 2012 | 02:21 am
This paper introduces a novel technique for three dimensional visualization of subcellular structures and processes. This rechnique combines the advantages from both conventional electron microscopy a...
Eph-B4 prevents venous adaptive remodeling in the adult arterial environment 19 Apr 2012 | 04:02 pm
This is the first paper that elucidates an active role of Eph-B4, which has long been known as a quiescent venous marker in adult vasculature. This study utilizes a mouse model of vein graft implantat...
Cell - A PLETHORA-Auxin Transcription Module Controls Cell Division Plane Rotation through MAP65 and CLASP 19 Apr 2012 | 01:34 pm
This article presents a good example of delicate and complex regulatory networks that determine the direction of cell division in stem cells of plants. Although a large number of transcription factors...
screenings in haploid cell line from Brummelkamp TR 19 Apr 2012 | 09:35 am
A serial of papers from Brummelkamp and colleague on using the human haploid cell lines that they generated for cellular screenings. The biggest advantage of the system is that you can perform complet...
Development of Transgenic Fungi That Kill Human Malaria Parasites in Mosquitoes 19 Apr 2012 | 08:50 am
Fungal spores are genetically engineered to contain anti-malarial proteins. The SM1 protein blocks malarial attachment to mosquito salivary glands. The protein scorpine is an anti-microbial toxin. The...
