Protein; For the first time, Bernese researchers have been able to solve the structure of a transport protein; and thus to describe the functional mechanism that plays a significant role in the survival of cancer cells. This is an important step towards developing effective inhibitors to fight tumor growth. Certain cancer cells depend on exporting the…
Ponderosa longevity might hinge on the shape of microscopic valve like structures between the cells that transport water through the tree; The researchers sampled growth rates of ponderosa pine trees of varying ages at two remote sites. Research studying the structural traits of the trees xylem vascular tissue; that transports water and minerals through the…
Inhaling Air pollution significantly increases the risk for premature deaths, particularly in people with underlying cardiovascular disease, clinical and epidemiological studies have determined. In healthy people, inhaling ozone or particle pollution triggers a defensive lung-heart reflex that automatically slows heart rate to accommodate oxygen deficiency and help slow distribution of pollutants throughout the body.

Lyme Disease; Virginia Tech biochemist Brandon Jutras has discovered the cellular component that contributes to Lyme arthritis; a debilitating and extremely painful condition that is the most common late stage symptom of Lyme disease. But Jutras found that as the Lyme-causing bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi multiplies; it sheds a cellular component called peptidoglycan that elicits a…

An innovative tool device by researchers from the University of Sheffield will give; patients personalize information…
Bone tissue has certain self healing abilities after an injury; providing that the impairment is mild and the defect size is small; Local administration of platelet deriving growth factor BB (PGDF-BB) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) in a sequential release manner could substantially promote bone healing. But clinical approaches to repairing large bone defects often…
