| New technology eliminates plant toxins Posted: 05 Aug 2012 11:48 AM PDT Researchers have developed a method to hinder unwanted toxins from entering the edible parts of plants such as the oilseed rape, which will make it suitable for animal feed. |
| Sequencing of malaria genomes reveals challenges, opportunities in battle against parasite Posted: 05 Aug 2012 11:48 AM PDT Genetic variability revealed in malaria genomes newly sequenced by two multi-national research teams points to new challenges in efforts to eradicate the parasite, but also offers a better picture of its genetic composition, providing an initial roadmap in the development of vaccines to combat malaria. |
| Posted: 05 Aug 2012 11:48 AM PDT It's a longstanding question in biology: How do cells know when to progress through the cell cycle? Researchers have now precisely measured the growth rates of single cells, allowing them to answer that fundamental question. They report that mammalian cells divide not when they reach a critical size, but when their growth rate hits a specific threshold. |
