| How a protein protects cells from HIV infection Posted: 12 Feb 2012 04:25 PM PST A novel discovery reveals a mechanism by which the immune system tries to halt the spread of HIV. Harnessing this mechanism may open up new paths for therapeutic research aimed at slowing the virus' progression to AIDS.  |
| A mitosis mystery solved: How chromosomes align perfectly in a dividing cell Posted: 12 Feb 2012 04:25 PM PST Although the process of mitotic cell division has been studied intensely for more than 50 years, researchers have only now solved the mystery of how cells correctly align their chromosomes during symmetric mitosis.  |
| Complex wiring of the nervous system may rely on a just a handful of genes and proteins Posted: 11 Feb 2012 06:53 AM PST Researchers have discovered a startling feature of early brain development that helps to explain how complex neuron wiring patterns are programmed using just a handful of critical genes. The findings may help scientists develop new therapies for neurological disorders, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and provide insight into certain cancers.  |
