DNA-Repairing Protein May Be Key to Preventing Recurrence of Some Cancers
January 28, 2013 11:42 am | News | CommentsJust as the body can become resistant to antibiotics, certain methods of killing cancer tumors can end up creating resistant tumor cells. But a University of Central Florida professor has found a protein present in several types of cancer, including breast and ovarian cancer, which could be helpful in preventing tumors from coming back.
New Key to Organism Complexity Identified
January 18, 2013 10:40 am | News | CommentsThe diverse complexity seen amongst individual species within the animal kingdom evolved from a surprisingly small gene pool. The key to morphological and behavioral complexity, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests, is the regulation of gene expression by a family of DNA-binding proteins called “transcription factors.”
Lack of Protein Sp2 Disrupts Neuron Creation in Brain
January 15, 2013 1:42 pm | News | CommentsA protein known as Sp2 is key to the proper creation of neurons from stem cells, according to researchers at North Carolina State University.

Scientists Discover Structure of Protein Essential for Quality Control, Nerve Function
January 15, 2013 1:20 pm | News | CommentsScientists at The Scripps Research Institute have determined the structure of Ltn1, a recently discovered “quality-control” protein that is found in the cells of all plants, fungi, and animals. Ltn1 appears to be essential for keeping cells’ protein-making machinery working smoothly. It may also be relevant to human neurodegenerative diseases.
Spread of Cancer Cells May Be Slowed by Targeting of Protein
December 19, 2012 11:24 am | News | CommentsThe spread of cancer cells may be slowed by targeting the protein km23-1. A motor protein that transports cargo within the cell, km23-1 is also involved in the movement or migration of cells. Migration is necessary for cancer to spread, so understanding this cell movement is important for development of better cancer treatments.
