| Botany: Moonlighting enzyme works double shift 24/7 Posted: 31 Jan 2012 12:08 PM PST A team of researchers has discovered an overachieving plant enzyme that works both the day and night shifts. The discovery shows that plants evolved a new function for this enzyme by changing merely one of its protein building blocks.  |
| Protein study gives fresh impetus in fight against superbugs Posted: 31 Jan 2012 07:25 AM PST Scientists have shed new light on the way superbugs such as MRSA are able to become resistant to treatment with antibiotics.  |
| Ancient DNA holds clues to climate change adaptation Posted: 31 Jan 2012 07:25 AM PST Thirty-thousand-year-old bison bones discovered in permafrost at a Canadian goldmine are helping scientists unravel the mystery about how animals adapt to rapid environmental change.  |
| Skin cells turned into neural precusors, bypassing stem-cell stage Posted: 30 Jan 2012 02:19 PM PST Mouse skin cells can be converted directly into cells that become the three main parts of the nervous system, according to researchers. The finding is an extension of a previous study by the same group showing that mouse and human skin cells can be directly converted into functional neurons.  |
