Molecular Biology
A Molecular Biology guide, with links, news, and comments. Molecular biology is the study of biology at a molecular level. The field overlaps with other areas of biology and chemistry, particularly genetics and biochemistry.
Harvard and MIT researchers have demonstrated a way to build more powerful artificial visual systems, taking inspiration from screening techniques in molecular biology (a multitude of candidate organisms or compounds are screened in parallel to find those that have a particular property of interest).
"Reverse-engineering a biological visual system--a system with hundreds of millions of processing units--and building an artificial system that...

EMBL scientists are the first to visualize the mechanism responsible for oskar mRNA transportIn the fruit fly Drosophila, oskar mRNA, which is involved in defining the animal's body axes, is produced in the nuclei of nurse cells neighboring the oocyte, and must be transported to the oocyte and along its entire length before being translated into protein.Scientists in the group of Anne Ephrussi at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL...

A large proportion of late-stage breast cancers that have spread to other parts of the body (metastatic breast cancers) are characterized by overexpression of the protein Mdm2. Lindsey Mayo and colleagues, at Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, have now determined what drives this increased Mdm2 expression and found that Mdm2 helps promote cancer cells take on more aggressive characteristics, making it a potential target for...

IntroductionRenal insufficiency increases the half-life of low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs). Whether continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) removes LMWHs is unsettled. We studied hemostasis during nadroparin anticoagulation for CVVH, and explored the implication of the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP).
Methods:
This cross-over study, performed in a 20-bed teaching hospital ICU, randomized non-surgical patients with acute kidney...
