Innate Virus-Killing Power Discovered in Mammals Innate Virus-Killing Power Discovered in Mammals Oct. 10, 2013 — Scientists have a promising new approach to combating deadly human viruses thanks to an educated hunch by University of California, Riverside microbiology professor Shou-Wei Ding, and his 20 years of research on plants, fruit flies, nematodes and mice to show the truth in his theory. Researchers led by Ding, who heads a lab in UC R.. 더보기
2013 노벨 생리의학상 그래, 노벨 생리의학상 발표가 났구나... 근데, 이거 되게 낯익은데 - _- 왠지 새삼스럽다는 생각이 든 건 나 뿐인가 했는데 아니나 다를까, 이미 연구된지 오랜지, 사용된지 오랜지, 다만 그간 너무 많은 사람들이 수상 대기자로 줄 서 있어서 이제사 받는거라고 하네 그렇지 - _- 난 내가 되게 엄청 열심히 많이 공부해서 노벨상도 만만한가 했어 ....는 농담이고 ㅋ 하지만 이미 밝혀진지 오래라는 사실은 안농담 대략적으로 소개하자면 우리 몸에서 사용되는 수많은 전달물질들, 예를 들면 호르몬(Hormone), 신경전달물질(Neurotransmitter), 사이토카인(Cytokine) 등이 어떻게 적시에 세포의 적절한 곳에서 분비되는가? 를 연구한 것이다. 특히 발생학이나 신경생리학, 내분비학에서는 이게 .. 더보기
Better Protein Creation May Be Secret of Longevity for the World's Longest-Living Rodent Better Protein Creation May Be Secret of Longevity for the World's Longest-Living Rodent Sep. 30, 2013 — Naked mole rats have what any animal would want. They live long lives -- about 30 years -- and stay healthy until the very end. Now biologists at the University of Rochester have new insights into the animal's longevity -- better-constructed proteins. Proteins are involved in nearly all funct.. 더보기
Sieving Through 'Junk' DNA Reveals Disease-Causing Genetic Mutations Sieving Through 'Junk' DNA Reveals Disease-Causing Genetic Mutations Oct. 3, 2013 — Scientists have revealed nearly 100 genetic variants implicated in the development of cancers such as breast cancer and prostate cancer. The new method designed by the team, described in the journal Science, identified these variants in the under-explored regions of DNA that do not code for proteins, but instead .. 더보기
Cold, Salty and Promiscuous: Gene-Shuffling Microbes Dominate Antarctica's Deep Lake Cold, Salty and Promiscuous: Gene-Shuffling Microbes Dominate Antarctica's Deep Lake Sep. 30, 2013 — Sequestered in Antarctica's Vestfold Hills, Deep Lake became isolated from the ocean 3,500 years ago by the Antarctic continent rising, resulting in a saltwater ecosystem that remains liquid in extreme cold, and providing researchers a unique niche for studying the evolution of the microbes that .. 더보기
Chemists Slide a Splitting Catalyst Over DNA for First Time Chemists Slide a Splitting Catalyst Over DNA for First Time Sep. 24, 2013 — Chemists from Nijmegen have developed a catalyst that binds to DNA, slides over it and splits the molecule in particular places. The researchers were able to do this by synthetically modifying a natural catalyst. This finding is a first in the field of chemistry and will help in the selective modification of polymers suc.. 더보기
Tiger Genome Sequenced: Tiger, Lion and Leopard Genomes Compared Tiger Genome Sequenced: Tiger, Lion and Leopard Genomes Compared Sep. 20, 2013 — An international team led by South Korea's Personal Genomics Institute and BGI unraveled the first whole genome of a 9-year-old male Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), and compared it with the genomes of other big cats including the white Bengal tiger, lions, and snow leopards. The genomic data from this study pr.. 더보기
Arctic Sea Ice Minimum in 2013 Is Sixth Lowest On Record Arctic Sea Ice Minimum in 2013 Is Sixth Lowest On Record Sep. 21, 2013 — After an unusually cold summer in the northernmost latitudes, Arctic sea ice appears to have reached its annual minimum summer extent for 2013 on Sept. 13, the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado in Boulder has reported. Analysis of satellite data by NSIDC and NASA showed t.. 더보기
Origins of Genomic 'Dark Matter' Discovered Origins of Genomic 'Dark Matter' Discovered Sep. 18, 2013 — A duo of scientists at Penn State University has achieved a major milestone in understanding how genomic "dark matter" originates. This "dark matter" -- called non-coding RNA -- does not contain the blueprint for making proteins and yet it comprises more than 95 percent of the human genome. The researchers have discovered that essential.. 더보기
