Actin-Binding Surface on Vinculin Mediates Mechanical Aspects of Cell Movement

A team of cell biologists has obtained data that shows how two proteins, vinculin and actin, function in concert to regulate cell morphology, motility, and mechanotransduction and play a critical role in metastasis.   More...

Image: Working in a clean room, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology took extensive precautions to avoid contaminating Neanderthal DNA samples - extracted from bones like this one - with DNA from any other source, including modern humans (Photo courtesy of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology).

Epigenomic Mapping Highlights Differences Between Ancient and Modern Humans

Molecular biologists employing advanced epigenetic techniques have identified genetic differences between Homo sapiens and extinct types of humans such as Neanderthals and Denisovans that are linked to modern diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, autism, and schizophrenia. More...

Image: Ultrastructural appearance of a single measles virus particle as revealed by thin-section transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is 100–200 nm in diameter, with a core of single-stranded RNA, and is closely related to the rinderpest and canine distemper viruses (Photo courtesy of the CDC - [US] Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

Experimental Drug Protects Animal Model from Measles-Like Virus

Working with an animal model that mimics measles in humans, a team of molecular virologists have verified that a novel antiviral drug may complement the currently used vaccine and lead to eradication of the disease.  More...
