Stem Cells Determine Their Daughters' Fate
From roundworm to human, most cells in an animal's body ultimately come from stem cells. When one of these versatile, unspecialized cells divides, the resulting "daughter" cell receives instructions to differentiate into a specific cell type. In some cases this signal comes from other cells. But now, for the first time, researchers at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Embryology have found ... (Fri, 16 Feb 2007 03:16:09 GMT)

Scientists Unravel Molecular Motor's Ability To Pack DNA Genome Into A Virus
The life cycles of many viruses include a self-assembly stage in which a powerful molecular motor must pack the DNA genome into the virus's preformed shell (the capsid). How it manages this intricate feat has been subject to debate, but we know that the DNA passes into the capsid shell through a channel formed by a structure called the connector. Scientists have speculated that rotation of the ... (Wed, 21 Feb 2007 05:13:57 GMT)
