 Nature Cell BiologyAsterix's Roman foes -- Researchers have a better idea of how cancer cells move and grow Researchers at the University of Montreal's Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer have discovered a new mechanism that allows some cells in our body to move together, in some ways like the tortoise formation used by Roman soldiers depicted in the Asterix series.

PLOS ONEUniversity of Maryland School of Medicine discovers adaptations to explain strategies for survival on Mars University of Maryland School of Medicine research has revealed key features in proteins needed for life to function on Mars and other extreme environments. NASA-funded scientists studied organisms that survive in the extreme conditions of Antarctica. They found differences between the core proteins in ordinary organisms and Haloarchaea, organisms that tolerate severe conditions such as high salinity, desiccation, and extreme temperatures. The research provides a window into how life could adapt to exist on Mars.

BioScienceSome biologists shun new media An online survey of neuroscientists in Germany and the United States found that, although in both countries researchers believe "new media" such as blogs and online social networks are important in influencing public opinion and political decisions, the researchers make little use of new media themselves.

Genome ResearchResearchers find molecular switch turning on self-renewal of liver damage The liver is one of the few organs in our body that can regenerate itself, but how it occurs is a biological mystery. New research from BRIC, University of Copenhagen has identified a protein complex that act to switch on a self-regeneration program in the liver. "Our new data challenge the predominant 'stem cell-mania' as the results reveal important molecular mechanisms that enable ordinary liver cells to repair tissue damage," says Head of Clinic and professor, Bo Porse.

American Journal of BotanyAssembling the transcriptome of a noxious weed: New resources for studying how plants invade Scientists have assembled transcriptomes of a noxious weed, Brachypodium sylvaticum, or slender false brome. The transcriptome provides an extensive genetic tool for studying how invasive species, like slender false brome, successfully spread into novel ranges. In addition, the genome is available for a closely related species, Brachypodium distachyon. Together, the transcriptome and genome can be used as a reference for pinpointing differences in slender false brome genes and gene activity that may contribute to its invasive capabilities.

Nature BiotechnologyInternational consortium builds 'Google Map' of human metabolism Building on earlier pioneering work by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, an international consortium of university researchers has produced the most comprehensive virtual reconstruction of human metabolism to date. Scientists could use the model, known as Recon 2, to identify causes of and new treatments for diseases like cancer, diabetes and even psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.

Journal of Proteome ResearchSeeing through HIV's disguises Studying HIV-1, the most common and infectious HIV subtype, Johns Hopkins scientists have identified 25 human proteins "stolen" by the virus that may be critical to its ability to infect new cells. The researchers believe these 25 proteins may be particularly important because they are found in HIV-1 viruses coming from two very different types of infected cells.

Bridges experimental and bioinformatics perspectives to delineate protein-DNA interactions The control of gene expression by protein–DNA interactions is one of the foundations of molecular biology. "Introduction to Protein-DNA Interactions", newly published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, synthesizes what we know about these interactions from the perspectives of molecular and structural biology and bioinformatics, with the aim of bridging these approaches to provide an overall understanding of the nature of protein–DNA interactions.

PLOS ONEDiscovering cell surface proteins' behavior A Simon Fraser University chemist is the lead author on a new paper that advances scientific understanding of the structure and function of glycoproteins, in particular the number and positioning of sugars on them. PLOS ONE, an international, peer-reviewed, open-access, online, scientific research journal, has just published the paper, N-glycoproteome of E14.Tg2a Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells. Glycoproteins are membrane proteins and are often involved in human diseases. They facilitate communication between cells. Contact: Carol Thorbes
