Researchers (from left) Dr Jake Baum. Mr Wilson Wong and Dr Jacqui Gulbis from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, Australia, have upended the theory of how cells grow and move, solving the structure of a protein that cuts power to the cell "motor". The protein could be a potential drug target for future malaria and anti-cancer treatments.
