A study by Nanyang Technological University (NTU)'s Assistant Professor Li Hoi Yeung, Assistant Professor Koh Cheng Gee and their team have made an important contribution to the understanding of the process that cells go through when they die. This process known as 'apoptosis' or programmed cell death, is a normal process in the human body which removes perhaps a million cells a second. http://www.physorg.com/news166786296.html Biology Tue, 14 Jul 2009 10:50:02 EST news166786296 A gene that helped one species split into two species shows evidence of adapting much faster than other genes in the genome, raising questions about what is driving its rapid evolution. http://www.physorg.com/news153066101.html Biology Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:22:11 EST news153066101 (PhysOrg.com) -- A cell's nucleus - home of it its most precious contents - is a delicate envelope that, without support, is barely able to withstand the forces that keep it in place. Now, researchers have discovered a network of molecules in the nuclear membrane that provide the nucleus with rigidity and also facilitate a previously undiscovered form of communication between the cell`s nucleus and its cytoplasm. http://www.physorg.com/news137420024.html Biology Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:13:44 EST news137420024
