Scientists reveal how phosphate escapes from actin filaments
Actin filaments are dynamic protein-fibers in the cell built from single actin proteins. Many cellular functions, including cell movement, are regulated by constant filament assembly and disassembly. The disassembly phase is initiated by the release.....»»
FCC to reintroduce rules protecting net neutrality
The US government aims to restore sweeping regulations for high-speed internet providers, such as AT&T, Comcast and Verizon, reviving "net neutrality" rules for the broadband industry -- and an ongoing debate about the internet's future......»»
Why more security doesn’t mean more effective compliance
Financial institutions have always been a valuable target for cyberattacks. That’s partly why banking and financial institutions are heavily regulated and have more compliance requirements than those in most other industries. A slew of new rules ha.....»»
Researchers develop first method to study microRNA activity in single cells
MicroRNAs are small molecules that regulate gene activity by binding to and destroying RNAs produced by the genes. More than 60% of all human genes are estimated to be regulated by microRNAs; therefore, it is not surprising that these small molecules.....»»
Captive pandas could be "jet lagged" if their body clocks don"t match their environment
All animals have an internal clock called a circadian clock, which is regulated by cues from their environment—but animals in zoos can be exposed to very different cues from animals in the wild......»»
New double z-scheme photocatalyst for selective removal of sulfamethoxazole in water
