Biophysicists measure mechanism that determines fate of living cells

For the first time, biophysicists have measured the molecular force required to mechanically transmit function-regulating signals within a cell. A new laboratory method, named the tension gauge tether approach, has made it possible to detect and measure the mechanics of the single-molecule interaction by which human cell receptors are activated.

Study uncovers mechanism by which tumor suppressor MIG6 triggers cell suicide

Researchers have determined the outsize role a small protein named Mig6 plays in the tightly orchestrated suicide of cells — a phenomenon essential to everything from shaping an embryo to keeping it free of cancer later in life. Their findings unveil a conceptually novel mechanism for this biological regulation.

Whispering Gallery Inspires Virus Detector

By affixing nanoscale gold spheres onto a microscopic bead of glass, researchers have created a super-sensor that can detect even single samples of the smallest known viruses. The sensor uses a peculiar behavior of light known as “whispering gallery mode,” named after the famous circular gallery in St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, where a whisper near the wall can be heard around the gallery…

New oncogene identified for breast cancer

Scientists have developed a novel method to identify genes that, when overexpressed, make normal cells behave like cancer cells. Using this method, scientists have identified a new oncogene, which is a gene that contributes to the development of cancer, named FAM83B.
