In the past few years, the ability to incorporate unnatural amino acids into proteins has begun to have a direct impact on the ability of scientists to study biological processes that are difficult or impossible to address by more classical methods. New research, led by members of Jason Chin’s group in the LMB’s PNAC Division, […]
Genetic code engineering in Drosophila melanogaster
Mapping the worm’s neural network
Work started at LMB by Donna Albertson, now at UCSF, and Nichol Thomson, has helped researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine determine the complete wiring diagram for the part of the nervous system controlling mating in the male roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans” More…
New Insight on General Mechanism Behind Gene Expression
New research, resulting from a collaboration between two groups, led by Sarah Teichmann and Madan Babu, in the LMB’s Structural Studies Division, advances our understanding of the interplay between the two most abundant classes of DNA binding proteins that are responsible for regulating physiological diversity in organisms. Although the two types of proteins that coordinate […]
LMB researcher wins ‘Media Fellow’ work experience with BBC Horizon
Andrew Holding, from the LMB’s Cell Biology division, has been awarded a British Science Association Media Fellowship – giving him the opportunity to work on Horizon, the BBC’s popular, long-running science programme. Andrew is one of just 10 scientists, chosen from 180 applicants, to be awarded a British Science Association Media Fellowship in this year’s […]
Rebecca Voorhees awarded Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellowship
Dr Rebecca Voorhees, a student and Career Development Fellow at the LMB, has been awarded a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellowship. The Fellowship will allow Rebecca to pursue a joint project working in the laboratories of Ramanujan Hegde, (LMB Cell Biology division) and Robert Keenan (University of Chicago, USA). The annual Fellowships provide 12 of […]
Data on Cell Biology Described by Researchers at MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology
According to news reporting originating in Cambridge, United Kingdom, by NewsRx journalists, researchers stated “CD4+ T cells play key roles in orchestrating adaptive immune responses, and are a popular model for mammalian cell differentiation. While immune regulation would seem to require exactly adjusted mRNA and protein expression levels of key factors, there is little evidence […]
