Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and University of
California,
San Francisco
have advanced scientists' ability to view a clear picture of a single
cellular
structure in motion. By identifying molecules using compressed sensing,
this
new method provides needed spatial resolution plus a faster temporal
resolution
than previously possible.

A hidden and never before recognized layer of information in the genetic code has been uncovered by a team of scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) thanks to a technique developed at UCSF called ribosome profiling, which enables the measurement of gene activity inside living cells—including the speed with which proteins are made.

A tiny, freshwater flatworm found in ponds and rivers around the world that has long intrigued scientists for its remarkable ability to regenerate has now added a new wrinkle to biology. Researchers have discovered that the worm lacks a key cellular structure called a centrosome, which scientists have considered essential for cell division.

A team of Univ. of California, San Francisco researchers has engineered <i>E. coli</i> with simple logic gates made out of genes. The gate controls the release and sensing of a chemical signal, which allows the gates to be connected among bacteria much the way electrical gates would be on a circuit board. The goal is cellular computation.

A collaboration between scientists at Vanderbilt Univ. and the Univ. of California, San Francisco has led to the first direct information about the molecular structure of prions. In addition, the study has revealed surprisingly large structural differences between natural prions and the closest synthetic analogs that scientists have created in the lab.
