Some Cancers Become Contagious
Katarina Zimmer | Apr 1, 2019 | 10+ min read
So far, six animal species are known to carry transmissible, “parasitic” forms of cancer, but researchers are still mystified as to how cancer can become infectious.

Bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells stained with Molecular Probes' MitoTracker Red and SYTOX green nucleic acid stain Tools for Mitochondrial Research Table Fifty years ago, mitochondrial research was at the forefront of biology. The elucidation of the citric acid (Krebs) cycle, the mechanisms of oxidative phosphorylation, and the electron transport system (ETS) were arguably some of the most important breakthroughs in cellular biology. Soon interest waned, and the focus of research moved
Who Sleeps?

Unlikely Heroes
Nicole Johnston | Jun 1, 2003 | 6 min read
Dr. R. Thomas Broker Among model organisms, bacteria hold a unique place, as both models of infection and pathogenesis, and as research tools. More to the point, molecular biology was built upon the cell walls of lowly bacteria: The processes of DNA replication, RNA transcription, and protein translation, not to mention gene regulation, were all worked out in bacteria. Those early studies provided the foundations to understanding the more complex processes in eukaryotes. Despite their relati
DNA, RNA Probes Help Investigators Narrow The Search For Genes
Holly Ahern | Nov 26, 1995 | 10+ min read
For Genes Author: Holly Ahern For a geneticist, pinpointing a mutation in a human gene that might be responsible for an inherited disease can be likened to the proverbial search for a needle in a haystack. While mo-lecular biologists sift through the 3 billion base pairs in the human genome in search of disease-causing genes, other scientists choose to approach the problem from the perspective of the mouse, a model system for mammal research. Because mice and humans are members of the same gr
