Preeclampsia triggered by an overdose of gene activity
Preclampsia, the most dangerous form of hypertension during a pregnancy, is known to originate in the placenta. But the root causes remain largely a mystery. Findings reveal that it is not a single disease caused solely by genetic factors: Epigenetically regulated genes play an important role. The research team also developed an in vitro model of the disorder which demonstrates the dysregulation of an important transcription factor. -
DNA damage caused by cancer treatment reversed by ZATT protein
An international team has discovered a new way that cells fix an important and dangerous type of DNA damage known as a DNA-protein cross-link (DPC). The researchers found that a protein named ZATT can eliminate DPCs with the help of another protein, TDP2. -
Deer prefer native plants leaving lasting damage on forests
When rampant white-tailed deer graze in forests, they prefer to eat native plants over certain unpalatable invasive plants, such as garlic mustard and Japanese stiltgrass. These eating habits lower native plant diversity and abundance, while increasing the proportion of plant communities made up of non-native species, according to a new study. -

The research team has discovered for the first time that healthy breast tissue contains more of the bacterial species Methylobacterium, a finding which could offer a new perspective in the battle against breast cancer. -
Energy against the current on a quantum scale, without contradicting the laws of physics
In a classical thermodynamic system, the heat current flows from the hotter body to the colder one, or electricity from the higher voltage to the lower one. The same thing happens in quantum systems, but this state can be changed, and the flow of energy and particles can be reversed if a quantum observer is inserted into the system. -
Plant cells survive but stop dividing upon DNA damage
The cell cycle is how a cell passes its DNA but ceases if the DNA is damaged, as otherwise it risks passing this damage to daughter cells. Scientists report a new molecular mechanism that explains how this cessation occurs. The study shows that the transcription factor family MYB3R is normally degraded, but accumulates upon DNA damage to prevent cell cycle progression. -

New techniques may help scientists understand and manipulate bone remodeling
(University of Akron) Individuals with osteoporosis, and diseases like it, have access to a number of treatments but no permanent solution. However, that may soon change thanks to a University of Akron researcher awarded an NSF grant to study how cells communicate to regrow bone tissue. If the project is successful, this platform could be used to test the safety and efficacy of medications meant to halt bone loss, such as drugs for osteoporosis and bone metastasis.
