Scientists learn more about how inhibitory brain cells get excited
Jan. 30, 2013 Scientists have found an early step in how the brain’s inhibitory cells get excited. A natural balance of excitement and inhibition keeps the brain from firing electrical impulses randomly and excessively, resulting in problems such as schizophrenia and seizures.

Protein folding via charge zippers
Jan. 18, 2013 Membrane proteins are the “molecular machines” in biological cell envelopes. They control diverse processes, such as the transport of molecules across the lipid membrane, signal transduction, and photosynthesis.

Using artificial, cell-like ‘honey pots’ to entrap deadly viruses
ScienceDaily (Mar. 3, 2011) Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Weill Cornell Medical College have designed artificial “protocells” that can lure, entrap and inactivate a class of deadly human viruses — think decoys with teeth. The technique offers a new research tool that can be used to study in detail the mechanism by which viruses attack cells, and might even become the basis for a new class of antiviral drugs
