A team that included Banumathi Sankaran of the Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging Division studied a protein called σNS, an important component of some viral factories. Understanding how this protein works will foster development of therapeutic strategies against viruses that use similar proteins to replicate.
Scientists Discover Nitrogen-fixing Organelle
After years of work, an international team found evidence that a once-independent nitrogen-fixing microbe has become a permanent resident within algae cells.
Toward Engineering Cell-like Factories
Cheryl Kerfeld’s laboratory, which operates at both Michigan State University and Berkeley Lab, teamed up with researchers at Pennsylvania State University and the University of Delaware to take a first step toward creating artificial cells that lack a lipid membrane.
Towards a New Framework for Radiation Cancer Treatment
Though it may seem counterintuitive, delivering ultrafast, high-intensity doses of radiation to tumors can actually reduce the toxicity to surrounding healthy cells, while still directing a potent anti-cancer effect towards the target. Scientists have documented this perplexing phenomenon—dubbed the FLASH radiotherapy effect—in both cell lines and animal models, but they have yet to confirm how or why it works. A new experimental platform that uses X-rays to investigate the FLASH effect brings science a step closer to clarifying its underlying mechanisms, laying the foundation for major strides in the field of radiation oncology.
Researchers Leverage SAXS to Understand Aspect of Microbial Metabolism
A team of Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging Division researchers used synchrotron technology unique to the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Berkeley Lab to probe the conformational states behind electron bifurcation.
