Regulated portals of entry into the cell

Article Abstract:

Cell biologists at the Scripps Research Institute report the findings of their research in the functions of the plasma membrane in the process of endocytosis. The article concludes that many complex molecular processes occur in a tightly regulated manner during endocytosis, indicating that it plays a crucial role in all aspects of cell development, physiology, communication and homeostasis.

CSI: cell biology

Article Abstract:

The scientific acceptability of the available digital cameras and image-manipulation programs such as Photoshop in the area of biological research is investigated. It is found that in 1989-90, only 2.5% of allegations examined by the US Office of Research Integrity, which monitored misconduct in biomedical research, involved contested scientific images and by 2001, it rose to nearly 26%.

A cell surface receptor mediates extracellular Ca (super)2+ sensing in guard cells

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on Arabidopsis complementary DNA clone which encodes Ca (super)2+ -sensing receptor. The authors have isolated this clone via the use of the functional screening assay in mammalian cells, and they report that this receptor exhibits low-affinity/high-capacity Ca (super)2+ binding.
