Laminopathies: Key components in disease mechanism identified
(7.5.13 13:37)
A collaborative study between American and Finnish scientists has shown that an abnormal structure of the nuclear lamina, caused by laminopathy mutations, leads to changes in gene expression by disturbing the function of a specific transcription-regulating protein. The study was funded by the Academy of Finland, among others.

“Black carbon” flowing from the soil to oceans
(19.4.13 15:45)
A smaller proportion of black carbon created during combustion will remain in the soil than previously estimated. Contrary to previous understanding, burying black carbon in the ground in order to restrain climate change will not create a permanent carbon reserve. Instead, a part of black carbon will dissolve from the soil to rivers. The flux of dissolved black carbon from the rivers to the oce...
