Mechanism for TRF2-mediated chromosome-end protection |
|
 Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute addressed the molecular properties of TRF2 that are both necessary and sufficient to protect chromosome ends in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Their data support a two-step mechanism for TRF2-mediated end protection. Two Italian researchers, Cristina Bartocci and Eros Lazzerini Denchi, are study's authors.

A Reliable Way to Detect Endogenous Murine β-Amyloid |
|
 Researchers examined the background signal of several murine β-amyloid ELISAs, and concluded that the majority of the background is from non-APP derived proteins. Most importantly, they identified ELISAs that eliminate this background signal. An italian researcher, Ottavio Arancio, working at the Columbia University, directed the research.
