		<description><![CDATA[Most of us think of the heart as a highly sophisticated and durable pump. But another function of the heart is to secrete peptide hormones, which are small proteins that function as hormones. Multiple hormones are encoded by the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) gene that help to regulate blood pressure and volume. At the Experimental Biology 2008 conference in San Diego [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The main function of DNA is to encode the building blocks of proteins, and molecular biologists have become quite adept at cutting and pasting stretches of DNA to make nearly any protein they can envision. Unfortunately, small molecules, which are some of the most effective drugs, cannot usually be built so readily. Rather, synthetic organic chemists must [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MicroRNA&#8217;s are short single stranded ribose nucleic acids which regulate gene expression. They have been found in heart and muscle tissue, and some exclusively in the brain. The term was first introduced in 2001 in Science. Researchers at Rockefeller University have discovered that microRNA&#8217;s also help create our skin to protect us from bacteria and possible prevent skin cancer.
The lead authors, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investigators at Saint Jude Children&#8217;s Research Hospital have announced new research which has advanced the understanding of how cells undergo Apoptosis. Apoptosis is intentional programmed cell death and is believed to be one of the main reasons for the existence of cancer which hijacks apoptosis and prevents it from occurring. A report on this work can be found in the [...]]]></description>
