... the new findings may result in new treatments for recalcitrant human and animal viral diseases being developed based on the RNA silencing adaptive defense, which is distinct to the known adaptive immunity that targets protein antigens of viruses. "For example, blocking the action of viral silencing suppressors s...Stanford researchers isolate protein needed for stem cell maintenance
...s have finally laid hands on the first member of a recalcitrant group of proteins called the Wnts two decades after their discovery. Important regulators of animal development, these proteins were suspected to have a role in keeping stem cells in their youthful, undifferentiated state - a suspicion that has prove...Fe-TAML(R) activators developed at Carnegie Mellon remove recalcitrant sulfur from automotive fuels

White rot fungi such as Phanerochaete chrysosporium play a pivotal role in the carbon cycle--the circulation of carbon from the atmosphere into organisms and back ag......ctly why we move the way we do. To help solve this recalcitrant problem, Konrad Krding and colleagues, as reported in the open-access journal PLoS Biology, took a page from economists, who have long used equations called utility functions that incorporate the costs and benefits of a situation.
