    13, 2009) Best known as the oxygen-carrying component of hemoglobin, the protein that makes blood red, heme also plays a role in chemical detoxification and energy metabolism within the cell. Heme levels are tightly maintained, and with good reason: Too little heme prevents cell growth and division; excessive amounts of heme are toxic. (Science Daily)

    Clues to cancer in AIDS patients found  Jun 19, 2009
    Dr Dirk Dittmer of UNC's School of Medicine writes in a study paper published in the journal PLoS Pathogens in April that the Kaposi sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is not only present in every tumor cell, but that the cells also transcribe microRNAs (miRNA) from the virus. MicroRNAs are small molecules that regulate gene expression. (India Times, India -- Health/Science)
