In the June 1st edition of biobytes, Kristen Nowak and Nigel Laing (Centre for Medical Research, University of Western Australia) reveal that a heart muscle
protein can replace its skeletal muscle counterpart to correct serious myopathy
(Nowak et al., JCB), Manuela Sironi explains how parasites have driven interleukin
gene evolution (Fumagalli et al., JEM), and Renato Iozzo tells of the anti-tumor
effects of decorin protein (Goldoni et al., JCB). The show was written and produced
by Amy Maxmen, Ben Short, and Ruth Williams. Presented by Ruth
Williams.
