NEW YORK -- I want to warn you that this is a very technical story, but it’s fascinating nonetheless.
New research in the journal Science has focused on what is called “a resurrected protein.”
A few years ago, researchers brought a 450 million-year-old hormone receptor back from the dead recreating its genetic sequence and synthesizing the protein in a living cell.
Since that time they have been studying the protein and comparing it to modern day proteins. They are using the knowledge to study hormones and how they work and what were different hundreds of millions of years ago.
Why is this important?
It is actually a way at looking at mutations and adaptive ways cells have changed over time.
