 Scientists have discovered how an unusual protein helps a cell bypass damage when making new DNA, thereby averting the cell's self-destruction.
But they also discovered that this protein, an enzyme called Dpo4, often makes errors when copying the genomic DNA sequence that later might cause the cell to become cancerous.

 The last few weeks have been crucial in the debate over climate change. On 10 January the European Commission outlined plans for a 20% cut in greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 compared to 1990 levels. Last week an international panel on climate change forecast global temperature rises between 1.8C and 4C by 2100. Two days earlier MEPs - who want a 30% cut in emissions - debated the issue in Brussels - you can watch the full debate by clicking on "previous plenary sessions" below. 22.2.2007 ETeam [http://www.europarl.europa.eu]

 The EP Environment Committee took a firm stance again at its second-reading vote on 10 October 2006. Basically following the recommendations of its rapporteur Guido Sacconi, it voted, by a large majority, to reinstate most of its amendments from first reading which had not been accepted by the Member States. Apart from the substitution of the most hazardous substances, the amendments related to the operators' "duty of care", a compulsory chemical safety report for chemicals in amounts of less than 10 tonnes and the promotion of alternatives to animal testing.
