MBL Scientists Identify Driving Forces In Human Cell Division 11 Mar 2010 at 8:00am If you can imagine identical twin sisters at rest, their breath drawing them subtly together and apart, who somehow latch onto ropes that pull them to opposite sides of the bed - you can imagine what happens to a chromosome in the dividing cell... Molecule Tells Key Brain Cells To Grow Up, Get To Work, Stanford Study Shows 11 Mar 2010 at 6:00am About four out of every 10 cells in the brain are so-called oligodendrocytes. These cells produce the all-important myelin that coats nerve tracts, ensuring fast, energy-efficient transmission of nerve impulses... Start Of Phase I/II Gene Therapy Clinical Trial For Hemophilia B 11 Mar 2010 at 5:00am Amsterdam Molecular Therapeutics (Euronext: AMT), a leader in the field of human gene therapy, announced that the first patient has been dosed in the Phase I/II exploratory clinical trial with a gene therapy product for hemophilia B, a seriously debilitating and potentially lethal disease... A Deep Look Into Population Variation In Gene Activity Provides Key Insight I... 11 Mar 2010 at 4:00am Our DNA contains the information needed to produce different proteins that are the building blocks and key components of cells. Instructions to synthesize such proteins are incorporated into DNA sequences defined as genes. This precious genetic material, however, never leaves the cell's stronghold nucleus... Decoding Patient's Genome Found Gene For Inherited Neurological Disorder CMT 11 Mar 2010 at 4:00am Heralding what they hope is a new era of personalized genomic medicine, experts in the US have identified the gene behind a patient's inherited neurological disorder, in this case a form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, by sequencing his complete genome. Details of the quest are published online in the 10 March issue of the New England Journal of Medicine... Genomatix Gives A Hand In The Analysis Of Wayne State's Sequencing Projects 11 Mar 2010 at 3:00am The C.S... Dr. Alexander Varshavsky And Dr. Harmit Malik Awarded Vilcek Prizes In Biome... 11 Mar 2010 at 2:00am The Vilcek Foundation is pleased to announce the granting of the 2010 Vilcek Prize for Biomedical Science to Dr. Alexander Varshavsky, the Howard & Gwen Laurie Smits Professor of Cell Biology at California Institute of Technology, for elucidating the process and biological significance of regulated protein degradation in living cells... First Inherited Prostate Cancer Genetic Mutation Found In African-American Men 11 Mar 2010 at 2:00am Shahriar Koochekpour, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and Genetics at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, led research that has discovered, for the first time, a genetic mutation in African-American men with a family history of prostate cancer who are at increased risk for the disease. Dr... Researchers Identify Previously Unrecognized Genetic Disorder 10 Mar 2010 at 10:00pm Researchers from four laboratories that perform diagnostic genetic testing of chromosome abnormalities in individuals with unexplained physical and developmental disabilities recently identified a previously unrecognized genetic disorder... In U.S. Imaging First, Prenatal MRI Detects Rare Genetic Disease In Newborn 10 Mar 2010 at 9:00pm In a case believed to be a United States first, the radiology team at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital has used prenatal magnetic resonance imaging to detect an often-misdiagnosed genetic disease. The disorder, congenital chloride diarrhea, can cause severe dehydration and serious metabolic disturbances in newborns if not treated quickly... Research Identifies New Mechanism Regulating Embryonic Development 10 Mar 2010 at 7:00am A Princeton University-led research team has discovered that protein competition over an important enzyme provides a mechanism to integrate different signals that direct early embryonic development. The work suggests that these signals are combined long before they interact with the organism's DNA, as was previously believed, and also may inform new therapeutic strategies to fight cancer... Genetic Variant Greatly Increases Lung Cancer Risk For Light Smokers 10 Mar 2010 at 6:00am Individuals with a certain type of genetic susceptibility to lung cancer face a greatly increased risk for the deadly disease with even a small exposure to cigarette smoke, a study team that includes researchers from the University of Cincinnati (UC) has concluded... Scientists' Understanding Of Limb Growth Altered By Roving 'Sonic Hedgehog' Gene 10 Mar 2010 at 6:00am Sonic hedgehog, a gene that plays a crucial rule in the positioning and growth of limbs, fingers and toes, has been confirmed in an unexpected place in the embryos of developing mice - the layer of cells that creates the skin. Named for a video game character, Sonic hedgehog describes both a gene and the protein it produces in the body... ARS Study Provides A Better Understanding Of How Mosquitoes Find A Host 10 Mar 2010 at 4:00am The potentially deadly yellow-fever-transmitting Aedes aegypti mosquito detects the specific chemical structure of a compound called octenol as one way to find a mammalian host for a blood meal, Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists report... Discovery Of Gene For Newly Recognized Disease In Amish Children 9 Mar 2010 at 7:00am The gene for a newly recognized disease has been identified thanks to the determination of an Amish father and the clinical skills and persistence of Indiana University and Riley Hospital for Children physicians in collaboration with physicians and researchers at the Clinic for Special Children in Lancaster County, Penn., which specializes in disorders of the Amish...     HealthBusinessBuilder.com Build your Health Business Fast!
