RNA found in the cellular centrosome of surf clams
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole and Louisiana State University (LSU) Health Sciences Center have discovered the presence of the genetic material RNA in the centrosome, the organizing structure inside each cell that assures proper... view more (2006-06-07)

LSUHSC research finds evidence of RNA in structures essential to cell division
Research led by Mark Alliegro, PhD, Professor of Cell Biology and Anatomy at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center at New Orleans, provides evidence for the first time that centrosomes, which play a key role in cell division, may carry their own genetic machinery, answering a... view more (2006-06-14)

MBL Scientists Find Evidence of RNA in Organelle Essential to Cell Division
Despite more than a century of study, scientists know relatively little about the inner workings of centrosomes—organelles essential to cell division in humans and animals.   view more (2006-06-07)

The cooperative view: New evidence suggests a symbiogenetic origin for the centrosome
There are two ways in which cooperation is the theme of a paper published this week by Mark Alliegro and Mary Anne Alliegro, scientists at the Marine Biological Laboratory's (MBL) Josephine Bay Paul Center.   view more (2008-05-07)

Hopkins researchers piece together gene 'network' linked to schizophrenia
Reporting this week in the Archives of General Psychiatry, researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have uncovered for the first time molecular circuitry associated with schizophrenia that links three previously known, yet unrelated proteins.   view more (2008-09-03)

UCSD researchers link novel mutated gene to meal retardation and imbalance
The research team, directed by Joseph Gleeson, M.D., Director of the Neurogenetics Laboratory at the UCSD School of Medicine and associate professor in the Department of Neurosciences, have identified a new gene that, when mutated, leads to JSRD.   view more (2006-05-08)

'Network' approach identifies potential breast cancer susceptibility gene
Like a crossword-puzzle solver who uses the letters in some answers to figure out others, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and an international group of collaborators have used data on genes involved in inherited forms of breast cancer to identify a gene linked to non-hereditary cases of... view more (2007-10-10)

Unmasking the "Foreman" Of The Golgi Apparatus
The cell is a highly organized factory where each constituent has its place and a role to play. If one piece of this machinery falters, the whole cell is imperiled. The least anomaly may result in an uncontrolled cell likely to engender a variety of diseases, such as cancers. At the Institut... view more (2004-08-05)

Double trouble: Cells with duplicate genomes can trigger tumors
Abnormal cell division that yields cells with an extra set of chromosomes can initiate the development of tumors in mice, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have shown, validating a controversial theory about cancer causation put forth by a scientific visionary nearly 100 years ago.   view more (2005-10-13)

Chromosomal chaos in early embryonic development is linked to abnormalities in cytokinesis and spindle formation
Berlin, Germany: Abnormalities in the spindles (the bi-polar thread like structures that link and pull the chromosomes during cell division) of human embryos before implantation may be the primary reason for many of the chromosome defects observed in early human development, a scientist said on... view more (2004-06-29)
