New clue into how brain stem cells develop into cells which repair damaged tissue
The joint research, funded by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the UK MS Society as well as the National Institutes of Health and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, was conducted by scientists at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and University of Cambridge and was published today (01 July) in the journal Genes and... view more...

'Signature' of chromosome instability predicts cancer outcomes
Microscopic examination of tumor specimens cannot always predict a cancer's aggressiveness, leading to increased interest in molecular approaches to diagnosis. view more (2006-08-21)
Heme controls antioxidants and iron in ferritin
More than one million Americans have abnormal iron levels in their bodies. For example, iron excess can lead to a long list of health problems including diabetes, heart failure, liver cancer, arthritis and severe fatigue. view more (2005-10-11)
Accumulated bits of a cell's own DNA can trigger autoimmune disease
A security system wired within every cell to detect the presence of rogue viral DNA can sometimes go awry, triggering an autoimmune response to single-stranded bits of the cell's own DNA, according to a report in the August 22nd issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication. view more (2008-08-22)
MS study offers theory for why repair of brain's wiring fails
Scientists have uncovered new evidence suggesting that damage to nerve cells in people with multiple sclerosis accumulates because the body's natural mechanism for repair of the nerve coating called "myelin" stalls out. view more (2009-07-01)
Tattooing improves response to DNA vaccine
A tattoo can be more than just a fashion statement - it has potential medical value, according to an article published in the online open access journal, Genetic Vaccines and Therapy. view more (2008-02-07)
Mammalian neurogenesis breaks into the most static brain region
ifteen years ago, the discovery of adult neurogenesis (the production of new neurons) in the highly static, non-renewable mammalian brain was a breakthrough in neuroscience. view more (2008-06-04)
University of Strathclyde DNA researcher wins Royal Society of Chemistry Award
A DNA researcher at the University of Strathclyde has been awarded over £200,000 by the Royal Society of Chemistry. Dr Duncan Graham has won the prestigious Analytical Grand Prix Fellowship in recognition of his groundbreaking research into DNA diagnostics. Dr Graham`s winning entry involves a new technique, SERRS* technology, which is... view more... (2002-09-04)
First research to show that diabetes damages DNA in men's sperm and may affect fertility
Scientists have found that sperm from diabetic men have greater levels of DNA damage than sperm from men who do not have the disease. They warn that such DNA damage might affect a man's fertility. view more (2007-05-03)
Stress could damage DNA
A ground-breaking experiment has suggested that a certain type of stress could actually damage humans' DNA. view more (2004-08-23)
Why does an anti-anthrax drug kill plants too?
Scientists at the John Innes Centre (JIC), Norwich (1) have today reported that a very successful antibiotic, which is harmless to humans but lethal to most bacteria, also kills plants. They have found that an enzyme, which is an important target for several families of antibiotics and was thought to exist only in bacteria, is also present in... view more... (2004-05-12)
Stem cells and cancer: cancer pathways that also control the adult stem cell population
Speaking today (10 April) at the UK National Stem Cell Network Annual Science Meeting in Edinburgh, Professor Alan Clarke from Cardiff University describes his work to investigate a mechanism that normally drives adult stem cells to repair the intestine. view more (2008-04-10)
Oncologists could gain therapeutic advantage by targeting telomere protein
Inactivating a protein called mammalian Rad9 could make cancer cells easier to kill with ionizing radiation, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2006-02-17)
CU-Boulder research team identifies stem cells that repair injured muscles
A University of Colorado at Boulder research team has identified a type of skeletal muscle stem cell that contributes to the repair of damaged muscles in mice, which could have important implications in the treatment of injured, diseased or aging muscle tissue in humans, including the ravages of muscular dystrophy. view more (2009-03-06)
Saved by junk DNA
VIB researchers linked to K.U.Leuven and Harvard University show that stretches of DNA previously believed to be useless 'junk' DNA play a vital role in the evolution of our genome. view more (2009-05-29)
New pathway provides more clues about BRCA1 role in breast cancer
A breast cancer gene's newly discovered role in repairing damaged DNA may help explain why women who inherit a mutated copy of the gene are at increased risk for developing both breast and ovarian cancer. view more (2008-01-16)
Duke-NIEHS team shows how DNA repairs may reshape the genome
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center and at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) have shown how broken sections of chromosomes can recombine to change genomes and spawn new species. view more (2008-08-14)
Sisyphean movement of motor proteins may help preserve DNA integrity
Researchers studying how proteins called helicases travel along strands of DNA have found that when the proteins hit an obstacle they snap back to where they began, repeating the process over and over, possibly playing a preventative role in keeping the genome intact. view more (2005-10-27)
Linking DNA and histone methylation
In the May 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Michael Carey (UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center) and colleagues lend new insight into the mechanism of epigenetic silencing of euchromatic genes. view more (2007-04-30)
Making Shipyards More Efficient and Environmentally Friendly
Shipyards used to repair and convert existing vessels are set to become more efficient and environmentally friendly with the help of a grant of EUR2,151,000 (euros) from the EU's Framework Programme. SHIPMATES (SHIPrepair to MAintain Transport which is Environmentally Sustainable) is a three year project to provide a blueprint for a... view more... (2004-09-15)
