Gerton Lab determines the composition of centromeric chromatin
The Stowers Institute's Gerton Lab has provided new evidence to clarify the structure of nucleosomes containing Cse4, a centromere-specific histone protein required for proper kinetochore function, which plays a critical role in the process of mitosis. The work, conducted in yeast cells, was published in the most recent issue of Molecular Cell. view more (2009-09-29)
MGH researchers confirm that bone marrow restores fertility in female mice
A new study from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers confirms that female mice that receive bone marrow transplantation after fertility-destroying chemotherapy can go on to have successful pregnancies throughout their normal reproductive life. view more (2007-08-01)
Air pollution linked to cardiovascular risk indices in healthy young adults
Researchers in Taiwan have demonstrated for the first time that urban air pollution simultaneously affects key indicators of cardiovascular risk in young adults: inflammation, oxidative stress, coagulation and autonomic dysfunction. view more (2007-08-15)
Men with multiple sclerosis pass disease to offspring more often than women
According to a new study, men transmit multiple sclerosis (MS) to their children 2.2 times more often than women in families where the father or mother and a child have multiple sclerosis. view more (2006-07-25)
Women and arthritis sufferers have poorer short-term recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery

Mary had a lot of lambs: Researchers identify way to accelerate sheep breeding
Mary had a little lamb, but only once a year. However, Cornell Sheep Program researchers have discovered an unusual form of a gene that prompts ewes to breed out of season as well as conceive at younger ages and more frequently. view more (2009-08-07)
Protein found to protect breast cancer tumors from chemotherapy
About half of women whose breast cancer is treated with standard chemotherapy have their cancer return within five years. Most chemotherapeutic drugs have undesirable side effects, but there has been no way to predict who would benefit and who wouldn't. view more (2006-08-22)
Heavy smokers at increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis
Heavy smokers are at increased risk of developing the painful joint disease rheumatoid arthritis, finds a study in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases. The research also shows that a family history of the disease, a known risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis, was less common among heavy smokers. The study team analysed the smoking habits of 239... view more... (2001-02-10)
Stubble equals trouble? Shaving, heart disease and stroke
How often a man shaves may be a marker of his susceptibility to heart disease, according to new research from the University of Bristol, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology this week. The Caerphilly Study by Professor Shah Ebrahim and colleagues in the Department of Social Medicine examined the link between shaving, coronary heart... view more... (2003-02-07)
Prenatal Genistein In Soy Reduces Obesity In Offspring
A single nutrient found in soy products elicits changes in gene behavior that permanently reduce an embryo's risk of becoming obese later in life, according to an animal study at Duke University Medical Center. view more (2006-03-29)
Muslim mothers face stress living in extended families
Muslim mothers living in Britain have reported unusually high levels of depression and anxiety. This is particularly linked to extended family living, where three or more generations live side by side. view more (1998-11-11)
tNOX serves as a serum marker for detection and monitoring of disease progression in prostate cancer
A team of researchers at Purdue University has found a protein in the blood that may prove to be more reliable than the standard prostate specific antigen (PSA) test in measuring the extent of prostate cancer. view more (2006-09-14)
Absence of critical protein linked to infertility
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign report that experiments involving mice - to be detailed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences - indicate that the transcription factor protein C/EBPb must be present in the uterus for pregnancy to occur. view more (2006-01-17)
Duration of breast feeding may influence health in later life
Breast feeding in infancy is related to reduced arterial function 20 years later, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Although breast feeding should continue to be recommended to promote infant health, these findings raise an important question about the optimal duration of breast feeding. Leeson and colleagues measured arterial distensibility (a... view more... (2001-03-13)
Blood inflammation plays role in Alzheimer's disease
People whose blood shows signs of inflammation are more likely to later develop Alzheimer's disease than people with no signs of inflammation. view more (2007-05-29)
Tolerance to inhalants may be caused by changes in gene expression
Changes in the expression of genes may be the reason why people who abuse inhalants, such as spray paint or glue, quickly develop a tolerance, biologists at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered. view more (2007-10-18)
Bad Teeth May Signal Risk for Heart Attack
Elderly persons with active root caries, a type of tooth decay, have an increased risk of having irregular heart beats. This study is published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. view more (2005-05-19)
Professors to develop hand-held pathogen testing device
Testing for deadly food, air and water pathogens may get a lot easier and cheaper thanks to the work of a Michigan State University researcher and his team. view more (2006-12-19)
New blood marker may predict prostate cancer spread
Researchers report finding a new blood biomarker that enables close to 98 percent accuracy in predicting the spread of prostate cancer to regional lymph nodes. view more (2008-02-28)
