Human embryonic stem cells display a unique pattern of chemical modification to DNA
Scientists from the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (BIMR) and Illumina Inc., in collaboration with stem cell researchers around the world, have found that the DNA of human embryonic stem cells is chemically modified in a characteristic, predictable pattern. view more (2006-08-07)
Cancer scientists call for a large-scale human epigenome project
A vast code, invisible to the DNA sequencing effort that constituted the Human Genome Project, is rapidly being shown to play a direct role in human health. This "epigenome"-from the Greek epi, meaning "in addition to"-consists of chemical "amendments" that dangle like charms on a bracelet from the linear string of... view more... (2005-12-15)
High circulating D-dimers are associated with presence of ascites
The liver is the production site of most of the proteins which favour and inhibit the process of coagulation and fibrinolysis. view more (2008-04-30)
Pine bark reduces inflammatory marker CRP in osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA), a type of arthritis caused by the breakdown and loss of cartilage, affects more than 20 million Americans. view more (2008-12-10)
USC study in Nature Genetics supports a stem cell origin of cancer
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) recently made significant strides toward settling a decades-old debate centering on the role played by stem cells in cancer development. view more (2007-01-10)
Autoimmune Diseases And Genetics
Autoimmune diseases are quite complex and this is due to the fact that these illnesses do not depend on just one gene. Thus, in order to find a suitable treatment, it is not enough to identify a gene involved in the development of the disease - each and every one has to be identified. To this end, a number of strategies have been design; for... view more... (2004-07-19)
The disease markers that will aid arthritis research
A combination of biochemical and MRI markers will allow improved measurement of osteoarthritis (OA) progression. view more (2009-07-24)
DNA test shows promise for identifying patients with colorectal cancer (p 1283)
Testing for DNA changes in stools might provide a new, accurate, and less invasive way to screen patients for colorectal cancer, conclude the authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the industrialised world, and early detection might help to reduce the risk of death... view more... (2004-04-14)
Scientists from University of Hawaii at Manoa find genetic marker
A new genetic marker associated with ovarian cancer risk was recently discovered by an international research group, led by scientists from the Cancer Research Genetic Epidemiology Unit in the United Kingdom. view more (2009-09-01)
Genetic marker linked to aggressive prostate cancer
Northwestern University researchers have discovered that a recently identified genetic marker for prostate cancer is linked to a highly aggressive form of the disease. view more (2007-05-21)
Early estrogen exposure leads to later prostate cancer risk
A study in the June 1 issue of Cancer Research presents the first evidence that exposure to low doses of environmental estrogens during development of the prostate gland in the male fetus may result in a predisposition to prostate cancer later in life. view more (2006-06-01)
Hopkins scientists find cells responsible for bladder cancer's spread
Johns Hopkins scientists have tracked down a powerful set of cells in bladder tumors that seem to be primarily responsible for the cancer's growth and spread using a technique that takes advantage of similarities between tumor and organ growth. view more (2009-08-07)
Study sheds important new light on inherited disorder causing iron overload
Research in today's New England Journal of Medicine (www.nejm.org) shows hereditary hemochromatosis is much more common than previously thought and will spur more study to determine who is most likely to develop complications from the debilitating and potentially fatal disease, write two faculty members at the Saint Louis University School of... view more...

The biggest bug in gut discomfort
In spite of our long and painful relationship with Campylobacter jejuni, we are just starting to answer basic questions about the bug that is the leading cause of bacterial food-borne illness in the United States, and one of the most common causes of diarrhea worldwide. view more (2006-12-13)
Study reveals a reprogrammed role for the androgen receptor
The androgen receptor - a protein ignition switch for prostate cancer cell growth and division - is a master of adaptability. view more (2009-07-28)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms and forensic genetics, maybe not such a perfect combination
Forensic genetics is the branch of genetics that, through DNA analysis and comparison, deals with the resolution of legal problems such as paternity tests. Recently, it has been proposed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) could be used as a new genetic marker in the field eventually even replacing the methods/markers now employed. But in... view more... (2004-10-21)
Researchers develop marker that identifies energy-producing centers in nerve cells
A protein that causes coral to glow is helping researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine to light up brain cells that are critical for the proper functioning of the central nervous system. view more (2007-02-02)
CSHL scientists discover a new way in which epigenetic information is inherited
Hereditary information flows from parents to offspring not just through DNA but also through the millions of proteins and other molecules that cling to it. view more (2008-12-01)
Negative effects of plastic's additive blocked by nutrient supplements
Experiments in animals have provided additional and tantalizing evidence that what a pregnant mother eats can make her offspring more susceptible to disease later in life. view more (2007-07-31)
Why embryos need a good diet
A thick-coated vole and a man with cardiovascular disease have something in common: both are doing what their mothers told them. They are part of the developmental programming phenomenon that is broader than many acknowledge, according to a review paper published in The Journal of Physiology. view more (2005-05-12)
