Scientists Clarify a Mechanism of Epigenetic Inheritance
Although letters representing the three billion pairs of molecules that form the "rungs" of the helical DNA "ladder" are routinely called the human "genetic code," the DNA they comprise transmits traits across generations in a variety of ways, not all of which depend on the sequence of letters in the code. view more (2008-04-23)
Genetic double-agents unmasked
Babraham Institute and Cancer Research UK scientists have discovered that certain enzymes with a key activity in the immune system may be important in stem-cell development, but may also work against us by contributing to the occurrence of cancer. view more (2004-10-26)
Novel molecular 'signature' marks DNA of embryonic stem cells
A team of scientists announced today a critical step on the path of realizing the promise of embryonic stem (ES) cells for medicine. view more (2006-04-21)
Therapeutic cloning gets a boost with new research findings
Germ cells, the cells which give rise to a mammal's sperm or eggs, exhibit a five to ten-fold lower rate of spontaneous point mutations than adult somatic cells, which give rise to the body's remaining cell types, tissues and organs. Despite their comparatively higher mutation rates, however, adult somatic cells are used as the donor cells in a... view more... (2009-03-25)

Making memories that last a lifetime
Neurobiologists have discovered a mechanism by which the constantly changing brain retains memories—from that dog bite to that first kiss. They have found that the brain co-opts the same machinery by which cells stably alter their genes to specialize during embryonic development. view more (2007-03-15)
X marks the spot: Sharpies get thumbs-up for marking surgery sites
A bit of good news out of the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta for patients undergoing surgery or an invasive procedure, their surgeons and cost-conscious hospital administrators. view more (2008-10-22)
Food additive inhibits longevity enzyme in yeast, increases cell toxicity, new study finds
A common additive found in food and cosmetics has been found to inhibit the activity of sirtuins, enzymes associated with lifespan control in yeast and other organisms, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. view more (2005-12-16)
Effects of aging in stem cells
There is little disagreement that the body's maintenance and repair systems deteriorate with age, even as there is plenty of disagreement as to why. view more (2007-07-24)
Genetic marker may predict early onset of prostate cancer
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers have identified a genetic marker that is associated with an earlier onset of prostate cancer in Caucasian men who have a family history of prostate cancer. view more (2009-05-18)
Use of archived specimens in biomarker studies
Researchers propose a more efficient system using archived specimens for the evaluation of prognostic and predictive biomarkers in a new commentary published online October 8 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2009-10-09)
First-degree fetal heart block may be reversible
There is an increased risk of fetal heart problems when mothers carry particular antibodies associated with rheumatic diseases, according to an abstract presented by Yale School of Medicine researchers at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Conference February 9 in San Francisco. view more (2007-02-12)
Mayo Clinic study finds two genes predict outcome for breast cancer patients
The 2-gene expression profile of HOXB13 and IL17BR in a woman's breast cancer predicts risk of recurrence in node-negative patients treated with tamoxifen. view more (2006-04-03)
New nucleotide could revolutionize epigenetics
Anyone who studied a little genetics in high school has heard of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine -- the A,T,G and C that make up the DNA code. view more (2009-04-17)
First population study of GM mosquitoes highlights difficulties facing malaria control technique
The first laboratory population study of genetically modified mosquitoes identifies issues that need to be faced in the task of turning mosquitoes from disease carriers into disease fighters. Scientists from Imperial College London report in Science today that populations including genetically modified mosquitoes quickly lose their test marker... view more... (2003-02-18)
Molecular 'marker' on stem cells aids research, perhaps therapies
A sugar molecule present on embryonic stem cells also has been found on the surface of a type of adult stem cell, a discovery that may help researchers isolate and purify adult stem cells for use in therapies aimed at bone healing, tendon repair and cartilage regeneration, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center report. view more (2006-12-04)
Researchers may have unlocked the mechanisms that silence the estrogen receptor gene alpha during breast cancer
The mechanisms that silence the estrogen receptor gene alpha (ER-α) in certain breast cancer cell lines may be closer to being unlocked. view more (2007-08-20)
The new 'epigenetics:' Poor nutrition in the womb causes permanent genetic changes in the offspring
The new science of epigenetics explains how genes can be modified by the environment, and a prime result of epigenetic inquiry has just been published online in The FASEB Journal: You are what your mother did not eat during pregnancy. view more (2009-04-14)
CellCentric and the Babraham Institute announce cooperation
CellCentric and the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, one of Europe's leading centres of excellence in epigenetic research, will work together in the exploitation of epigenetics. view more (2005-04-07)
