New study shows that therapeutic gene expression can be sustainable for 1 year
Researchers at the Board of Governors Gene Therapeutics Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have shown for the first time that it is possible to sustain therapeutic gene expression in the central nervous system for up to a year, even in the presence of an anti-viral immune response mechanism that is normally present in humans. view more (2007-10-26)
Looping genes may hold a key to understanding breast cancer
Another piece of the puzzle that is breast cancer has been found by University of Queensland researchers. view more (2008-04-09)
Gene expression in labor; and more — press release from PLoS Medicine
A Research Article, Perspective and e-Letter all published today discuss the use of microarrays to discover genes involved in childbirth. The three papers highlight the complexity of such gene expression analyses but also how crucial it is to make original data available for reanalysis. view more (2006-06-13)
Iowa State researcher studies gene families to explore diversity and evolution
Theoretical biologist Stephen Proulx studies gene families to explore how genomes become diverse and evolve. view more (2006-08-01)
Salt of the Earth
A yeast gene responsible for salt tolerance has successfully been used to grow tobacco in a salty environment lethal to most plants. Dr Janey Henderson and Professor Phil Harris from Coventry University inserted the halotolerance gene HAL1 from yeast into a tobacco plant. HAL1 has previously been shown to confer salt tolerance in transgenic tomato... view more... (2001-04-04)
New gene linked to bipolar disorder
A new gene linked to both depression and bipolar disorder has been identified by UCL (University College London) and Danish researchers. view more (2006-10-04)
A potential targeting gene therapy for developing HCV
Gene therapy has emerged as a novel approach to combat HCV infection in the last few years. view more (2009-07-16)
First Parkinson's Gene Therapy Patient Passes One Year
The first ever patient to have undergone gene therapy for Parkinson's appears to have come through phase I without a hitch, suggesting that the therapy is safe and effective, reports Marina Murphy in Chemistry & Industry. view more (2004-09-02)
Dardarina, the Basque gene for Parkinson's
Research began when doctors discovered that various members of the same family had Parkinson's. There are many kinds of Parkinson's and some are hereditary. Now, a group of scientists have identified the gene which produces the hereditary Park8 variant of Parkinson's in four Basque families and another in the UK. The gene is called dardarina; a... view more... (2004-11-04)
Polymers are promising tools for gene therapy
New methods are being developed to cure illnesses with the aid of gene therapy. Polymer technology provides new and versatile possibilities for administering gene doses. "Polymers are used to pack the gene to be transferred into particles of the size of a ten thousandth of a millimetre. These polymers effectively transport the transferable... view more...

Bats add their voice to the FOXP2 story
When it comes to the FOXP2 gene, humans have had most to shout about. Discoveries that mutations in this gene lead to speech defects and that the gene underwent changes around the time language evolved both implicate FOXP2 in the evolution of human language. view more (2007-09-19)
U of Minnesota researchers find master gene behind blood vessel development
In a first of its kind discovery, University of Minnesota researchers have identified the "master gene" behind blood vessel development. Better understanding of how this gene operates in the early stages of development may help researchers find better treatments for heart disease and cancer. view more (2009-02-05)
Would you like gene chips with your salad ?
The first public release of plant gene chip information is being launched at the Society for Experimental Biology conference in Swansea on Friday 12th April. Scientists from the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre (NASC), part of a multi-million pound resource network, will announce a newly accessible plant gene chip database which is available... view more...

Il-22 gene delivers the goods and decreases intestinal inflammation
There are two major types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). view more (2008-01-03)
Mouse gene shows new mechanism behind cardiac infarction in man
A gene that, in different variants, increases or decreases the level of atherosclerosis has been identified in mice. The corresponding human gene has been shown to play a role in the development of myocardial infarction. The results of the study is published this week on Nature Genetics Online. view more (2005-03-08)
GEN highlights increasing use of digital gene expression profiling
A novel technique for carrying out gene-expression profiling is set to challenge the market dominance of the current, widely used methodology, reports Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News (GEN). view more (2009-04-06)
Shoots but no droop in longer-lasting plants
Limp lettuce and wilting roses could be a thing of the past, following the identification of a key plant gene by University scientists. The discovery could also improve food shelf life, and help speed up reforestation programmes. Plant scientists Professor Meyer and Dr Elena Zubko have identified the plant gene which produces a specific type of... view more... (2002-04-25)
New cancer gene discovered
A new cancer gene has been discovered by a research group at the Sahlgrenska Academy. The gene causes an insidious form of glandular cancer usually in the head and neck and in women also in the breast. The discovery could lead to quicker and better diagnosis and more effective treatment. view more (2009-10-14)
Isolation of a new gene family essential for early development
Researchers at BRIC, University of Copenhagen, have identified a new gene family (UTX-JMJD3) essential for embryonic development. The family controls the expression of genes crucial for stem cell maintenance and differentiation, and the results may contribute sig-nificantly to the understanding of the development of cancer. view more (2007-08-23)
Researchers have discovered a gene that can block the spread of HIV
A team of researchers at the University of Alberta, including a scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, have discovered a gene that is able to block HIV, and thought to in turn prevent the onset of AIDS. view more (2008-02-29)
