New paradigm for cell-specific gene delivery
Researchers from Northwestern University and Texas A & M University have discovered a new way to limit gene transfer and expression to specific tissues in animals. view more (2008-06-23)
3 newly discovered ERK pathway proteins related to CagA induced disease
Cytotoxin-associated gene A protein (CagA) from type I H.pylori has been proved by epidemiological and experimental studies to be closely associated with the H.pylori induced gastric diseases, especially gastric cancer. view more (2008-02-25)
Farnesoid X receptor regulates cystathionase
The expression and activity of Cystathionase is reduced in rodent models of liver injury, leading to hyper-homocysteinemia and impaired generation of hydrogen sulphide, two factors that contribute to endothelial dysfunction and increased intrahepatic resistance. view more (2009-05-13)
DKK-3 and WIF-1: Proteins related to liver cancer development?
Liver cancer is one of the most fatal human malignancies and the third most frequent cause of tumor-related death, about half a million people globally each year. view more (2009-06-15)
Biologists develop large gene dataset for rice plant
Scientists have reported development of a large dataset of gene sequences in rice. The information will lead to an increased understanding of how genes work in rice, an essential food for much of the world's population. view more (2007-03-14)
Genetic pathway responsible for link between body clock disturbance and worsening arthritis
The genes that regulate human circadian rhythm, or 'the body clock', are significantly disturbed in individuals with arthritis. view more (2009-06-11)
Gene panel predicts lung cancer survival, study finds
Researchers from four leading cancer centers have confirmed that an analysis involving a panel of genes can be used to predict which lung cancer patients will have the worst survival. The finding could one day lead to a test that would help determine who needs more aggressive treatment. view more (2008-07-22)
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)
Greatest thing since sliced bread: New data offer important clues toward improving wheat yields
Breed a better crop of wheat? That's exactly what a team of researchers from Kansas State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture hope their research will lead to. view more (2009-03-11)
Researchers see evidence of memory in the songbird brain
When a zebra finch hears a new song from a member of its own species, the experience changes gene expression in its brain in unexpected ways, researchers report. view more (2009-06-29)
SUMO protein guides chromatin remodeler to suppress genes
In an in vitro study, led by Grace Gill, PhD, Tufts University School of Medicine, researchers discovered how a protein called SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-related Modifier) guides an enzyme complex that alters the structure of chromatin to regulate expression of genes. view more (2009-04-28)
How can identical twins be genetically different?
They sleep together, eat together, and most people find it impossible to tell them apart. Identical twins who grow up together share just about everything, including their genes. But sometimes only one twin will have health problems when genetics predicts both of them should. view more (2006-07-26)
Jefferson scientists uncover role of cancer stem cell marker: controlling gene expression
Scientists at Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia have made an extraordinary advance in the understanding of the function of a gene previously shown to be part of an 11-gene "signature" that can predict which tumors will be aggressive and likely to spread. view more (2008-01-18)
MicroRNA processing and cancer
In an upcoming G&D paper, Dr. Scott Hammond (UNC-Chapel Hill) and colleagues describe a key regulatory step during microRNA biogenesis, which may underlie alterations of microRNA expression in cancer. view more (2006-08-01)
A low expression of MX2 gene exists in the white blood cells of narcoleptics
The first report to identify the biological markers of narcolepsy using gene expression in white blood cells finds that the MX2 gene, which is relevant to the immune system, is significantly less expressed in narcoleptics compared with normal subjects. view more (2007-08-01)
WT1, male fertility and tumorigenesis
Detailed in an upcoming report in G&D, Dr. Miles Wilkinson and colleagues use a new tissue-specific RNAi approach they developed to identify a novel postnatal role for the Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) tumor suppressor in spermatogenesis. view more (2006-01-16)
A fly lamin gene is both like and unlike human genes
Lamins are intermediate filament proteins that make up a matrix underlying the nuclear membrane. view more (2007-06-13)
Getting more from whole-transcript microarrays
The widely-used Affymetrix Whole-Transcript Gene 1.0 ST (sense target) microarray platform, normally used to assay gene expression, can also be utilized to interrogate exon-specific splicing. view more (2009-05-22)
Study identifies 5 genetic themes key to keeping stem cells in a primitive, flexible state
For more than 25 years, stem cells have been defined based on what they can become: more of themselves, as well as multiple different specialized cell types. view more (2007-06-20)
1 gene that contributes to breast cancer's aggressive behavior identified
Aggressive forms of cancer are often driven by the abnormal over-expression of cancer-promoting genes, also known as oncogenes. view more (2009-07-21)
