Gene expression in alligators suggests birds have 'thumbs'
The latest breakthrough in a 120 year-old debate on the evolution of the bird wing was published in the open-access journal PLoS ONE. View More (2008-10-06)


Protein protects anti-cancer gene from chemical shutdown
A protein that is largely absent in one type of skin cancer protects an important gene in a cell's defense against harmful mutations from being silenced. View More (2007-07-20)



Radiotherapy can cause lasting vascular disease
For an as yet unknown reason, cancer radiotherapy can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease later in life, a problem that is growing as more and more people survive their cancer diagnosis. View More (2010-03-23)


Mechanism for regulation of growth and differentiation of adult muscle stem cells is revealed
During muscle regeneration, which is a natural response to injury and disease, environmental cues cause adult muscle stem cells (satellite cells) to shift from dormancy to actively building new muscle tissue. View More (2007-12-10)


Depression model leaves mice with molecular scar
In addition to triggering a depression-like social withdrawal syndrome, repeated defeat by dominant animals leaves a mouse with an enduring "molecular scar" in its brain that could help to explain why depression is so difficult to cure. View More (2006-03-01)


Computer models calculate systems-wide costs of gene expression
Bioengineers at the University of California, San Diego have developed a method of modeling, simultaneously, an organism's metabolism and its underlying gene expression. View More (2012-08-08)


Tying our fate to molecular markings
A Simon Fraser University physicist has helped discover that understanding how a chemical mark on our DNA affects gene expression could be as useful to scientists as fingerprints are to police at a crime scene. View More (2012-10-12)


MRI: A window to genetic properties of brain tumors
Doctors diagnose and prescribe treatment for brain tumors by studying, under a microscope, tumor tissue and cell samples obtained through invasive biopsy or surgery. View More (2008-03-25)


Van Andel Institute Study Rules Out Transcriptional Coactivators as Useful Herpes Antiviral Drug Targets
Researchers at Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) have determined that the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) does not require transcriptional coactivators for viral gene expression early in the infection process. The finding is significant in determining that, in contradiction to earlier models, chemical inhibitors of these cellular proteins are not likely to serve as useful antiviral drugs. View More (2009-03-26)


Scientists observe single gene activity in living cells
Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have for the first time observed the activity of a single gene in living cells.  View More (2011-04-22)


Scientists find clue to mechanisms of gene signaling and regulation
Scientists have discovered a pattern in the DNA sequence of the mouse genome that may play a fundamental part in the way DNA molecules regulate gene expression. View More (2007-08-23)


UT Southwestern researchers identify new targets for RNAs that regulate genes
Tiny strands of genetic material called RNA - a chemical cousin of DNA - are emerging as major players in gene regulation, the process inside cells that drives all biology and that scientists seek to control in order to fight disease. View More (2008-07-07)


Gene expression levels may reveal stage of Huntington's disease
A survey of the genome of patients with Huntington's Disease (HD) has identified potential markers of the progression of this devastating neurological disorder. View More (2005-08-17)


Vanderbilt-led study identifies genes linked to resistance to breast cancer chemotherapy
A study led by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC) investigators has identified a gene expression pattern that may explain why chemotherapy prior to surgery isn't effective against some tumors and suggests new therapy options for patients with specific subtypes of breast cancer. View More (2012-06-12)


Computation to unravel how genes are regulated and shed light on how cells become different
A closer alliance between computational and experimental researchers is needed to make progress towards one of biology's most challenging goals, understanding how epigenetic marks contribute to regulation of gene expression. View More (2008-04-11)


OHSU discovery may lead to new treatment for ALS
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University School of Dentistry have discovered that TDP-43, a protein strongly linked to ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) and other neurodegenerative diseases, appears to activate a variety of different molecular pathways when genetically manipulated. View More (2012-07-19)


U-M researchers discover way to block neurodegeneration in an adult form of Fragile X syndrome
Expression of a toxic RNA that leads to Fragile X Tremor Ataxia Syndrome is modifiable by genetic or pharmacologic means, according to new research from U-M Medical School scientists.  View More (2010-12-14)


Divergent life history shapes gene expression in brains of salmon
Scientists working with salmon have found that gene expression in the brain can differ significantly among members of a species with different life histories. View More (2005-07-21)


Probiotic bacteria can induce monocyte-derived dendritic cells maturation?
Probiotic bacteria are widely used to relieve the symptoms of many disorders such as inflammatory bowel syndrome, diarrhea, and allergies. Probiotic mixtures have also been found to reduce the symptoms of diarrhea. View More (2008-09-25)


Predicting acute GVHD by gene expression could improve liver stem cell transplant outcomes
Many cell transplants involve the use of stem cells from another human being (known as an allograft), which raises the major concern of the potential for acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). View More (2008-07-21)
