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)
Balancing male fertility and disease resistance
An international collaboration of researchers, headed by Dr. Shiping Wang (Huazhong Agricultural University, China) has discovered that a single gene in rice regulates both male fertility and pathogen resistance, providing an unexpected genetic link between reproductive success and the disease resistance. view more (2006-05-08)
Caltech researchers pinpoint neurons that control obesity in fruit flies
A team of scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have pinpointed two groups of neurons in fruit fly brains that have the ability to sense and manipulate the fly's fat stores in much the same way as do neurons in the mammalian brain. view more (2009-08-19)
HIV vaccine takes different tack to boosting immune response
esearchers at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in Houston have reason to believe their unorthodox vaccine could one day help to prevent or control HIV infection. view more (2006-01-03)
European researchers tackle mitosis
Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) join forces with top scientists from eleven research institutes in Austria, Germany, Italy, France and the United Kingdom for "MitoCheck" - the largest integrated research project on cell cycle control within the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme (FP6). The... view more... (2004-07-15)
Researchers discover mechanism of insulin production that can lead to better treatment for diabetes
How a specific gene within the pancreas affects secretion of insulin has been discovered by researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, in collaboration with Japanese and American universities. view more (2009-11-13)
First gene therapy for heart failure offered at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia
Could injecting a gene into a patient with severe heart failure reverse their disabling and life-threatening condition? Physician-scientists are setting out to answer that question in a first-ever clinical trial of gene therapy to treat severe heart failure. view more (2008-06-19)
Knockout broccoli fights cancer
EATING your greens could be even better for you than anyone thought. Macerated raw broccoli turns out to contain small amounts of a potent chemical that inhibits the oxidising enzymes that damage DNA and potentially cause cancer. When you chew broccoli, its cells rupture, releasing an enzyme that produces a class of chemicals called... view more... (2003-04-05)
Gene patenting -- steep cost for health care and patients
The drug trastuzumab (Herceptin) is used to treat HER2-positive breast cancer (a type of breast cancer that overexpresses the HER2 gene and accounts for about 25% of all breast cancers). view more (2007-05-08)
New gene for rheumatism identified
A genetic variant that can explain the occurrence of a type of rheumatic disorder called SLE has been identified by a research team at Uppsala University, Sweden. The team, led by Associate Professor Marta Alarc'łn at the Rudbeck Laboratory, is presenting its finding in the latest issue of the scientific journal Nature Genetics. Nearly 6,000... view more...

Targeting astrocytes slows disease progression in ALS
In what the researchers say could be promising news in the quest to find a therapy to slow the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease, scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have shown that targeting neuronal support cells called astrocytes sharply slows disease... view more...

New technique kills cancer virus without harming healthy cells
Major breakthrough could lead to successful treatment of viral cancers, without side-effects. Yorkshire Cancer Research funded researchers at the University of York have made a major cancer breakthrough. Using a new technique called RNA interference, they have successfully killed human cervical cancer cells grown in culture without causing damage... view more... (2002-09-03)
A genetic factor predicts prognosis in brain tumor patients
PLoS ONE has just published a study which defines a gene locus on chromosome 1 that predicts prognosis of brain tumor patients and may even set the basis for the development of more efficient drugs to combat brain cancer. view more (2007-06-28)
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)
APL regulates vascular tissue identity in Arabidopsis
Plants have a conductive tissue, phloem, for transporting sugars and hormones to non-green parts after photosynthesis. Phloem has two basic cell types, enucleate sieve elements (SE) and companion cells (CC). Scientists from the University of Helsinki have developmentally analyzed the process of phloem development in Arabidopsis plant and... view more... (2003-11-13)
metaGen and RNAx Announce Target Validation Agreement
metaGen Pharmaceuticals and RNAx announced today the signing of a target validation agreement. Under the terms of the agreement RNAx provides metaGen with access to RNA interference validation technology (RNAi). metaGen will employ this technology to validate proprietary gene targets relevant for cancer and will own the derived results. Financial... view more... (2003-03-25)
Researchers find better prostate cancer indicators
Researchers at Mayo Clinic have narrowed the search for effective prostate cancer biomarkers (genetic variations that point to a specific disease or condition), identifying changes in the expression of genes of the whole genome closely correlated to prostate cancer development and progression. view more (2006-03-28)
UC Riverside Researchers Discover Model Organism For Studying Viruses that Affect Humans
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have discovered that a simple worm, called C. elegans, makes an excellent experimental host for studying some of the most virulent viruses that infect humans. view more (2005-08-18)
Ironing out malnutrition
Two of the three keys are in place to unlock the secret to controlling and enhancing plant iron uptake. Scientists are poised to identify the final step in the process that could supply the world with iron-rich crops. Collaboration between American and French scientists has led to the identification of three key genes involved in iron uptake in... view more... (2001-04-02)
New discovery proves 'selfish gene' exists
A new discovery by a scientist from The University of Western Ontario provides conclusive evidence which supports decades-old evolutionary doctrines long accepted as fact. view more (2008-06-23)
