Scientists solve structure of gene regulator that plays key role in cancer
Scientists at The Wistar Institute have collaborated on a major advance in understanding a gene regulator that contributes to some of the deadliest cancers in humans. The culmination of 10 years' work, their research paves the way for the development of new cancer therapies. view more (2008-02-14)
In new statistical approach, data decide model
A data-driven computational approach developed by a University of Illinois statistician is revealing secrets about inner Earth and discovering unique gene expressions in fruit flies, zebra fish and other living organisms. view more (2007-05-24)
Building the lymphatic drainage system
Our bodies' tissues need continuous irrigation and drainage. Blood vessels feeding the tissues bring in the fluids, and drainage occurs via the lymphatic system. While much is known about how blood vessels are built, the same was not true for lymph vessels. view more (2009-04-27)
Cancer drug may improve memory in Alzheimer's patients
A drug now used to treat cancer may also be able to restore memory deficits in patients with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-09-08)
New research into the mechanisms of gene regulation
A team led by Penn State's Ross Hardison, T. Ming Chu Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, has taken a large step toward unraveling how regulatory proteins control the production of gene products during development and growth. view more (2009-11-20)
Master regulatory gene found that guides fate of blood-producing stem cells
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that a protein called NF-Ya activates several genes known to regulate the development of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), or blood-producing stem cells, in bone marrow. view more (2005-08-02)
Scientists find genetic pathway that could lead to drugs for kidney disease
Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara have reported a discovery at the cellular level that suggests possibilities for drug therapy for kidney disease. view more (2006-02-01)
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)
Jefferson researchers' discovery may change thinking on how viruses invade the brain
A molecule thought crucial to ferrying the deadly rabies virus into the brain, where it eventually kills, apparently isn't. view more (2007-04-20)
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)
Researchers identify new risk factor gene for rheumatoid arthritis
Scientists at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and a team of collaborators from across the country have identified a new risk factor gene for rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2009-06-10)
Chronic stress alters our genetic immune response
Most people would agree that stress increases your risk for illness and this is particularly true for severe long-term stresses, such as caring for a family member with a chronic medical illness. view more (2008-08-27)
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)
Trainor Lab characterizes gene essential for prenatal development of nervous system
The Stowers Institute's Trainor Lab has demonstrated the role of a gene important to the embryonic development of the nervous system, a process that requires coordination of differentiation of immature neural cells with the cycle of cell division that increases their numbers. Until now, the mechanisms regulating these distinct cellular activities... view more... (2008-02-04)
Evolution of fruit size in tomato
Domesticated tomatoes can be up to 1000 times larger than their wild relatives. How did they get so big? In general, domesticated food plants have larger fruits, heads of grain, tubers, etc, because this is one of the characteristics that early hunter-gatherers chose when foraging for food. view more (2008-06-30)
Resistance to chemotherapy in lung cancer, optimizing flu vaccination strategies
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, in part because these tumors often are or become resistant to chemotherapy. view more (2006-10-03)
Novel enzyme offers new look at male hormone regulation
For the second time in less than a year, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill scientists have purified a novel protein and have shown it can alter gene activity by reversing a molecular modification previously thought permanent. view more (2006-05-08)
Study finds gene related to brain development and function plays causal role in schizophrenia
According to a new study conducted by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, variations of a gene related to brain development and function-OLIG2-may play a causal role in the development of schizophrenia, a hereditary psychiatric disorder with no known biological cause. view more (2006-08-16)
Researchers discover a new pathway that regulates inflammation
Inflammation, the body's earliest response to damage or infection, can aid the healing process and trigger an immune response against invading pathogens. But inflammation gone awry can also undermine health, as in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or asthma. view more (2009-03-12)
UCSD Research May Lead to Targeted Treatment for Asthma Sufferers
The bronchial tubes of a patient with severe asthma can become scarred due to repeated episodes of allergic inflammation in the airways. The scarring results in blocked airways, excessive production of mucus, and shortness of breath. view more (2005-11-29)
