Genetic Testing Could Identify HIV Patients At Risk Of Hypersensitivty To HIV Drug (pp 722, 727)
HIV patients at risk of a potentially fatal hypersensitive reaction to the antiretroviral drug abacavir could be identified by genetic testing before drug therapy has started, suggest authors of a fast-track study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The use of the HIV antiretroviral drug abacavir,... view more (2002-02-28)

Johns Hopkins to participate in 1000 Genomes Project
Researchers at the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine (IGM) at Johns Hopkins will join other national and international scientists in the 1000 Genomes Project, an ambitious effort that will involve sequencing the genomes of numerous people from around the world to create the most... view more (2008-01-22)

First British Glacial Map to predict future climate change
An academic from the University of Sheffield has produced the first glacial map of Britain, which could allow us to better predict climate change in the future. The map is published in the latest edition of the journal Boreas.   view more (2004-11-23)

International team analyzes human genetic variation in key immune region
An international group of researchers today unveiled a detailed map of human genetic variation within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), the most important region of the human genome encoding the human response to infection, autoimmune disease and organ transplantation.   view more (2006-09-26)

Making maps from space
A new and improved Land Cover Map was launched today (31 October ) as a key part of the Countryside Survey 2000. In his opening speech at the launch Lord Whitty, DEFRA Science Minister, said 'Land Cover Map 2000 is, I believe, the first ever national map of land cover and habitats, as seen from... view more (2001-10-30)

Tiny genetic differences have huge consequences: McGill researchers
A study led by McGill University researchers has demonstrated that small differences between individuals at the DNA level can lead to dramatic differences in the way genes produce proteins.   view more (2008-01-21)

Molecule discovered to be key to pain sensitivity
Sensitivity to pain and the risk of developing chronic pain appear to be influenced by levels of a molecule known to be required for the production of major neurotransmitters.   view more (2006-10-23)

Breakthrough in Molecular Genetics of Strawberry
The world's first molecular map for wild strawberry (Fragaria) constructed using transferable DNA markers has been produced by scientists at East Malling Research (EMR) in association with collaborators at the University of Reading.   view more (2004-12-08)

Phantoms in the brain: Pain after amputation
Losing a limb can be a traumatic experience and, in some cases, emotional and physical pain can linger for years.   view more (2008-05-13)

Blood pressure drop during bypass surgery associated with increased risk of cognitive decline

New imaging method shows whether treatment for advanced prostate cancer is working
Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a new imaging technique that can measure the effectiveness of treatment for prostate cancer that has spread to the bones. The technique involves measuring diffusion of water within tumors.   view more (2007-04-16)

Hand-to-ear link in brain established after minutes of piano learning
Contrary to what your music teacher told you, it does not take decades of piano practice to learn to play phrases on the piano without looking at your fingers. A brain map linking finger movements with particular notes begins to form within minutes of starting training, according to research... view more (2003-10-09)

A candidate gene for familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis identified
ELMOD2-gene is a prime candidate gene for familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, suggests the recent study published by the researchers at the University and University Hospital of Helsinki, Finland.   view more (2006-06-29)

Pathogen that causes disease in cattle also associated with Crohn's disease
People with Crohn's disease (CD) are seven-fold more likely to have in their gut tissues the bacterium that causes a digestive-tract disease in cattle called Johne's disease.   view more (2008-08-11)

Another bar in the Bulge
Using 2MASS data, Christophe Alard (astronomer at Paris Observatory) has reconstructed a map of the projected density of the old stellar population of the Galactic Bulge region. By making a combination of the H and K photometric bands, it is possible to overcome the effect of reddening, and thus... view more (2001-11-21)

The shape of cancer treatments to come
Over the last few years, radiotherapy treatment of cancer has become more successful through using so-called conformal techniques. This means that the 3-D shape of the radiation administered is adjusted or 'conformed' to match the shape of the tumour, thus minimising damage to surrounding healthy... view more (2000-09-06)
