Reprogramming Human Cells Without Inserting Genes
A research team comprised of faculty at Worcester Polytechnic Institute's (WPI) Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center (LSBC) and investigators at CellThera, a private company also located at the LSBC, has discovered a novel way to turn on stem cell genes in human fibroblasts (skin cells) without the risks associated with inserting extra genes or... view more...

Hodgkin lymphoma -- new characteristics discovered
Researchers are still discovering new characteristics of Hodgkin lymphoma, a common form of cancer of the lymphatic system. The malignant cells are derived from white blood cells (B cells), but have lost a considerable part of the B cell-specific gene expression pattern. view more (2008-10-09)
Internal choices are weaker than those dictated by the outside world
The underlying sense of being in control of our own actions is challenged by new research from UCL (University College London) which demonstrates that the choices we make internally are weak and easily overridden compared to when we are told which choice to make. view more (2009-02-11)
MIT develops new way to fuse cells
MIT engineers have developed a new, highly efficient way to pair up cells so they can be fused together into a hybrid cell. view more (2009-01-05)
Plants display 'molecular amnesia'
Plant researchers from McGill University and the University of California, Berkeley, have announced a major breakthrough in a developmental process called epigenetics. They have demonstrated for the first time the reversal of what is called epigenetic silencing in plants. view more (2008-12-03)
Noninsulin-producing alpha cells in the pancreas can be converted to insulin-producing beta cells
In findings that add to the prospects of regenerating insulin-producing cells in people with type 1 diabetes, researchers in Europe -- co-funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation -- have shown that insulin-producing beta cells can be derived from non-insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. view more (2009-08-07)
A major step in making better stem cells from adult tissue
October 15, 2009 A team led by scientists from The Scripps Research Institute has developed a method that dramatically improves the efficiency of creating stem cells from human adult tissue, without the use of embryonic cells. view more (2009-10-19)
Harmful chemicals may reprogram gene response to estrogen
New research shows that exposure to harmful chemicals and drugs during critical developmental periods early in life may actually "reprogram" the way certain genes respond to the female hormone estrogen. This genetic reprogramming may determine whether people with a genetic predisposition for a disease actually develop the disease. view more (2005-05-31)
Cloned stem cells prove identical to fertilized stem cells
Scientists generally agree that all cloned animals are biologically flawed. But they don't agree about what that means for stem cells derived from cloned embryos, the basis for therapeutic cloning. view more (2006-01-17)
Novel marker of colon cancer
Colon cancer ranks second of all gastrointestinal malignant tumors, it is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. view more (2008-10-24)
New Stem Cell Program : Funds Awarded to Nervous System Projects and Stem Cell Bank Networks
Nine projects and two extensive networks will share 44 million Swedish kronor (SEK) in research funds, the first grants awarded by Sweden's new Joint Program on Stem Cell Research. Of nearly 50 applicants, 11 received grants. Several of the funded projects address the nervous system. Diabetes is another area to receive funding. - The entire stem... view more... (2002-09-05)
Search for cancer genes unlikely to succeed, say experts
The hunt to find common genes that are associated with cancer is unlikely to be successful, say experts in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-05-12)
CSHL researchers discover three new genes that cause lung cancer
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have discovered three genes that interact with cancerous results in 20% of lung cancers. view more (2007-10-09)
Antibiotic Resistance and Gene Transfer
The way antibiotic resistance spreads and possible problems from genes transferring have been identified by researchers from the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, in new evidence about the way genes pass from one bacterium to another. The research is presented today, Monday 7 April 2003, by Dr Karen Scott at the Society for General... view more... (2003-04-02)
Essential genes cluster clue to order in the genome
The identification of a cluster of essential genes on mouse chromosome 11 as well as similar clusters on the chromosomes of other organisms - including humans - buttresses the argument that there may be rules as to how genes are structured or laid out on chromosomes. view more (2007-05-04)
Implants mimic infection to rally immune system against tumors
Bioengineers at Harvard University have shown that small plastic disks impregnated with tumor-specific antigens and implanted under the skin can reprogram the mammalian immune system to attack tumors. view more (2009-01-23)
If you think cancer genes are simple, you don't know JAK
Cancer-causing genes can work in more powerful and sneaky ways than have been realized. Scientists have shown that a gene named JAK that is closely related to a common cancer-causing gene in people tips the scales toward cancer in an unexpected manner. view more (2007-09-18)
Mathematical model identifies genes which battle hepatitis C
Joint research by Dr. Leonid Brodsky, of the Institute of Evolution of the University of Haifa, and Dr. Milton Taylor, of Indiana University, led to the discovery of a mathematical method which can identify which genes in our bodies conduct the battle against the various viruses that attack us. view more (2007-07-20)
Suicide Gene Combination Targets Breast Cancer
A new 'mix and match' cancer therapy is being unveiled at the British Endocrine Societies meeting in Birmingham today. view more (2000-03-07)
Zeroing in on Alzheimer's
Hereditary Alzheimer's disease has been shown to be the result of mutations in certain specific genes. Other cases of Alzheimer's are also assumed to be traceable to the influence of a number of still unidentified genes. It is probable that these genes are located in a large area on chromosome 10q, which contains more than 100 genes. Working with... view more... (2003-09-25)
