Gene Function Breakthrough
A breakthrough in understanding the functions of human genes has been reported by scientists working at the Wellcome Trust Biocentre at the University of Dundee. view more (2002-01-08)
A new method to clone mice: an important step in the research for applications in the human
A simplified method for cloning mice, which has recently resulted in live offspring, has been developed at the Ghent University. Although a few laboratories have been successful in breeding mice by cloning, this is the first report on cloning of an adult mammalian animal in Belgium and using a self-developed purely mechanical method for nuclear... view more...

Severe mental retardation gene mutation identified
Researchers have identified a novel gene mutation that causes X-linked mental retardation for which there was no previously known molecular diagnosis, according to an article to be published electronically on Tuesday, March 20, 2007 in The American Journal of Human Genetics. view more (2007-03-20)
Oocyte-specific gene mutations cause premature ovarian failure
Mutations in a gene called FIGLA cause premature ovarian failure in at least a percentage of women who suffer from the disorder, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston and Shandong University in China in a report that appears online today in the American Journal of Human Genetics. view more (2008-05-23)
The autumn timetable is set - for a tree
How does a tree know it's autumn? Thanks to its genes, which are turned on and off in a pre-determined order. But in what order? Scientists at Ume'å Plant Science Center and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm have now brought to light the autumn "genetic timetable" of a tree. Philosophers like Winnie the Pooh... view more... (2004-03-31)
How stem cells are regulated
Researchers from Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC) at University of Copenhagen have identified a new group of proteins that regulate the function of stem cells. The results are published in the new issue of Cell. view more (2007-02-23)
Shelf-Life Science: Good Genes Could Stop Broccoli Going Bad
Broccoli is one of western Europe`s most popular and widely consumed vegetables. However, its shelf life is restricted to about 5 days at room temperature, making distribution and storage of the product difficult. Recent research presented today at the Society for Experimental Biology conference in Swansea could help us understand the genetics of... view more... (2002-04-10)
How body size is regulated: International study discovers ten new genes related to human growth
Scientists are beginning to unravel the question why people distinctly vary in size. view more (2008-05-12)
DNA repair mechanisms are concentrated in the active parts of the genome
Less than 10% of the human genome contains coded information in the form of genes. The 30,000-40,000 genes in the genome are found grouped in discrete regions of the chromosomes. Chemical agents and radiation habitually cause a large variety of injuries to the DNA which interferes in many cell processes, like transcription and replication, and... view more... (2002-10-01)
Causative gene for human "lobster claw" syndrome identified
A new study using mouse "knockouts" shows that genes that control limb formation in insects have similar functions in mammals. Split hand/foot malformation (SHFM) or ectrodactyly (the "lobster claw" anomaly), is a severe congenital malformation syndrome characterised by a profound median cleft of the hands and/or feet, typically associated with... view more...

Defective genes increase breast cancer risk in young women to a greater extent than previously estimated
A joint study between St Mary's Hospital, the Paterson Institute, Christie Hospital, The University of Manchester, Guys Hospital in London, and Cambridge University researching breast cancer has found that women with defects in certain genes have a higher chance of developing breast cancer when they are young than previous estimates. The report... view more... (2003-04-02)
Rushing fireball developed its own form of sugar digestion
Microbiologists from Wageningen have discovered a strange form of digestion in an exotic microorganism. The rushing fireball, Latin name Pyrococcus furiosus, has reinvented the wheel for several steps of sugar digestion. Pyrococcus furiosus, which was discovered 15 years ago on an Italian volcanic island, digests sugar somewhat differently from... view more... (2002-04-18)
Fruit fly research may lead to better understanding of human heart disease
Researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have shown in both fruit flies and humans that genes involved in embryonic heart development are also integral to adult heart function. The study, led by Rolf Bodmer, Ph.D., was published in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-12-02)
Gene therapy breakthrough offers hope to patients with inherited high cholesterol levels
New research published in BMC Molecular Biology explains how a new technique for introducing genes into mammalian cells using the virus responsible for warts could be a major step forward in developing gene therapy treatments for people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic disease that affects around 12 million people worldwide.... view more...

Scientists isolate chemical in curry that may help immune system clear plaques found in Alzheimer's
Researchers isolated bisdemethoxycurcumin, the active ingredient of curcuminoids - a natural substance found in turmeric root - that may help boost the immune system in clearing amyloid beta, a peptide that forms the plaques found in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-07-17)
Study finds 231 new genes associated with head and neck cancer
A Henry Ford Hospital study has identified 231 new genes associated with head and neck cancer, one of the most deadly cancers responsible for 2.1 percent of all cancer deaths in the United States. view more (2009-10-05)
Gene dose affects tumor growth
Researchers at Johns Hopkins and Ohio State University have found that the number of copies of a particular gene can affect the severity of colon cancer in a mouse model. view more (2008-01-04)
Study examines genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease
Cardiff University researchers have found evidence for new genes involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-03-06)
Queensland researchers get the latest tools to fight cancer
University of Queensland researchers will be at the forefront of fighting cancer thanks to a new $3.2 million grant from the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF). view more (2008-03-20)
Thinking ahead: Bacteria anticipate coming changes in their environment
A new study by Princeton University researchers shows for the first time that bacteria don't just react to changes in their surroundings -- they anticipate and prepare for them. The findings, reported in the June 6 issue of Science, challenge the prevailing notion that only organisms with complex nervous systems have this ability. view more (2008-06-19)
