Consortium develops new method to manipulate genetic material
A multi-institutional team of researchers, including scientists at the University of Minnesota Medical School, have developed a powerful tool for genomic research and medicine. view more (2008-07-25)
Cell phone use not linked to cancer risk
Long or short-term cell phone use is not associated with increased cancer risk, according to a study in the December 6 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2006-12-06)
Researchers develop guidelines to establish identity of genes responsible for common, complex diseases
Scientists from Imperial College London, the Medical Research Council, Case Western Reserve University, USA and the Hammersmith Hospital have developed guidelines which scientists can use as a benchmark for proof of identification of the multiple genes responsible for common, complex diseases. Predisposition to common conditions such as asthma,... view more... (2002-12-18)
Stem cell identity in culture may strongly depend on the cellular microenvironment
Identification, isolation and large scale culture of stem cells for potential medical applications is a major challenge in cell biology. view more (2007-04-25)
Jumping gene could provide non-viral alternative for gene therapy
A jumping gene first identified in a cabbage-eating moth may one day provide a safer, target-specific alternative to viruses for gene therapy. view more (2006-09-26)
Governor recognizes stem cell research at Einstein
Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University hosted a roundtable discussion on stem cell research with New York Governor David A. Paterson today. view more (2009-10-09)
Immune deficiency linked to a type of eye cancer
The incidence of squamous cell eye cancer is greater among kidney transplant patients and people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) than the general public, which suggests the disease is associated with immune deficiency. view more (2007-08-15)
New guidelines for prescribing opioid pain drugs published
A prestigious panel of pain-management experts representing the American Pain Society (APS) www.ampainsoc.org and the American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM) has published the first comprehensive clinical practice guideline to assist clinicians in prescribing potent opioid pain medications for patients with chronic non-cancer pain. view more (2009-02-10)
The secret of internal bliss revealed
Scientists now know for sure how cannabis works in the brain. By studying naturally occuring cannabinoids they have found that cannabis 'speaks' to nerve cells instructing them to stop releasing their chemical neurotransmitters so dumbing down their effects. The upside is that it makes cannabis effective for treatment of MS but it also has a... view more... (2001-04-03)
Can pathological techniques help identify primary colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma?
Primary colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma is a rare but distinctive malignancy of the large bowel. More than 96% of signet ring cell carcinomas arise in the stomach, with the rest arising from other primary organs. view more (2008-05-21)
Rules to Target RNA Are Focus of Research
Once described as DNA's less-famous chemical cousin, RNA, or ribonucleic acid, recently has moved to center stage. view more (2005-12-19)
Rong Li Lab demonstrates the process of mammalian egg maturation
he Rong Li lab team has answered an important question about how mammalian eggs undergo maturation through an intricate process of asymmetric cell division. The team discovered a novel pathway by which chromatin exerts command on the cell membrane to produce a specialized machinery used for cell division. view more (2007-02-06)
New paper sheds light on bacterial cell wall recycling
A new paper by a team of researchers led by Shahriar Mobashery, Navari Family Professor of Life Sciences at the University of Notre Dame, provides important new insights into the process by which bacteria recycle their cell wall. view more (2008-09-09)
The development of stem cells -- not only which and where but also WHEN
Yet another stride has been taken on the road to knowledge about the development of the nervous system. For the first time factors have been uncovered that decide when a cell is to develop into another cell. During the last ten years much progress has been made in finding out what determines how various types of nerve cells develop from a stem... view more... (2003-03-20)
Feeling up Cells
Locally resolved detection of cell signals with microelectrodes No matter how small, a living cell does not have a uniform structure. Instead, it has „organs“, called organelles, which are assigned various tasks. Even the „shell“ of the cell, its membrane, is not uniform. Functional building blocks, such as ion channels,... view more... (2001-03-01)
Med school discovery could lead to better cancer diagnosis, drugs
A Florida State University College of Medicine research team led by Yanchang Wang has discovered an important new layer of regulation in the cell division cycle, which could lead to a greater understanding of the way cancer begins. view more (2008-11-24)
ESC Congress 2004: Converting cells into heart muscle
Bone marrow derived stem cells can give rise to heart muscle cells. This plasticity concept - the ability of bone marrow cell to transdifferentiate into heart muscle cell - is supported by experimental and clinical data. Another possibility is to replace the missing function by causing transdifferentiation of existing cells. Transdifferentiation... view more... (2004-08-30)
Avoiding Spleen Removal for Cooley's Anemia Sufferers
Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College may have discovered the precise role of a gene in one of the world's most common blood disorders, beta-thalassemia, commonly known as Cooley's anemia. view more (2008-05-28)
Study may aid efforts to prevent uncontrolled cell division in cancer
Researchers from the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have uncovered a remarkable property of the contractile ring, a structure required for cell division. view more (2009-05-29)
