The clue of genomic instability in breast cancer
New research has shown, using human tissue biopsies - a hypothesis that until now could only be argued indirectly using cell cultures - that the significant increase in genomic "disorder" that is associated with breast cancer occurs in the transition between the typical hyperplasia and the in situ... view more (2004-09-07)

Scientists identify possible cause of endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition whereby patches of the inner lining of the womb appear in parts of the body other than the womb cavity. It can cause severe pain and affects approximately 15% of women of reproductive age. Endometriosis is also associated with infertility, with 50% of infertile women... view more (2008-08-06)

Researchers attach genes to minichromosomes in maize
A team of scientists at the University of Missouri-Columbia has discovered a way to create engineered minichromosomes in maize and attach genes to those minichromosomes.   view more (2007-05-15)

A youthful boost for Austrian plant research - New career opportunities at the Gregor Mendel Institute, Vienna
GMI Young Investigator is a new career level at the Campus Vienna Biocenter. The introduction of this position by the Gregor Mendel Institute of Molecular Plant Biology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences will enable young, brilliant plant biologists both from Austria and abroad to lead independent... view more (2005-03-16)

New clues to how sex evolves
Sex is a boon to evolution; it allows genetic material from parents to recombine, giving rise to a unique new genome. But how did sex itself evolve\\\   view more (2006-12-05)

Evolution of human genome's 'guardian' gives people unique protections from DNA damage
Human evolution has created enhancements in key genes connected to the p53 regulatory network - the so-called guardian of the genome - by creating additional safeguards in human genes to boost the network's ability to guard against DNA damage that could cause cancer or a variety of genetic diseases.   view more (2008-01-17)

Blame Our Evolutionary Risk of Cancer on Our Body Mass
A key enzyme that cuts short our cellular lifespan in an effort to thwart cancer has now been linked to body mass.   view more (2006-12-06)

Rapid movements of living biomolecules visualised
Dutch researcher Chris Molenaar has made the rapid movements of proteins, DNA and RNA molecules visible in living cells. With this technique researchers can study the dynamics of biomolecules in their natural environment. Molenaar developed a method which makes it possible to follow the movements... view more (2003-06-24)

Wear and tear of stress: the psychoneurobiology of aging
Age may be more related to reactions to stress and the absence of disease rather than to a person's chronological age, say leading researchers in the fields of neurobiology and psychoneuroendocrinology.   view more (2006-08-14)

Osteoarthritis may be sign of faster 'biological ageing'
Osteoarthritis, the degenerative inflammatory bone disease, may be a sign of faster "biological ageing," suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.   view more (2006-10-02)

Researchers find way to make tumor cells easier to destroy
Tumors have a unique vulnerability that can be exploited to make them more sensitive to heat and radiation, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report.   view more (2008-05-07)

UCSF study shows suppression of telomerase enzyme can inhibit spread of melanoma
UCSF researchers have found that the spread of melanoma can be inhibited by suppressing telomerase, the enzyme active in cancer cell growth.   view more (2006-07-11)

Human clones could be ticking time bombs, warns ethics expert
Lausanne, Switzerland: Cloning of adults or children for reproductive reasons should be ruled out completely until researchers have discovered ways of counter-acting the health risks associated with the procedure, an expert on the ethics of cloning said today (Wednesday 4 July). Dr Guido de Wert, a... view more (2001-07-04)

Baumann Lab Defines Proteins that Distinguish Chromosome Ends from DNA Double-Strand Breaks
Peter Baumann, Ph.D., Assistant Investigator, and Nancy Bae, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Baumann Lab, have published a paper offering insight into the way cells protect chromosome ends from misguided repair.   view more (2007-05-11)

Exploring the Dark Matter of the Genome
Not so long ago, the difficult-to-sequence, highly repetitive, gene-poor DNA found in regions of chromosomes known as heterochromatin was called "junk." Like dark matter in the universe, the true nature of heterochromatin was unknown.   view more (2007-06-18)
