Ume'å scientist presents discoveries about natural immunity in Science
A team including scientists at UCMP (Ume'å Center for Molecular Pathogenesis), a research unit at Ume'å University, shows in last week's issue of the journal Science that the protein PGRP-LC plays a crucial role in so-called innate immunity. Professor Dan Hultmark, post-doctoral fellow Svenja Stöven, and doctoral candidate Thomas... view more... (2002-03-04)

GEN reports on enhancing the applications of qPCR
Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology is experiencing a surge of interest and rapid expansion as a result of advances such as instrumentation that pushes capacity to 1,536 wells and optimization-free multiplexing.   view more (2009-11-19)

The evolution of gene regulation
Even microbes are governed by the principle of supply and demand - at least at the genetic level. Not all of their gene products, the blueprints for proteins, are required at all times.   view more (2009-05-26)

Human RecQ helicases, homologous recombination and genomic instability
Two independent papers in the December 1st issue of G&D detail how human RecQ helicases regulate homologous recombination and protect genome stability.   view more (2007-11-15)

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)

A crucial role for TGFbeta signaling in congenital eye disorders
The lens in the developing eye acts as a TGFbeta signaling center that controls differentiation, survival and formation of multiple eye structures deriving from the neural crest.   view more (2005-12-14)
