Old Mice, Young Blood: Rejuvenating Blood of Mice by Reprogramming Stem Cells That Produce Blood
March 25, 2013 — The blood of young and old people differs. Scientists have now rejuvenated the blood of mice by reversing, or reprogramming, the stem cells that produce ... > full story -
New Clues in Hunt for Heredity in Type 2 Diabetes
March 19, 2013 — Type 2 diabetes has strong hereditary tendencies and the genes we are born with cannot be changed. However, new research shows that we can modify the function of the genes through the epigenetic ... > full story -
New Sensor Developed for Methylated DNA
March 14, 2013 — Researchers have developed a new, single molecule test for detecting methylated DNA. Methylation -- the addition of a methyl group of molecules to a DNA strand -- is one of the ways gene expression ... > full story -
Epigenetics Mechanism May Help Explain Effects of Mom's Nutrition on Her Children's Health
March 11, 2013 — Pioneering studies by a molecular geneticist are helping explain how the foods that soon-to-be-moms eat in the days and weeks around the time of conception -- or what's known as periconceptional ... > full story -
Dual Systems Key to Keeping Chromosomes Intact
March 7, 2013 — Scientists have discovered how two different structural apparatuses collaborate to protect repetitive DNA when it is at its most vulnerable -- while it is being unzipped for ... > full story -
Generations of Cloned Mice With Normal Lifespans Created: 25th Generation and Counting
March 7, 2013 — Using the technique that created Dolly the sheep, researchers have identified a way to produce healthy mouse clones that live a normal lifespan and can be sequentially cloned indefinitely. ... > full story -
Hidden Layer of Genome Unveils How Plants May Adapt to Environments Throughout the World
March 6, 2013 — Scientists have identified patterns of epigenomic diversity that not only allow plants to adapt to various environments, but could also benefit crop production and the study of human ... > full story -
Mechanisms Regulating Inflammation Associated With Type 2 Diabetes, Cancer Identified
March 1, 2013 — A new study has identified epigenetic mechanisms that connect a variety of diseases associated with ... > full story -
Tweaking Gene Expression to Repair Lungs
February 25, 2013 — A healthy lung has some capacity to regenerate itself like the liver. In COPD, these reparative mechanisms fail. HDAC therapies may be useful for COPD, as well as other airway diseases. The levels of ... > full story -
Reprogramming Cells to Fight Diabetes
February 23, 2013 — For years researchers have been searching for a way to treat diabetics by reactivating their insulin-producing beta cells, with limited success. The "reprogramming" of related alpha cells into beta ... > full story
