Gene Mutation Cuts Colon Polyps, May Suppress Cancer
March 21, 2007 — Scientists have found a gene mutation that can dramatically reduce the number of colon polyps that develop, potentially cutting the risk of cancer. Researchers studying mice prone to develop polyps ... > full story -
Gene Therapy For Blindness Clears Hurdle In Mice
March 14, 2007 — University of Florida researchers have used an experimental therapy in mice to shut down a gene that plays a crucial role in a leading cause of inherited blindness. The technique, detailed in an ... > full story -
Individuals And Populations Differ In Gene Activity Levels, Not Just Genes
March 2, 2007 — Much like how a person's genetic code differs from other individuals, the level at which those genes are activated in the body differs from one person to another, scientists have learned. And though ... > full story -
RNAi Shows Promise In Gene Therapy, Researcher Says
February 20, 2007 — Three years ago Mark Kay, MD, PhD, published the first results showing that a biological phenomenon called RNA interference could be an effective gene therapy technique. Since then he has used RNAi ... > full story -
Estrogen Gene Affects Risk Of Breast Cancer, But Not CVD
February 20, 2007 — A large Danish study rebuts the accepted idea that differences in an estrogen gene (ESR1) affect the risk of heart attack and stroke in response to hormone replacement therapy. However, the study -- ... > full story -
Study Reveals Value Of Schizophrenia-Related Gene Variation
February 13, 2007 — University of Iowa researchers have learned more about a genetic variation that is a small risk factor for a mild form of schizophrenia yet also is associated with improved overall ... > full story -
Human Proteins Evolving Slowly Thanks To Multitasking Genes
February 6, 2007 — Many human proteins are not as good as they might be because the gene sequences that code for them have a double role which slows down the rate at which they evolve, according to new research ... > full story -
The More Mutations, The Worse The Disease In Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism
January 18, 2007 — Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is an inherited genetic disorder that results in impaired sexual development due to a deficiency in a sex hormone known as GnRH. Although individuals ... > full story -
Dual Gene Therapy Suppresses Lung Cancer In Preclinical Test
January 15, 2007 — Combination gene therapy delivered in lipid-based nanoparticles drastically reduces the number and size of human non-small cell lung cancer tumors in mice, researchers at The University of Texas M. ... > full story -
Pioneers In Field Of Functional Genomics Work Toward Gene Therapy For Vision Defects
December 11, 2006 — For millennia anglers have wondered how fish see colors, and the rainbow of lures in every bait shop reveal that we're still guessing. But, in fish, reptiles and birds, that's all we can do for now, ... > full story
