Scientists Revolutionize Creation of Genetically Altered Mice to Model Human Disease
May 2, 2013 Scientists have efficiently created mouse models with multiple gene mutations in a matter of weeks. Because the method does not require embryonic stem cells, the approach also could allow any animal ... > full story -
Adult Cells Transformed Into Early-Stage Nerve Cells, Bypassing the Pluripotent Stem Cell Stage
May 2, 2013 Scientists have converted skin cells from people and monkeys into a cell that can form a wide variety of nervous-system cells — without passing through the do-it-all stage called the induced ... > full story -
Gene Mutations Associated With Nearsightedness Identified
May 2, 2013 Mutations in a gene that helps regulate copper and oxygen levels in eye tissue are associated with a severe form of nearsightedness, according to a new ... > full story -
3-D Simulation Shows How Form of Complex Organs Evolves by Natural Selection
May 2, 2013 Researchers have developed the first three-dimensional simulation of the evolution of morphology by integrating the mechanisms of genetic regulation that take place during embryo development. The ... > full story -
Investigating Devastating Childhood Diseases Just Got Easier
May 2, 2013 Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPScs) from the skin of patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) show Dravet-like functional impairment when they are converted into neurons, finds new research. This method ... > full story -
New Imaging Technique to Visualize Bio-Metals and Molecules Simultaneously
May 2, 2013 Metal elements and molecules interact in the body but visualizing them together has always been a challenge. Researchers have now developed a new molecular imaging technology that enables them to ... > full story -
Why Some Don't Respond to Rubella Vaccine
May 1, 2013 Using advanced genetic sequencing technology and analysis, vaccine researchers have identified 27 genes that respond in very different ways to the standard rubella vaccine, making the vaccine less ... > full story -
PTSD Research: Distinct Gene Activity Patterns from Childhood Abuse
May 1, 2013 A study of adult civilians with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) has shown that individuals with a history of childhood abuse have distinct, profound changes in gene activity patterns, compared ... > full story -
New Molecule Heralds Hope for Muscular Dystrophy Treatment
May 1, 2013 There's hope for patients with myotonic dystrophy, the most common form of muscular dystrophy in adults. A new small molecule has been shown to break up the protein-RNA clusters that cause the ... > full story -
Genetic Mutation Linked With Typical Form of Migraine Headache
May 1, 2013 Scientists have identified a genetic mutation that is strongly associated with a typical form of ... > full storyMore:
