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 -
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 -
Study Identifies Genes, Pathways Altered During Relaxation Response Practice
May 1, 2013 — A new study finds that elicitation of the relaxation response -- a physiologic state of deep rest induced by practices such as meditation, deep breathing and prayer -- produces immediate changes in ... > 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 -
Potential Drug Targets, Markers for Leukemia Risk Identified
May 1, 2013 — Investigators have detailed and broadly classified the genomic alterations that frequently underlie the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a deadly cancer of the blood and bone marrow. ... > full story -
It Slices, It Dices, It Silences: ADAR1 as Gene-Silencing Modular RNA Multitool
May 1, 2013 — RNA, once considered a bit player in the grand scheme by which genes encode protein, is increasingly seen to have a major role in human genetics. Researchers now report how the RNA-editing protein, ... > full story -
Computer Algorithms Help Find Cancer Connections
May 1, 2013 — Using powerful algorithms developed by computer scientists, medical researchers have assembled the most complete genetic profile yet of acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive form of blood ... > full storyMore:
