May 2, 2013 Researchers have described alterations in noncoding long chain RNA sequences in Rett ... > full story -
Turning Human Stem Cells Into Brain Cells Sheds Light on Neural Development
May 2, 2013 Medical researchers have manipulated human stem cells into producing types of brain cells known to play important roles in neurodevelopmental disorders such as epilepsy, schizophrenia and autism. The ... > full story -
Stem Cell Discovery Could Aid Research Into New Treatments
May 2, 2013 Scientists have made a fundamental discovery about how the properties of embryonic stem cells are controlled. Researchers have found that a protein, which switches on genes to allow embryonic stem ... > full story -
Genetic Factor Predicts Success of Weight-Loss Surgery
May 2, 2013 A genome-wide association study reveals that the amount of weight loss after gastric bypass surgery can be predicted in part by a DNA sequence variation found on chromosome 15. The findings explain ... > full storyMore: -
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 -
Persistent Pain After Stressful Events May Have a Neurobiological Basis
May 2, 2013 A new study is the first to identify a genetic risk factor for persistent pain after traumatic events such as motor vehicle collision and sexual assault. The study also contributes further evidence ... > 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 -
