Sampling of Embryonic DNA After IVF Without Biopsy
April 2, 2013 — A new shows that fluid-filled cavity in 5-day old human blastocysts may contain DNA from the embryo, allowing diagnosis of genetic disease without a biopsy. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) ... > full story -
New Promise for an HIV Vaccine as Researchers Overcome Crucial Obstacle
April 2, 2013 — For the first time, researchers were able to stimulate immune cells to produce broadly neutralizing antibodies: a critical step that has eluded researchers for decades but that provides promise for a ... > full story -
Cancer Drugs an Unexpected Ally in the Battle Against Malaria
April 2, 2013 — Scientists tested the efficacy of cancer drugs at killing the malaria parasite during the liver phase with astonishing success. This research paves the way for future studies using cancer drugs that ... > full story -
Cells Culled from Adults May Grow Human Bone
April 2, 2013 — Preparations are underway for the first known human trial to use embryonic-like stem cells collected from adult cells to grow ... > full story -
Newly Identified Tumor Suppressor Provides Therapeutic Target for Prostate Cancer
April 1, 2013 — Researchers have found that the enzyme PKCzeta controls the activation of a pro-tumor gene called c-Myc. Normally, PKCzeta's alteration keeps c-Myc in check. But PKCzeta levels are low in prostate ... > full story -
Researchers First to Use Common Virus to 'Fortify' Adult Stem Cells
April 1, 2013 — Using the same strategy that a common virus employs to evade the human immune system, researchers have modified adult stem cells to increase their survival -- with the goal of giving the cells time ... > full story -
Crucial Step in Human DNA Replication Observed for the First Time
April 1, 2013 — An elusive step in the process of human DNA replication has been observed, for the first time, by scientists. The step, which is crucial for DNA replication in humans and other forms of life, had ... > full story -
'RNA Sponge' Mechanism May Cause ALS/FTD Neurodegeneration
April 1, 2013 — The most common genetic cause of both ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and FTD (frontotemporal dementia) was recently identified as an alteration in the gene C9orf72. But how the mutation causes ... > full story -
New Drug Target Companion Prognostic Test for Hormone Therapy Resistance
April 1, 2013 — A team of international cancer researchers has identified the signalling pathway that is over-activated in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells that are resistant to hormone therapies such ... > full story -
Loss of Tumor Suppressor SPOP Releases Cancer Potential of SRC-3
April 1, 2013 — Mutations in a protein called SPOP disarm it, allowing another protein called steroid receptor coactivator-3 to encourage the proliferation and spread of prostate cancer cells, researchers ... > full story
