Common Genetic Disease Linked to Father's Age
June 7, 2013 — Scientists have unlocked the mystery of why new cases of the genetic disease Noonan syndrome are so common; a mutation that causes the disease disproportionately increases a normal father's ... > full story -
Normal Molecular Pathway Affected in Poor-Prognosis Childhood Leukemia Identified
June 6, 2013 — Through genetic engineering of laboratory models, researchers have uncovered a vulnerability in the way cancer cells diverge from normal regenerating cells that may help treat children with ... > full story -
The Swing of Architect Genes
June 6, 2013 — Architect genes are responsible for organizing structures of the body during embryonic development. Some of them, namely the Hox genes, are involved in the formation of forelimbs. They are activated ... > full story -

How Young Genes Gain a Toehold on Becoming Indispensable
June 6, 2013 — Scientists have, for the first time, mapped a young gene’s short, dramatic evolutionary journey to becoming essential, or indispensable. The researchers detail one gene’s rapid switch to ... > full story -
Alzheimer's, Schizophrenia, Autism Now Have New Research Tool: Mature Brain Cells Derived from Skin Cells
June 6, 2013 — Difficult-to-study diseases such as Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, and autism now can be probed more safely and effectively thanks to an innovative new method for obtaining mature brain cells called ... > full story -
Rewinding Development: A Step Forward for Stem Cell Research
June 6, 2013 — Scientists have discovered that they can make embryonic stem cells regress to a stage of development where they are able to make placenta cells as well as the other fetal cells. This significant ... > full story -
New Liver Cell for Cellular Therapy to Aid in Liver Regeneration
June 6, 2013 — Liver transplantation is the mainstay of treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease, the 12th leading cause of death in the United States, but new research suggests that it may one day ... > full story -
Insights Into a Debilitating Brain Disease
June 6, 2013 — From the neurons that enable thought to the keratinocytes that make toenails grow -- a complex canopy of sugar molecules, commonly known as glycans, envelop every living cell in the human body. These ... > full story -
Molecular Velcro for Chromosome Stability
June 6, 2013 — Scientists have functionally dissected the molecular processes that ensure the stability of chromosomes. They show how three proteins interact on the repetitive sequences at the chromosomal ends (the ... > full story -
Scientists Coax Brain to Regenerate Cells Lost in Huntington's Disease in Mouse Model
June 6, 2013 — Researchers have been able to mobilize the brain's native stem cells to replenish a type of neuron lost in Huntington's disease. The scientists were able to both trigger the production of new neurons ... > full story
