Genomes of Two Ant Species Sequenced: Clues to Their Extraordinary Social Behavior
August 26, 2010 — Scientists have finally sequenced the entire genome of an ant, actually two very different species of ant, and the insights gleaned from their genetic blueprints are already yielding tantalizing ... > full story -
Swimming Upstream: Molecular Approaches to Better Understand Male Infertility
August 17, 2010 — Male infertility is a common medical problem, affecting millions of men in the United States annually. Its causes include an inability to make productive sperm. Now, using yeast as a model organism, ... > full story -
Scientists Map Epigenetic Changes During Blood Cell Differentiation; Potential Application for Stem Cell Therapies
August 16, 2010 — Having charted the occurrence of a common chemical change that takes place while stem cells decide their fates and progress from precursor to progeny, scientists have produced the first-ever ... > full story -
Common Orchid Gives Scientists Hope in Face of Climate Change
August 10, 2010 — A study that focuses on epigenetics in European common marsh orchids has revealed that some plants may be able to adapt more quickly to environmental change than previously thought. The research ... > full story -
Diet and Alcohol Alter Epigenetics of Breast Cancer, Study Suggests
July 30, 2010 — Researchers have shown that the epigenetic profiles of breast tumors are related to patient diet and alcohol use as well as tumor ... > full story -
Stem Cells Made by Reprogramming Hold Onto Their Past
July 19, 2010 — Adult cells that have been reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) do not completely let go of their past, perhaps limiting their ability to function as a less controversial ... > full story -
New Role for Master Regulator in Cell Metabolism, Response to Stress: Clinical Implications for Obesity, Diabetes and Cancer Research
July 15, 2010 — Biologists have been studying how AMPK works for several decades and know that once it is activated, AMPK turns on a large number of genes by passing the "make more energy" message through numerous ... > full story -
Wood Smoke Exposure Multiplies Damage from Smoking, Increases Risk of COPD
July 15, 2010 — Smokers who are exposed to wood smoke, either through home heating and cooking or through ambient neighborhood pollution, are not only at increased risk of COPD, but are also more likely to have ... > full story -
New Epigenetic Player Implicated in Mental Retardation and Facial Birth Defects
July 12, 2010 — A subtle mutation affecting the epigenome --- a set of dynamic factors that influence gene activity -- may lead to an inherited form of mental retardation that affects boys, researchers have found ... > full story -
Scientists Reprogram Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells to Respond to Tamoxifen
July 8, 2010 — Using a small molecule decoy, scientists have induced epigenetic reprogramming in human and mouse breast cancer cells, reducing the growth of triple-negative breast cancer cells by 80 ... > full story
