Genome of deadly amoeba shows surprising complexity, evidence of lateral gene transfer

...s Division of Infectious Diseases. He says the DNA typing from the genome sequenced is allowing the development of "new diagnostic tests that help distinguish the most deadly substrains of the parasite." Dr. Alok Bhattacharya, a collaborator at the School of Life Sciences at India's Jawaharlal Nehru Univer...

Long-term changes in experience cause neurons to sprout new long-lasting connections

...ed in mastering skills such as riding a bicycle or typing on a computer. Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator Karel Svoboda and his colleagues reported their findings in the June 22, 2006, issue of the journal Nature. Other co-authors of the paper included Anthony Holtmaat and Linda Wilbrech...

International team analyzes human genetic variation in key immune region

...n genetic variants in the region than standard HLA typing methods. Nearly three-quarters of the DNA samples that the scientists analyzed had been previously examined as part of the International Haplotype Map ("HapMap") Project, a worldwide scientific collaboration to catalogue human genetic variation on...

Researchers create genetically matched embryonic stem cells for transplantation

...d embryonic stem cells. Next, they used genetic typing to identify those embryonic stem cells that shared with the egg donor the genes responsible for tissue matching, called the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). When they injected these selected embryonic stem cells into MHC-matched mice, a variet...

Stem cell therapy shows promise in regenerating damaged muscle in heart attack patients

...s that these stem cells can be used without tissue typing and do not trigger an immune response, and are available for every patient. The mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are found in the adult bone marrow and have the potential to develop into mature heart cells and new blood vessels. The MSC cells are deri...
