RNA Play a Vital Role in Gene Activity

...r of dermatology. "They look just like they should code for proteins, but they don't." Although ncRNAs have been shown to affect the expression of neighboring genes, the relative abundance of the molecules - accounting for about half of the DNA transcribed in the cell - suggests that they may have a wid...

Study to Investigate Gene's Effect on Bone Loss in Breast Cancer Patients

... of how physicians hope to use a patient's genetic code to create personalized treatment. "As more breast cancer patients use these drugs, more may be expected to experience osteoporotic (porous bone) complications," Villareal says. "We are attempting to address this issue to identify those that would ...

Allergy Alert on Undeclared Peanuts in Mayfield Turtle Tracks Ice Cream

Understanding Why C. Difficile Causes Disease -- It's Hungry

...hromosome known as the tcd locus. Two of the genes code for the toxins the bacterium produces that cause disease and a third gene codes for a protein that makes a hole in the organisms cell envelope to let the toxins out. The last two genes are of greatest interest to Sonenshein and his colleague, Bruno D...

Researchers Identify the Gene Mutation That Raises Breast Cancer Risk

...ecifically looked for small changes in the genetic code known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with breast cancer. They found that women who carried one faulty copy of FGFR2 had a 20 per cent elevated risk of breast cancer, while those with two altered versions faced up to a...

Genetic Code That Helps Kill Colon Cancer Cells Identified

...ne to kill the colon cancer cells. The genetic code is called miR-34a, a microRNA which participates in p53's uncanny ability to kill cells that are likely to become malignant because of damaged genes in their nuclei. MicroRNAs are small chains of ribonucleic acid (RNA), which stick to messenger RNA...

Advanced Breast Cancer: Study Reveals White and Black Women Have Different Survival Rates

...e study's senior author. "While SEER data does not code for treatment, we hypothesize that lack of access to healthcare and to newer modalities for treatment of Stage IV breast cancer, such as targeted therapies like Herceptin and aromotase inhibitors, are two contributing factors for the growing disparit...

Over the last decade, Dr. Gregersen and his colleagues have been amassing a genetic database complete with siblings with rheumatoid arthritis (and some family members without it) in an ...

Landmark Study Prompts Rethink of Genetic Code

Scientists Explore ‘muscle’ in a New Drug to Assuage Muscular Dystrophy Symptos

...nabling cells to decipher anomalies in the genetic code pertaining to a specific protein called dystrophin. This protein is absent in 15% of patients suffering Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. In mice, the drug assisted in superseding the mutation in the dystrophin gene, which obstructs the production of the ...

Hot Flashes: Studies Explore the Various Possibilities Involved

...looked at individual differences in the genes that code for various hormones. An earlier study by the same team had found that one of these genetic polymorphisms, in an estrogen metabolizing enzyme, cytochrome P450 1B1, was more common in women who reported higher-than-average frequency, intensity and dur...

Potential Lifesaver Drug Announced

...cell called the ribosome, which translates genetic code into protein, and allowing it to ignore nonsense mutations. The gene can be read straight through and a normal protein is produced. According to the report published in the journal Nature, the drug is already being tried out on 100 humans. At the sa...
