Cancer Research: Yet Another Milestone

...kdown and subsequent cell division.The researchers determined that txr1 promotes taxane resistance by suppressing the known anti-angiogenic and pro-apoptotic factor, thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1). This action is entirely different from mechanisms found earlier to be involved in resistance to taxanes. Furthermore,...

DNA-bound p53 Tumor Suppressor Protein Structure Determined

...earchers at The Wistar Institute have successfully determined the three-dimensional structure of the p53 protein bound as a dimer to DNA and used the structure to produce an accurate model of the p53 tetramer bound to DNA. "The bottom line is that we now have a detailed picture of how p53 binds DNA," says Ron...

Molecular Therapy Holds Promise in the Treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

...set and progression of disease in inherited ALS is determined by the motor neurons and microglia, small immune cells in the spinal cord, which migrate through nerve tissue and remove damaged cells and debris. Damage to motor neurons determines timing of disease onset. Microglia – the neighborhood, or "helper" c...

Sensors placed at home capable of signaling onset of early signs of dementia in elderly

The scientists then determined the number of times the sensors fired each minute during 24-hour blocks of time to create an overall activity level score for each participant. Researchers found "the impaired subjects had more variability in their walking times than the healthy eld...

Second Alagille Syndrome Gene discovered: More information on kidney disease

...h and development." Dr. Spinner's team previously determined that 94 percent of patients diagnosed with Alagille syndrome had mutations in the JAG1 gene. In the current study, they analyzed 11 patients with Alagille syndrome who did not have the JAG1 mutation, and found that two of them had mutations in NOTCH2...
