Salk Scientists - Links Between Cancer and Aging

...lls divide, chromosomes randomly break, leading to genome instability.' The current study extended work published in 2004 by Karlseder and first author Laure Crabbe, Ph.D., who was a graduate student in the Karlseder lab at the time. In that work, the team used a technique called FISH-short for fluorescen...

A New Two-gene Test to Discern Similar Gastrointestinal Cancers

...s, Zhang says. The researchers used common whole genome microarrays to measure gene expression in 68 GIST or LMS tumors, but then applied an analytical twist. Rather than identifying multiple genes that might distinguish each type of cancer, the researchers instead analyzed every possible pair of genes, s...

Giant Healthcare Provider to Set Up Massive Gene Bank

... information from the recent decoding of the human genome to elicit how genes and the environment contribute to disease. The U.S. National Institutes of Health last year launched a genes and environment project that could study as many as 1,000 people, and biotechnology company deCODE Genetics has compil...

Genes for Nicotine Dependence Identified

...information. One approach scanned the entire human genome for suspicious areas of DNA while the second approach closely examined specific target genes. "The combination of these two approaches represents the most powerful and extensive study on nicotine dependence to date and is an important step in a lar...

Steroids Cause the Same Tissue Changes as Tendon Injury

...chers used gene array analysis of the complete rat genome to characterize the molecular response of rat rotator cuff tendon tissue to injury, injection of corticosteroids, and the presence of both injury and corticosteroid. Results of the study shows that 2,000 genes were changed by injury; 1,000 genes we...

Genetics may Play Role in Heart Health

...old" on how soon results would come once the human genome was plotted. It takes time and careful research, but Horne, Carlquist and other experts believe the research will one day lead to treatments that give patients specific drugs or devices that will work for them. Genetics can be used to find new drug...

Gene Study Offers Hope of Potent Anti-cancer Drugs

...ons involved in each class of cancer. "The human genome is a vast place and this, our first systematic exploration in cancer, has thrown up many surprises," said Professor Stratton. "We have found a much larger number of mutated driver genes produced by a wider range of forces than we expected. It's impor...

‘Fingerprints’ to Track Common Infections in Childrn

In this study, researchers analyzed gene expression patterns in leukocytes from 29 children at Children’s known to have one of four common infections: flu (influenza A); staph (Staphylococcus aureus); ...

A Novel Treatment for KSHV-infected Lymphomas

The KSHV genome encodes several homologues of cellular proteins, which engage cellular signaling pathways, govern cell proliferation and modulate apoptosis. Majority of the PELs appear to have an intact TP53 gene suggesting that genetic alterations are not selecte...
