Targeting the Adrenal Gland Could Be Key Against Heart Failure

... B. Liggett, M.D., director of the cardiopulmonary genomics program at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, who has written an accompanying editorial. “Despite our best efforts, about half of all heart failure patients die within five years of diagnosis, so clearly something new is needed. These r...

Novel Test Identifies Leukemia Patients Likely to Respond to New Therapy

...t expressed. The researchers used state-of-the-art genomics technology to analyze a panel of diffuse large B cell lymphoma cell lines. They found a set of 485 BCL6-controlled genes and confirmed that all lymphomas with the BCL6 signature are killed by BPI while lymphomas without the signature are resistant t...

Diagnosis Of Sjogren's Syndrome Possible Using Saliva

...thy subjects. Using cutting-edge proteomics and genomics technologies, they searched globally for markers in saliva from SS patients and healthy people, and found that saliva, especially whole saliva (that is, the combined saliva in the mouth, vs. saliva from the individual salivary glands), is informative...

Genetic Variation is Linked to Substantial Risk in Heart Attack

.... The research project was led by the Icelandic genomics company deCODE Genetics, along with U.S. researchers at Emory University School of Medicine, Duke University, and the University of Pennsylvania. Myocardial infarction is the death of heart tissue that results when the blood supply to the heart is...

"Decryption" of Enzyme's Functions Paves Way for Future Drug Discovery

...ructure was determined as a part of the structural genomics project, a large-scale, worldwide effort to determine the structures of enzymes and receptors. As the scientists knew the nature of the substrate, they went on to discover that the enzyme works in a previously uncharacterised metabolic pathway in ...
