New Tools To Identify Flu Strains

...ous flu strains across the globe. The process for identifying the flu type is similar to genetic fingerprinting used in DNA identification. First, the influenza RNA is converted to DNA, using the same biological processes that the HIV virus uses to convert RNA to DNA to replicate itself and elude the immune sys...

Children's Waistlines A Predictor Of Future Heart Disease

...of children's tummies may offer a simple method of identifying whether they are in danger of heart// disease and diabetes at a later age.Among adults, fat around the waist is a warning sign of heart and artery disease. Some studies suggest that it is a better indicator of risk than body mass index, a measurement...

Fat Cell Protein Hits Type-2 Diabetes

...on. "The future of this biological discovery is in identifying either the receptor for the protein, in other words how it is working in the liver, and then creating a smaller molecule that will mimic the effect of Acrp30 or perhaps finding a way to stimulate the secretion of Acrp30 within the fat cell," Rosevelt...

Innovative yeast genome may handle Cancer Clues

New Technique To Detect Activity Of Drugs In The Body

...e, which is why the drug works in both cases.After identifying the positive impact on prostate cancer cells, researchers screened breast and colon cancer cells and found they, too, were affected by the enzyme, suggesting growth of more types of cancer may be stopped by orlistat. But the biggest news may be the...

Predicting Breast Cancer Recurrence By Understanding Gene Signature

... recurrence beyond five years. Since some studies identifying gene signatures for breast cancer recurrence do not identify the same groups of genes when compared, researchers say it becomes difficult to determine which gene signature test to trust. Thus in conclusion researchers say if further studies are done ...
