A Novel Technique That Detects "Cancer Genes" From The Breath Of Smokers

...terns of gene methylation will themselves actually map the origin of this DNA to particular regions of the airway," Spivack said. "Our goal is early detection of lung cancer and risk stratification," he said. "If all we can do is confirm that a smoker is smoking, or that a lung cancer patient has cance...

Scinetists Alert to Onset of Pandemic through Bird flu Mutations to Humans

He writes about planners who map the areas where vaccinations must be provided, health workers who identify where children are being paralyzed, and laboratories that confirm where the polio virus is circulating. He uncovers the process wherein political leaders are engaged, or not, ...

Genetic Variation: We're More Different than We Thought

...ed in the HapMap collection and previously used to map the single nucleotide changes in the human genome. Scherer's team mapped the number of duplicated or deleted genes, which they call copy number variations (CNVs). They reported their findings in the November 23, 2006, issue of the journal Nature. ...

Montreal Researchers And US Develop Model Of Key Immune-System Component

...of the phagosome. They then constructed a detailed map of the interactions among these proteins and were able to identify previously unknown regulators of phagocytosis and potential molecular pathways of immune defense. "Phagocytosis is very similar in many organisms, so we are able to learn about this...

Molecular Anatomy of Influenza Virus Detailed

This breakthrough has the potential to identify particular features of highly virulent strains, and to provide insight into how antibodies inactivate the virus, and how viruses recognize susceptible cell...

Researchers Looking for Genes That Control the Brain

Scientists feel a link explored between genes and oxygen level could definitely help in case of hypoxia. Patients lying in an ICU ward usually experience hypoxia or low oxygen levels that ca...

Understanding Autoimmune Disease

...f the genes that Foxp3 targets provides an initial map of the circuitry of these cells, which is important for understanding how they control a healthy immune response. "Autoimmune diseases take a tremendous toll on human health, but on a strictly molecular level, autoimmunity is a black box," says You...

Potential for Adult Stem Cells to Repair Hearts Damaged Investigated

...then uses a catheter-based, non-surgical system to map the patient’s heart three-dimensionally to identify the damaged areas into which the stem cells would be injected. "This targeted approach increases the treatment's effectiveness by delivering the stem cells exactly where they are needed." Schaer use...

The team used samples from six subjects in the Iowa Adoption Studies and nine controls to perform the initial profiling. They then used data from 94 adoption study subject...

UCI Scientists Reconstruct Migration of Avian Flu Virus

...es at UCI and co-author of the study. "With a road map of where the strain has migrated, you're more likely to isolate the strain that you should be using to make the vaccine." The study appears this week in the online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This researc...
