Cells re-energize to come back from the brink of death

... “The GAPDH response appears to represent a basic, reproducible event. But in order to verify that hypothesis, we’ll need to study it in the body, especially as we try to develop ways to force cancer cells without caspase to undergo CICD,” Green said. “Our goal is to find better ways to treat these diseases.”...

"They also suggest that...

Gene expression patterns predict rapid decline in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients

... part, the difficulty in obtaining significant and reproducible results in studies of therapeutic interventions in patients with IPF, noted first author Moisés Selman, M.D., director of research at the National Institute of Respiratory Research in Mexico City. "This study suggests that physicians should pay more ...

Scientists clone mice from adult skin stem cells

...there are no reports on using adult stem cells for reproducible cloning of mice that survive until adulthood. By using cells from the same mouse and performing the experiments on the two successive days, the Rockefeller scientists could directly compare adult stem cells with other cell types. Nuclear transfer...

Insomnia drug can improve brain function

...ffect was due to zolpidem. "This phenomenon was so reproducible that caregivers used to give her up to three tablets each day without sleepiness as 'side effect,'" the authors state. The researchers systematically assessed the effect of zolpidem on motor and cognitive function and explored its effect on brain...

Intensive statin therapy may partially reverse plaque build-up in arteries

...brand name Crestor®). IVUS provides a precise and reproducible method for determining the change in plaque, or atheroma, burden during treatment. Atherosclerosis progression was assessed at baseline and after at 24 months of treatment. "Previous similar studies with statins have shown slowing of coronary disea...

Langerhans cells regulate immune reactions in the skin

...e response to contact hypersensitivity, we found a reproducible and significant increase," said first author Kaplan, assistant professor in the Department of Dermatology at Yale School of Medicine. "Langerhans cells are thus not required to generate immune responses in the skin and more profoundly, they actually ...

Prenatal exposure to marine toxin causes lasting damage

... the effects of a range of doses have found highly reproducible behavioral consequences of sublethal doses of the marine toxin, including impairments to spatial memory. To explore the toxin's effects during development, the Duke team administered domoic acid to pregnant rats at three levels -- each below those ...

Solexa and collaborating scientists illuminate the small RNA component of the transcriptome

...gy has the advantage of producing highly accurate, reproducible and quantitative readouts of the full complement of activated genes and small RNAs, including genes expressed at low levels, without requiring advance knowledge of the genes or sequences of interest. Solexa performed this research in its Genomic Serv...
