Glow-in-the-dark zebrafish at UH hold keys to biological clocks

...gory M. Cahill, associate professor of biology and biochemistry at UH, and Maki Kaneko, a fellow UH researcher who is now at the University of California-San Diego, presented their findings in a paper titled "Light-dependent Development of Circadian Gene Expression in Transgenic Zebrafish," appearing Feb. 1 in th...

Molecular models advance the fight against malaria

...istance," said Dr. Bernard Trumpower, professor of biochemistry at Dartmouth Medical School and head of the study. "In addition to confirming the belief that the resistance was due to these mutations, we have created a practical research tool to design new, improved versions of the drug using these resistant stra...

Special Imaging Study Shows Failing Hearts Are 'Energy Starved'

...S) for the first time to examine energy production biochemistry in a beating human heart, Johns Hopkins researchers have found substantial energy deficits in failing hearts. The findings, published in the January 18 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, confirm what many scientists have c...

How an AIDS-Related Cancer Unleashes Inflammation

...e biology of this inflammation, the details of the biochemistry still need to be worked out," he said. While the new knowledge of kaposin B's role will contribute to understanding how the responsible virus produces cytokines, there are likely other mechanisms at work as well, Ganem emphasized. Other viral genes ...

New SARS Protein Linked To Important Cell Doorway

...uthor Daved Fremont, Ph.D., assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biophysics and of pathology and immunology. "Now we can take these viral genetic sequences, which can be attained very rapidly, and get a head start on detailed biophysical investigations of emerging diseases months before we can even b...

BRCA1 causes ovarian cancer through indirect, biochemical route

...ation with Robert Maxson, Keck School professor of biochemistry and molecular biology and director of the mouse core facility at the USC/Norris Cancer Center. "The whole project was based on creating a mouse that lacks BRCA1 in only its granulosa cells," Dubeau says. "This collaboration was essential to the proje...

Inexpensive, mass-produced genes core of synthetic biology advances at UH

...tuart Dryer, chair of thedepartment of biology and biochemistry at UH. “In my own research onneurological diseases, we’ve often wished we could rapidly synthesizemany variations of large naturally occurring genes. The costs ofcurrent technology have prevented us from doing this, but Dr. Gao’sresearch will break d...

Lack of enzyme turns fat cells into fat burners

...aid Dr. SalihWakil, chair of the BCM department of biochemistry and molecularbiology. "We found that the adipose in the mutant mice are nowoxidizing fat, hydrolyzing (breaking down using water) fat, and passingit on to the heart and muscle because there is an increase in oxidationof fat in those organs. It also s...
