Mutant gene causes severe kidney disease in infants

..."Because PLCE1 is an enzyme, we have a much better chance of finding ways to modify its activity," Hildebrandt explains. "Using the zebrafish model, we can do high-throughput screening of many possible drug candidates for this form of nephrotic syndrome." Note for parents and physicians: Information o...

Evolution of influenza A virus

...us diversity and evolution is strongly affected by chance events, such as reassortment between strains coinfecting a host or the introduction of a particular variant from elsewhere. These factors make predicting future patterns of influenza virus evolution more difficult, as vaccine strain selection then be...

Studies look at how genes affect antipsychotic drug response

..."Allowing patients with schizophrenia an increased chance at medication response literally could change their lives," Bishop said. "While we know a great deal about the pharmacology of antipsychotics like risperidone, there is still much to learn about their influence on cognition and brain function, as w...

Huang's group was awarded $275,000 for one year with the possibility up to an additional $3 million over three more years if specified milestones are met in the initial experiments. Huang will be joined at the Jac...

Seals protect brain, conserve oxygen by turning off shivering response on icy dives

...in requires less energy and oxygen and reduces the chance of damage caused by hypoxia, Folkow explained. Achieved while remaining active Seals have this physiological adaptation available just in case. This study found the seals can dive to more than 1,000 meters and for more than an hour. However, t...

Poor athletic performance linked to vitamin deficiency

New investigations, particularly in genetic epidemiology, are currently bei...

Abnormal overexpression of p53 is a predictive molecular biomarker

... progression." "Selecting those who have the best chance of responding to p53 tumor suppressor gene therapy also helps perfect clinical trial testing," Licato said. The researchers specifically found, in a subset of patients from phase II clinical trials, that 73 percent of patients with p53-positive tumo...

'Tribbles' protein implicated in common and aggressive form of leukemia

...ren Keeshan, PhD; and colleagues found Tribbles by chance when looking for the molecular partners of another protein called Notch. Notch is a molecular switch of sorts, activating gene transcription in the nucleus of many types of cells, and depending on the biochemical context, turns certain pathways on an...

Wild tigers need cat food

...the bad news is that they are not being given that chance in many parts of their range," said WCS’s noted big-cat researcher Dr. Alan Rabinowitz. Earlier this year, WCS launched a new program called "Tigers Forever" that pledges a 50 percent increase in tiger numbers in key areas over the next decade. ...
