Computers to be used to find blueprint for new influenza drug

...a project that could help pharmaceutical companies develop a better drug that could be taken by people coming down with flu to stop the disease developing. The drug would work by being chemically very similar to part of the protective coating around the cells in our throats that the flu virus first attacks ...

Antibiotic Resistant Bacterium Uses Sonar-like Strategy to “See?Enemies or Prey

... Gilmore.“Secondly, this discovery will help us to develop new ways to treatinfections that are resistant to antibiotics, making them less severe.Based on an understanding of how this toxin system works, we hope todevelop toxin inhibitors,?says Gilmore.The third area of interest is currently science fiction,...

Molecular machine may lead to new drugs to combat human diseases

...formation gleaned from this study in an attempt to develop new drugs, Golden said. Introns were unknown until the late 1970s, and scientists are still investigating their function. Crystallization of the complex is one tool to determine their purpose. Two intron structures in different stages of the cycle ...

Novel Therapy Tested in Mice Could Chase Away Cat Allergies

Color-blind method opens new doors in DNA sequencing

...he light into colors." Metzker is also seeking to develop a chip-based imager than could be used in his overall project on sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS), which is funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute. SBS could lead to the ability to sequence an individual's own genome rapidly and inexpens...

Mouse brain tumors mimic those in human genetic disorder

...ctually be diagnostically informative. "Thesemice develop brain tumors with many of the same features as those seenin children with NF1, and studying those tumors has helped usunderstand the cellular events involved in NF1 brain tumordevelopment," says principal investigator David H. Gutmann, M.D.,Ph.D., th...

Essential mangrove forest threatened by cryptic ecological degradation

... of other rivers. Whereas these projects certainly develop the ability to grow crops inland, at the same time such practices drastically affect the coastal zone by introducing an excess of fresh water. The consequences range from adverse shifts in the composition of mangrove tree species to disrupted ethnobi...

Protein Packages Found To Activate Genes; May Be What Regulates Development And Disease

...which apparently work in concert to control how we develop in the womb. Instead of being activated individually like most genes, the HOX genes appear to be turned on in groups by massive numbers of tags. HOX genes also are deeply involved in cancer, making the findings particularly important. Some of the pr...

U-M scientists find genes that control growth of common skin cancer

...particularlyimportant given the current efforts to develop Hh pathway inhibitors asa means of combating human BCCs, as well as other cancers. In contrastto other cancer models where inhibition of Hh signaling leads todurable tumor regression, Dlugosz's new work raises the possibilitythat Hh pathway inhibitio...
