Leukemia Drug Breakthrough Study In New England Journal Of Medicine

...tute, recently conducted a phase I/II trial of the experimental drug Revlimid showing promise as an innovative way to treat patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a form of pre-leukemia. Given in pill form, Revlimid simultaneously blocks the growth of new blood vessels that nourish tumors (anti-angiogenesi...

Studies reveal methods viruses use to sidestep immune system

... shown promise in treating hepatitis C patients in experimental trials. "We now know that treating patients with a protease inhibitor will prevent the viral protease from cutting up the signaling proteins," Dr. Gale said. "We're currently working to identify exactly what proteins the viral protease is attacking,...

MSI releases 'moleculizer' - a new approach to simulation of intracellular biochemical networks

... the context of MSI's "Alpha Project", anambitious experimental and computational effort to understand thequantitative behavior of a cell signaling pathway in yeast. The AlphaProject is funded by the National Institutes of Health's National HumanGenome Research Institute, which designated MSI as a Center ofExcell...

DNA Recombination and Repair—A New Twist to RecA Function

...drolysis occurs all along its length. Under their experimental conditions, the authors found that a RecA molecule hydrolyzed 20 ATPs per minute—or one ATP every three seconds. If ATP hydrolysis occurred randomly in the fiber, one would expect a RecA molecule to dissociate about once every 1.5 seconds, or 40 RecA...

New studies suggest airborne SARS transmission is possible

... there in March 2003. Their results mark the first experimental confirmation of the presence of the SARS virus in the air of an infected patient's hospital room. The authors cautioned that their results do not document any cases of airborne transmission of the SARS virus from one person to another, only the diss...

The Shapes Of Life: NIGMS Project Yields More Than 1,000 Protein Structures

...rs will benefit from the PSI’s technical advances, experimental data, and availability of new materials, such as reagents. “There are a lot of proteins that are incredibly important to understanding human biology and medicine, yet we know very little about most of them,?said Norvell. “The PSI will provide import...

UCSD discovery may help extend life of natural pesticide

... the flexibility of the roundworm C. elegans as an experimental system, particularly the ease of manipulating it genetically, in making it possible to find and characterize the structure of the long sought-after Bt receptor. However, their results apply to insects as well. Michael Adang and Stephan Garczynski, co...

Bird Brains Show How Trial and Error May Contribute to Learning

...ed by some posturing and feather plumping, and the experimental solo variations, called "undirected," akin to singing in the shower. The brain region showed greater activity and more variable signaling during the undirected song, suggesting that this area is generating the variations of solo song. Finally, they ...
