Multiple-drug resistant gene expression pattern predicts treatment outcome for pediatric leukemia

...r widely used antileukemic agents. They went on to investigate the relationship of these genes to treatment outcome in ALL patients and found that expression of the genes was associated with treatment outcome and could be used to identify a subset of patients with a markedly inferior response to treatment. In ad...

Basis for DNA ejection from single phage particles

...esearchers used fluorescently labeled phage DNA to investigate in real time (and with a resolution time of 750 milliseconds) the dynamics of DNA ejection from single phages. The ejected DNA was measured at different stages of the ejection process after being stretched by applied hydrodynamic flow. The study demo...

'Smart drug' targets deadly brain cancer

...xt Step Mayo Clinic researchers are continuing to investigate the implications of their findings. NCCTG studies now under way will test the combination of CCI-779 with radiation therapy in patients who have newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme. They will also test CCI-779 in combination with other targeted t...

WHO suspends Marburg work, appeals for new funds

Discussions have been held with provincial authorities to find urgent solutions. The dramatic symptoms of Marburg haemorrhagic fever and its frequent fatality are resulting in a high level of...

Next Generation Body Scanner Launched By The University Of Manchester

...esearch is currently underway at the University to investigate vascular abnormalities to the kidneys in patients with renal disease. The scanner, which has been manufactured by Philips Medical Systems and features a 5.5 tonne magnet, will be launched by Professor Colin Blakemore, Chief Executive of the Medical ...

He and his colleagues have made the data freely available on online public databases. Dr. Robert Strausberg, Vice-President of...

Census of Marine Life explorers surprised by diversity, density of Arctic creatures

... goes on in the Southern Ocean, biologists want to investigate its role as a cradle of genetic diversity. The Antarctic Census will take extensive samples from the deep abyssal plain on the sea floor, 4,500 to 5,500 meters below surface, research that holds huge promise for biologists. Says Dr. Ron O'Dor, Chie...

Random gene expression may drive HIV into hiding

... of stochasticity in gene expression to those that investigate the consequences of such molecular noise on cellular function. The authors [present] a scenario in which HIV-1 can hedge its bets by having an inherent ability to proceed either to latency or viral production. This intriguing notion still needs to be...
