New mitochondrial DNA gene chip may be early cancer diagnosis tool

...arkers before further clinical evaluation in other laboratories of the EDRN. The lab found that full mitochondrial genome sequencing using capillary electrophoresis detected mtDNA changes associated with early cancer. In ongoing work, NIST is comparing capillary electrophoresis methods with a newly developed DNA ...

New lead reported in tumor angiogenesis

...otein on the endothelial cells called notch. Other laboratories have shown that notch plays a key role during human development in forming blood vessels. Oddly, Wang noted, the possible role of notch in tumor angiogenesis has not been well studied. After further laboratory and mouse experiments, Wang said the da...

Scientists show that tick-borne flaviviruses use a novel mechanism to evade host defenses

... development, Dr. Fauci notes that two other NIAID laboratories have similar flavivirus studies under way, and the three groups are building on the discoveries of each other. Dr. Bloom says that all flaviviruses have a similar genomic structure, and many scientists thought they would use the same survival mechan...

Logging changed ecological balance for monkeys, damaged health

U-M researchers identify new blood test for prostate cancer

...ine blood draw for patients. Most blood-processing laboratories could easily be equipped to scan for these 22 biomarkers, Chinnaiyan says. Researchers are conducting further studies to validate the findings with a larger, community-based group of patients. ...

Targeting a key enzyme with gene therapy reversed course of Alzheimer's disease in mouse models

...inhibit BACE1, Oded Singer, collaborating with the laboratories of Fred H. Gage at the Salk Institute and lead author Eliezer Masliah at UCSD, resorted to small biological molecules, called short interfering RNA, or siRNA, which derail the process of translating genes into proteins. They work like a dimmer switch...

Learning how SARS spikes its quarry

...se studies, researchers in Harrison's and Farzan's laboratories could concentrate their efforts on creating crystals of the relevant fragments of the spike protein in complex with the ACE2 receptor. After they had crystallized the protein complex, the crystals were then subjected to structural analysis using x-ra...

NHGRI expands effort to revolutionize sequencing technologies

...This project is a collaborative effort between two laboratories that have experience in nanopore research, protein engineering and molecular recognition. The group will engineer a device with the ability to recognize a nucleotide on the basis of changes in electrical current, as it passes through a membrane with ...

New book expands biological classifications to account for 'alien' life

... he said, because "alien" life has been created in laboratories on Earth. That includes microbes with at least one amino acid beyond the 20 in the DNA of native Earth life, or organisms that have been genetically modified, Ward said. It also includes some life forms that have been modified to be much simpler than...

Fighting malaria by manipulating mosquitoes' sense of smell

The most promising of these mixtures will be shipped to Wageningen Univ...

Researchers discover key to human embryonic stem-cell potential

...here to begin with. Researchers in the Whitehead laboratories of Young, Rudolf Jaenisch, MIT-computer scientist David Gifford, and the Harvard lab of Douglas Melton focused on three proteins known to be essential for stem cells. These proteins, Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog, are called "transcription factors," proteins...
