One gene links newborn neurons with those that die in diseases such as Alzheimer's

...rain, and in fact, the UCHL1 protein is thought to make up as much as 2 percent of total soluble brain protein. But in the zebra finch brains, nonreplaceable neurons produced, on average, about two and a half times the amount of UCHL1 as replaceable neurons. In addition, studies from other laboratories h...

Study reveals dramatic difference between breast cancers in US and Africa

...mors are biologically quite different in ways that make this a worse disease." "The discovery means we have to rethink how soon and how often we screen for breast cancer in women at risk for the most aggressive type of breast cancer, as well as how we prevent it and how we treat it," she added. "The guid...

Building a human kinase gene repository

...ed with a number of pathological conditions, which make kinases key targets in drug discovery efforts, primarily in oncology. This collection is unique because clones in the collection represent protein kinases as well as non-protein kinases, are fully sequenced verified, full-length, and can be sub-clon...

In two different studies being presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer...

Confocal imaging promises early detection of skin cancer

...Though the project has ended, the partners want to make a smaller version of their prototype system. “We hope to develop a partnership for this with our Regensburg partner,?says Dr Sheblee. He notes that confocal imaging has great potential for detecting skin cancers and expects significant take-up of the...

Study uncovers bacteria's worst enemy

... The results of a recent Laboratory study may help make bacterial bioremediation a more widespread method for cleaning up sites contaminated with actinides and other radionuclides. In research published in the journal Environmental Microbiology, Laboratory chemist Mary Neu and her colleagues describe the...

Secret of smallpox's success may lead to bioterror cure

...ting this. "What this gene in pox viruses does is make a protein that binds up all the double-stranded RNA like a little sponge, and this is how the viruses hide infection from your cells," he explained. "Take the gene out and now we have a vaccinia virus that can no longer hide itself ?it can't camoufla...

...Y2 proteins stabilize the mRNAs, which are used to make new proteins. Many of these proteins are critical for the production of normal sperm and also are unique to germ cells. "When trying to develop a new contraceptive, it's hard because we need to identify a target that's specific to the germ cells," s...
