Elucidation of the genome for diabetics with DNA chips

... France in March 2007, through the CNRS genotyping platform at Lille, largely funded by the Nord-pas-de-Calais Regional Council. These advances should make it possible to unravel genetic predisposition to vascular complications of diabetes and to solve the mysteries shrouding childhood obesity and certain can...

Mutation improves memory, may lead to memory-enhancing pill

...f training, the altered mice were able to find the platform significantly faster than normal mice could, they reported. "For example, if a person were reading a page of a textbook, it might take several times to memorize it," Costa-Mattioli said. "A human equivalent of these mice would get the information ...

Sandia researchers take new approach to studying how cells respond to pathogens

...urface of the cells. The team is developing one platform with two complementary microfluidic modules -- one... and combining them into one compact, miniaturized platform using our unique microfluidic and imaging tools," Singh says. Hyperspectral fluorescence imaging ...

Scientists identify prion's infectious secret

...en used to study protein folding. We’ve taken this platform to a whole new level. Also, we’ve seen just one small part of this prion inducing proteins to fold. This is an entirely new concept." Earlier research from the Lindquist lab, published in Nature in 2005, identified the amino acid regions where p...

Statin treatment improves spatial memory in mouse models of Alzheimer's

...’s mice that received statin were able to find the platform while none of the transgenic mice receiving only s...ovement in the time they usually take to reach the platform compared to normal mice on saline. After the maze test, brain tissue then was studied to determine l...

Gene therapy study shows safety and statistically significant improvement in Parkinson's disease

...o Parkinson’s disease therapy, but also provides a platform to translate a variety of new gene therapy agents into human clinical trials for many devastating brain disorders,” said Paul Greengard, PhD, chairman of the Neurologix Scientific Advisory Board and recipient of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Physiology or...

Research finds that circadian rhythms dominate all life functions

...ousekeeping," have been used as a stable reference platform in gene expression studies. "Anyone who diets, for example, knows you shouldn't eat late, and now we are getting closer to understanding why exactly," said Ptitsyn, a researcher in the Bioinformatics Center at the College of Veterinary Medicine ...
