Female sex hormones play a vital role in defense against sexually transmitted diseases

...old true for women, they could suggest vaccination protocols under combination hormone therapy to get the best benefit from the vaccine. Work in this area is important because one in every four sexually active adults is seropositive for HSV-2 and women are much more susceptible than men. "The results directl...

Study of genomic DNA leads to new advances in cancer diagnostics

...to study drug-resistance mechanisms to develop new protocols and methods to treat cancer. Ultimately, the cellular changes that occur during cancer formation affect how the cell interacts with its microenvironment (ECM) and direct changes to the cytoskeleton and finally to the chromatin. Such changes can now ...

Study: 'homemade' gene expression technology unreliable

...a commercial microarray was used with standardized protocols for labeling the RNA, processing the microarrays, acquiring data and other elements. "The bottom line is that if you use commercial platforms, you get very good interlaboratory consistency and correlation of data," Spencer said. "We've now entered a...

wFleaBase: the Daphnia genome database

...genetic, molecular and functional genomic data and protocols for an emerging model organism, the microcrustacean Daphnia. Commonly known as the water-flea, Daphnia's ecological merit is unequaled among metazoans, largely because of its sentinel role within freshwater ecosystems and over 200 years of biological...

Earth Rx: A microbial biotechnology prescription for global environmental health

...dvanced into high-throughput genomic and proteomic protocols that can detect specific genes and their metabolic functions with great precision and detail. Other methods can now reconstruct entire genomes of what were once "unculturable" microbes. Rittmann refers to this early period as a "profitable stamp c...

Tests may help answer questions about GMOs and allergies

... big reason for opposition to such crops. Although protocols are in place to ask questions about the allergy-causing possibilities, there has been no test that offers definitive answers. But all of that could change as a Michigan State University researcher has developed the first animal model to test whether...
