UW-Madison scientists zero in on drugs' sweet spots

... they are very important. This method allows us to rapidly scan the roles of these sugars in complex natural products." The simplification of the process to manipulate natural sugars could help make natural products more appealing to the pharmaceutical industry. Despite the fact that 60-75 percent of drugs ...

DDT-resistant insects have additional genetic advantage that helps resistance spread

...ected in India in 1959, and they have increased so rapidly that when a local spray program is begun now, most mosquitoes become resistant in a matter of months rather than years. Worryingly, some resistant strains also show 'cross-resistance' to a number of different compounds, so spraying with one insectic...

Immune system has evolved to prevent autoimmune disease

...he particular antibodies that are effective, as it rapidly creates and mass produces mutant white blood cells called B cells that make only these antibodies." Deem said prior research has identified a number of alternate strategies the immune system could use to reduce the time needed to create an effective...

Researcher at UGA College of Veterinary Medicine identifies new way of combating viral diseases

... to disable them, Hodge explained. They can mutate rapidly and develop resistance to almost any antiviral com...ally decreasing the ability of the virus to spread rapidly and produce infection," Hodge said. Because these viruses depend heavily on this exit pathway, they...

UNC scientists discover new role for protein as fundamental inhibitor of cell movement

...also is one of the hallmarks of highly aggressive, rapidly spreading cancer tumors. The study appears in the August issue of The Journal of Cell Biology. The study indicates that CIB1 inhibits cell migration by binding to and activating a protein called PAK1, or p21-activated kinase, in cancer cells. When ...

Drug resistant avian influenza viruses more common in Southeast Asia than North America

...to the antiviral drug amantadine is spreading more rapidly among avian influenza viruses of H5N1 subtype in S...ve strains. In addition, the infected birds die so rapidly there is no time for the virus to acquire a large number of mutations, among which could be changes ...

Prescription pain patch abuse blamed for increase in deaths

...hat it wasn't designed to be used for, then it can rapidly result in death," said the study's lead researcher, Bruce Goldberger, Ph.D., director of toxicology and an associate professor in the departments of pathology, immunology and laboratory medicine and psychiatry in UF's College of Medicine. Patients w...

U-M scientists discover identifying markers for primitive blood-forming stem cells

...very will be valuable to scientists working in the rapidly advancing field of stem cell science. Currently, scientists must search for many different markers and use complex procedures to separate rare hematopoietic stem cells, or HSCs, from other cells in a blood sample. Using SLAM markers will streamline t...

Human brain is still evolving

...lower later on. By contrast, ASPM has evolved most rapidly in the last six million years of hominid evolution, after the divergence of humans and chimpanzees." In order to identify sequence changes that occurred in Microcephalin and ASPM in the evolutionary lineage leading to humans, Lahn and his colleagues...

'License to kill' enables powerful immune attack cells in mice

...y refer to them as natural killer cells. The cells rapidly attack invaders and are continually generated in the bone marrow, leading to replacement of the entire population approximately once a week. Scientists led by Wayne M. Yokoyama, M.D., the Sam J. Levin and Audrey Loew Levin Professor of Research in A...

Emerald Spectre haunts Ontario's ash forests

...native of southeast Asia, the insect is capable of rapidly spreading with a little human help. Adult beetles lay eggs under tree bark and the feeding larvae kill trees by disrupting the flow of nutrients in the soft tissues under the bark. The new study funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Researc...

Prions rapidly 'remodel' good protein into bad, Brown study shows

Studies on human genome variation provide insight into disease

... 'twins.' "Research in human genetic variation is rapidly moving towards realizing our aims of improving diagnosis of common diseases such as diabetes and heart disease," says Cardon, "but the genome is tricky; it won't reveal its secrets easily. The real disease-causing culprits can have many silent partn...

More than 12 million patients are prescribed so-called "blood thinners" each year to prevent the formation of clots, which can block blood vessels, ca...

Customized gene chip provides rapid detection of genetic changes in children's cancer

...searchers have developed a customized gene chip to rapidly scan tumor samples for specific DNA changes that offer clues to prognosis in cases of neuroblastoma, a common form of children's cancer. Rather than covering the entire genome, the microarray focuses on suspect regions of chromosomes for signs of del...

A bug's life: Exceptional genomic stability yet rapid protein evolution in a carpenter ant mutualist

...ven that bacteria are particularly noted for their rapidly evolving genomes characterized by extensive recombination, gene transfer, inversion, and translocation. In comparison, the genomes of E. coli and Salmonella, which diverged between 100-150 million years ago, have undergone extensive changes in their ...
