Individuals and populations differ in gene activity levels, not just genes

...the genes themselves, and computer software, which tells the computer what to do on the hardware," explained Storey. "We looked at what's happening inside the body, beyond what's hard-wired into the genes." Scientists have known for many years about genetic variation, in which individual letters in the...

'Short-circuit' found in ocean circulation

...piece of knowledge that will help us do that. This tells us how an important part of it works? The research shows that a combination of rapid mixing across and rapid movement along density surfaces creates a 'short-circuit' in the overturning circulation, meaning it is more concentrated in this part of ...

Technique monitors thousands of molecules simultaneously

...e nature and shape of molecules that serve as keys tells about the binding requirements of the receptor. Traditionally, probing a receptor this way has been done by making a library of molecules, treating it with the receptor, washing away any excess receptor that has not found a key, and then treating the...

Adult stem cells from human cord umbilical cord blood successfully engineered to make insulin

...ineered" to synthesize insulin. "This discovery tells us that we have the potential to produce insulin from adult stem cells to help people with diabetes," said Dr. Randall J. Urban, senior author of the paper, professor and chair of internal medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galvest...

Penn researchers link cell's protein recycling systems

... the impaired proteasome function, which in itself tells us that the two pathways intersect,” says Taylor. “The question was, ‘How is this working"’” The Role of HDAC6 “That’s where the power of fruit flies comes in,” Taylor explains. “We can use fruit flies to rapidly screen through many genes to find ...

Undergraduate research shows leaderless honeybee organizing

...rs give the queen a signal, known as “piping” that tells her to fly. “Researchers have never reported worker piping being done on the queen before, so some of what we found was exciting,” Pierce said. “It was generally surprising to see the level of interaction that the older bees have with the queen. T...

U-M researchers discover gene switched off in cancer can be turned on

... are not the perfect answer, but in principle this tells us we can turn our gene back on. If we can turn the gene back on, it may not be a cure for cancer, but it could slow it down or make it responsive to existing drugs,” Reisman says. The researchers targeted lung cancer cell lines in particular, alt...

'Lucky 13' as new gene discovery offers further hope for childhood blindness

...re," says Mr Noble. "Nevertheless, this new result tells us something very important about what the eye is doing normally and about a new and common way in which it can go wrong. Given some exciting recent developments on testing possible cures for inherited blindness, its becoming very important for every...
