Multiplexed Quantitative Peptide Assays for Protein Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Disease in Human Plasma

As the study of protein biomarkers increases in importance, extensive lists of candidate markers are being developed based on protein pathway information and discovery-based proteomics experiments. Even larger numbers of candidate genomic markers exist from DNA transcriptional profiling based on microarray-based gene expressio...

Th1 and Th2 Balance, Regulation, and Involvement in Disease

Cytokines are the hormonal messengers responsible for most of the biological effects in the immune system, such as cell-mediated immunity and allergic type responses. T lymphocytes are a major source of cytokines. These cells bear antigen-specific receptors on their cell surface to allow recognition of foreign pathogens. There are two main subsets of T lymphocytes, distinguished by th...

Stem cells produce anti-disease protein in brain experiment

A recent phase-one study at UW-Madisons Waisman Center shows a potential new avenue for stem cell-based treatment of Parkinsons and other neurodegenerative disorders. Their treatment could enable brain cells that generate dopamine, which helps the brain control the bodys movement, to recover from the damage caused by disease. The study involved use of a naturally occurring protein in the...

Symposium examines the effect of race on genetics and disease

MADISON Health statistics are often broken down into categories by race. But increasingly, scientists question whether race is a meaningless concept that has no basis in biology or genetics. This was the concern of 40 scientists and ethicists at a symposium titled Race, Genetics & Disease at Grainger Hall April 16 and 17. The University of Wisconsin-Madisons <a href="http://www.sts.wisc...

Lets Use Science to Corral Mad Cow Disease and the Public Stampede

Madison, Wis. During the height of the mad cow scare in Great Britain, the parody newspaper The Onion ran a story headlined English beef approved for Irish consumption. The headline was good for a laugh but it also carried a smidgeon of truth about how choices were made during the 1996 British outbreak. Most decisions on banning imports or changing feed stocks during the British scare...
