Cooperation is key—a new way of looking at MicroRNA and how it controls gene expression
A group of scientists at The Scripps Research Institute is reporting a discovery that sheds light on an area of research fundamental to everything from the normal processes that govern the everyday life of human cells to the aberrant mechanisms that underlie many diseases, including cancer and septic shock. The discovery concerns tiny fragments of RNA known as microRNA and their relations...Master gene controls healing of skin in fruit flies and mammals
University of California, San Diego biologists and their colleagues have discovered that the genetic system controlling the development and repair of insect cuticle--the outer layer of the body surface in insects--also controls these processes in mammalian skin, a finding that could lead to new insights into the healing of wounds and treatment of cancer. The UCSD biologists' study, publish...Scientists find that protein controls aging by controlling insulin
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that a protein prolonging life in mice works by controlling insulin. Therapies based on this hormone could prove to be a way to extend life or slow its effects,...MicroRNA tweaks protein that controls early heart development
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered how a small molecule of RNA called microRNA ?a chemical cousin of DNA ?helps fine tune the production of a key protein involved in the early development of heart muscle. The findings, available in the online edition of the journal Nature, may aid scientists in their understanding of how a progenitor cell, or stem cell, decides...Scientists discover gene that controls speed of tuberculosis development
Scientists at the MUHC have discovered a gene that controls the speed at which patients develop tuberculosis--the first time such a gene has been discovered for this disease. The new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) this week provides a new view of the mechanisms underlying the development of tuberculosis and may contribute to public health efforts aime...GeneAmp AccuRT RNA PCR Kit with Controls from Applied Biosystems
Description:A thermostable, thermoactive designer enzyme that enables RT-PCR in a one-step, single-tube-reaction. AccuRT RNA PCR enzyme allows reverse transcription and PCR amplification to be performed at elevated temperatures (65C), which helps to remove secondary structures from the template and results in highly stringent, accurate annealing of gene-specific primers. 100 reactions with controls...Tissue Block Controls from QualTek Molecular Laboratories

In a breakthrough scientists in the US have discovered a hormone that regulates hunger and may help to fully control appetite in the future//. Researchers at Stanford University, California, looked at gene sequences in humans and animals, including one that codes for ghrelin, an appetite-boosting hormone. They found another hormone, 'obestatin', was processed from the same...Golgi Orientation controls Neuron Growth
Michael Ehlers and his colleagues have reported in the Journal Neuron the mechanism by which the Golgi apparatus controls the growth of the dendrite cells that are responsible for the growth and development of neurons//. The dendrite cells are the branches of neurons that are responsible for transmission and collection of signals to the brain from different parts of the body. The Golgi...Brain behind the Brawn: Vital Molecule in the Brain Controls Appetite
Combating obesity is one of the greatest challenges facing researchers today, and recent research holds promise for being a vital breakthrough to contain a growing epidemic.// The World Health Organization has estimated that there are a billion people in the world tackling overweight problems, of them nearly 300 million are obese. Scientists have narrowed their sights on a new molecul...Stronger Quadricep Controls Knee Osteoarthritis
Arthritis is a term that means inflammation of a joint There are many types of arthritis.One of them is Osteo arthritis. Osteoarthritis// is also called 'degenerative joint disease,' or 'wear-and-tear arthritis.'.Quadricep is the muscle which straightens the leg at the knee joint. A stronger quadriceps muscle helps to prevent the deterioration of cartilage at the knee cap among those with...Pair of MicroRNA Molecules Controls Major Oncogene in Most Common Leukemia
Researchers at Ohio State University have discovered that two microRNA (miRNA) molecules help control the oncogene responsible for a dangerous form of B-cell chronic// lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), the most common human leukemia in the world. Their findings, published in the December 15 issue of Cancer Research, demonstrate that miRNAs are emerging as powerful regulators of gene exp...Bartels® C.
