Multi-species genome comparison sheds new light on evolutionary processes, cancer mutations

An international team that includes researchers from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has discovered that mammalian chromosomes have evolved by breaking at specific sites rather than randomly as long thought ?and that many of the breakage hotspots are also involved in human cancer. In a study published in the July 22 iss...

Insight into the processes of 'positive' and 'negative' learners

A breakthrough in human stem cell research, producing embryonic-like cells from umbilical cord blood may substantially speed up the development of treatments for life-threatening illnesses, injuries and disabilities. The discovery made during a project undertaken with experts from the University of Texas Medical Branch and the Synthecon Corporation in the United States provides medical researcher...

NYU biologists identify gene that coordinates two cellular processes

A team of biologists at New York University's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics has uncovered a dual role for the gene mel-28. The gene plays a part in ensuring that chromosomes are divided properly during cell division and it is required for nuclear envelope function. The findings appear in the journal Current Biology. The team is using functional genomic tools to study the...

Fruit fly gene research may shed light on human disease processes

Those small fruit flies buzzing around your bananas are more than pests—they may be allies in a fruitful search for clues to human diseases caused when genes malfunction. "One common misconception is that individual humans may carry 'disease-causing' genes, such as a gene for cancer," explains James Erickson, a biology professor at Texas A&M University. "All humans have the same genes...

Scientists uncover link between ocean's chemical processes and microscopic floating plants

Scientists have discovered that increased levels of ocean acidity and carbon dioxide concentrations have resulted in unexpected changes in oceanic chemical processes. Their research results are published in the March 7, 2007, issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Oliver Wingenter of New Mexico Tech and his colleagues conducted a month-long field experiment. The researchers sim...

Asthma aggravated by thought processes

The mere mention of a stressful word like "wheeze" can activate two brain regions in asthmatics during an attack, and this brain activity may be associated with more severe asthma symptoms, according to a new study by researchers. // The study reveals a functional link between emotion processing centers in the brain and certain physiological processes relevant to disease. Previous studi...

Mice With Human Thought Processes Could Be Developed In The Future

The most popular movie ‘Stuart Little’ may no longer be a representation of wild imagination alone. It has been proved from experiments// that it is technically possible to genetically engineer such mice with the currently available scientific techniques. It has now been found that human embryonic stem cells claimed to have innumerable health benefits can be made functional inside a...
