D'Souza, W. Kalle, A.W.I. Lo, R.V. Nemade, U. Sattler, F.S. Zollmann http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen - Anti-platelet drug blocks bone metastases in mice Treatment also slows development of other tumors. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg13.html - Lymph Node Swelling Explained Scientists have finally discovered which signals induce swollen glands, in which T cells accumulate in lymph nodes. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg12.html - Researchers Define Molecular Basis of Human "Sweet Tooth" and Umami Taste Zuker's lab has moved closer to understanding why some people cannot resist the impulses brought on by sweets. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg11.html - Avoiding 'Horror Autotoxicus' Scientists show how regulatory T cells instruct other immune cells to avoid immune cell–mediated attack of one’s own tissues, referred to as ‘horror autotoxicus’ over 100 years ago. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg10.html - Mice Inherit Resistance To Malaria Research showing that mice lacking a metabolic enzyme (pyruvate kinase) are protected from their malaria parasite, suggests that, somewhere in the world, variants of the pyruvate kinase enzyme may be protecting people from malaria. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg09.html - Fogarty International Center Announces Awards for Global Health Research Initiative Program for New Foreign Investors New grants to support the re-entry of young NIH-trained foreign investigators from the developing world to their home countries. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg08.html - New Genetic Brain Atlas Researchers are compiling a new atlas of the mouse brain, with the aim to provide a detailed map of the different cell types in the central nervous system, offering new insights for neuroscientists and developmental biologists. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg07.html - Drug Hope For Hepatitis C A new drug, developed to treat those with hepatitis C, greatly reduced viral load in a small sample of infected patients. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg06.html - Researchers create 'supersized' molecule of DNA Scientists have created an expanded molecule of DNA with a double helix wider than any found in nature. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg05.html - Birthing Partners For Stem Cells The research, which highlights the crucial relationship between stem cells and their local habitat, may yield practical methods for manipulating stem cells and provide a model for the impact of local environment on cell physiology. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg04.html - Scientists identify novel enzyme with key role in leukemia protein's normal function Scientists have discovered an enzyme they say accounts for a cancer-causing protein's Jekyll-and-Hyde personality. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg03.html - Chromosome 6 In The Spotlight The final sequence of chromosome 6, containing over 166 million bases, has been analysed -- the largest human chromosome to be analysed and published so far. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg02.html - Study Offers New Insight into Rett Syndrome The study suggests that in Rett patients, mutations in MeCP2 impair its ability to regulate BDNF, and that BDNF’s subsequent over-expression may cause Rett. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/11-2003/msg01.html - New Class Of Antibiotics Stops Pathogens In Their Genetic Tracks Researchers have found that a promising new class of antibacterial chemicals inhibits one of the most fundamental processes of life – a cell's ability to express genetic material. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/10-2003/msg34.html - Identification of Drosophila MicroRNA Targets. A bioinformatic approach suggests many new target genes for Drosophila microRNAs. A number of them are validated experimentally. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/10-2003/msg33.html - Researchers Discover How Nitric Oxide Prevents Blood Vessel Inflammation NO has the power to inhibit endothelial cells lining blood vessels from releasing inflammatory substances. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/10-2003/msg32.html - Gene Controls Age at Onset of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases By applying a new technique that combines independent lines of genomic evidence, researchers have identified a single gene that influences the age at which individuals first show symptoms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/10-2003/msg31.html - Doubt Cast on Adult Stem-Cell Plasticity Studies Researchers have demonstrated that adult bone marrow cells can fuse with other cells in the body. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/10-2003/msg30.html - Contact Genetic News editors news@hum-molgen.org DIAGnostics -
