D'Souza, W. Kalle, A.W.I. Lo, R.V. Nemade, U. Sattler, F.S. Zollmann http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen - The role of cancer-causing mutations in BRCA1 Two structural studies reveal how such mutations can affect the function of BRCA1, leading to cancer. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/05-2004/msg07.html - Insulin factories produced by self replication Insulin-producing beta-cells can proliferate by making more of themselves, according to a study, which counters the prevailing hypothesis on beta-cell production, and may aid the development of new treatments for type I diabetes. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/05-2004/msg06.html - Genetic trigger for heart attack A single base mutation in a key gene may affect an individual's susceptibility to heart attack. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/05-2004/msg05.html - DNA computers could control gene expression Researchers have made a tiny molecular-scale computer that can analyse biological information in a test tube and respond appropriately. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/05-2004/msg04.html - Tracking cancer treatments A new way of studying the action of a breast-cancer drug in the body promises to facilitate the design of molecular-targeted therapies. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/05-2004/msg03.html - Enhancing incorporation of stem cells Research shows that bone marrow stem cells from mice, missing a gene known to inhibit cell division, can overcome the hurdle of inducing efficient repopulation of target tissues by stem cells. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/05-2004/msg02.html - New insights into male infertility A protein important for defence against pathogens may also be required for sperm maturation, suggesting a possible common basis for some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and infertility. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/05-2004/msg01.html - Raising The Dead Resurrecting ancient genes is now allowing scientists to peer into the genetic causes of primeval evolutionary processes. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/04-2004/msg25.html - Should Healthy People Take Mind-Boosting Drugs? Is it safe, fair and morally acceptable to use drugs originally created for mental dysfunctions to improve the minds of normal, healthy people? The time to answer these social and ethical questions is now, says a group of leading neuroscientists. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/04-2004/msg24.html - Understanding HIV Drug Resistance A study reports two related structures of reverse transcriptase (RT) with bound tenofovir. The results explain the unusually low resistance of HIV to tenofovir. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/04-2004/msg23.html - Contact Genetic News editors news@hum-molgen.org DIAGnostics - Clinical Research (professional requests) http://hum-molgen.org/clinical-research/ - Post diagnostic request / call for collaboration http://hum-molgen.org/diagnostic-posting or contact hum-molgen@nic.surfnet.nl Biomedical Positions http://hum-molgen.org/positions/ - Biochemistry / Immunology: Sales Scientist - Northeast USA Work Wonders Staffing, LLC, Cave Creek, AZ http://hum-molgen.org/positions/non_academic_positions/1377.html - Biotechnology: Sales and Marketing Manager Hess Associates Search Consultants, Toronto, ON M3B 3K4 http://hum-molgen.org/positions/non_academic_positions/1378.html - Biotechnology: Ph.D. position in Recombinant Protein Production in E. coli University of Limerick, Ireland, Limerick, IRELAND http://hum-molgen.org/positions/predoctoral/0483.html - Biotechnology: Post-doctoral Fellow in Recombinant Protein Production in E. coli University of Limerick, Ireland, Limerick, IRELAND http://hum-molgen.org/positions/postdocs/2412.html - Biotechnology: Sr. Scientist Subject Matter Expert Abbott Labs, Abbott Park, Il 60064 http://hum-molgen.org/positions/postdocs/2417.html - Cardiovascular Research: PhD student position Experimental Pediatric Cardiology, German Heart Center Munich, D-80636 Munich http://hum-molgen.org/positions/predoctoral/0484.html - Genetics: POST-DOCTORAL FELLOW University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Los Angeles CA 90095-1761 http://hum-molgen.org/positions/postdocs/2415.html - Medical Research (others): Data Review Chemist Randstad, WESTBOROUGH, 01580 http://hum-molgen.org/positions/non_academic_positions/1373.html - Medical Research (others): Director/Senior Director, Drug Delivery-GloboMax ICON Clinical Research, Inc., HANOVER, 21076, USA http://hum-molgen.org/positions/non_academic_positions/1376.html - Microbiology / Virology: Microbiologist Randstad, WESTBOROUGH, 01580 http://hum-molgen.org/positions/non_academic_positions/1372.html - Neurology / Neuroscience: Post-Doctoral Fellow University of Mainz, Mainz, 55128 http://hum-molgen.org/positions/postdocs/2416.html - Neurology / Neuroscience: Scientist Metabolism Research and Development, Cave Creek, AZ http://hum-molgen.org/positions/postdocs/2411.html - Neurology / Neuroscience: Post-doctoral Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA http://hum-molgen.org/positions/postdocs/2413.html - Neurology / Neuroscience: Scientist - Metabolism - In Silico R&D Department, Foster City, CA Confidential Client of Work Wonders Staffing, LLC, Foster City, CA http://hum-molgen.org/positions/non_academic_positions/1379.html - Others: Quality Assurance Auditor, Project Compliance ICON Clinical Research, Inc., SAN FRANCISCO, 94101, USA http://hum-molgen.org/positions/non_academic_positions/1374.html - Others: POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW - FISH NUTRITION/PHYSIOLOGY UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School, Newark, NJ, USA 07101-1709 http://hum-molgen.org/positions/postdocs/2418.html - Others: Project Manager, GloboMax.
