| Decoding vaccination: Researchers reveal genetic underpinnings of response to measles vaccine Posted: 22 Sep 2011 10:45 AM PDT Researchers are hacking the genetic code that controls the human response to disease vaccination, and they are using this new cipher to answer many of the deep-seated questions that plague vaccinology, including why patients respond so differently to identical vaccines and how to minimize the side effects to vaccination.  |
| Fluid equilibrium in prehistoric organisms sheds light on a turning point in evolution Posted: 22 Sep 2011 10:45 AM PDT Maintaining fluid balance in the body is essential to survival. By researching recent genomic data, researchers have found genetic evidence that links this intricate process to a turning point in evolution.  |
| Bioengineers reprogram muscles to combat degeneration Posted: 22 Sep 2011 09:14 AM PDT Researchers have turned back the clock on mature muscle tissue, coaxing it back to an earlier stem cell stage to form new muscle. Moreover, they showed in mice that the newly reprogrammed muscle stem cells could be used to help repair damaged tissue. The research could lead to new treatments to combat muscle degeneration.  |
| Close up look at a microbial vaccination program Posted: 22 Sep 2011 08:43 AM PDT Researchers, using a combination of cryo-electron microscopy and 3-D image reconstruction, determined the structure of Cascade, a protein complex that plays a key role in the microbial immune system by detecting and inactivating the nucleic acid of invading pathogens. Microbial immune systems in the human microbiome play a critical role in preserving the health of their human host.  |
| Novel technique reveals both gene number and protein expression simultaneously Posted: 22 Sep 2011 08:43 AM PDT Researchers have discovered a method to simultaneously measure gene number and protein expression in individual cells. The fluorescence microscopy technique could permit a detailed analysis of the relationship between gene status and expression of the corresponding protein in cells and tissues, and bring a clearer understanding of cancer and other complex diseases.  |
