| Possible link between bacterium and colon cancer discovered Posted: 17 Oct 2011 03:46 PM PDT Scientists have found strikingly high levels of a bacterium in colorectal cancers, a sign that it might contribute to the disease and potentially be a key to diagnosing, preventing, and treating it.  |
| First infectious agent associated with colon cancer identified Posted: 17 Oct 2011 02:15 PM PDT For the first time, a specific microorganism has been found to be associated with human colorectal cancer. In two studies published online today in Genome Research, independent research teams have identified Fusobacterium in colon cancer tissue, a finding that could open new avenues for diagnosis and treatment of the disease.  |
| Genomic sequence and comparison of two macaques reveal new insights into biomedical research Posted: 17 Oct 2011 07:25 AM PDT Researchers have completed the genome sequence and comparison of two non-human primate animal models -- the Chinese rhesus macaque and the cynomolgus.  |
| Genetic study of cave millipedes reveals isolated populations and ancient divergence between species Posted: 17 Oct 2011 07:25 AM PDT Cave millipedes of the genus Tetracion are found on the southern Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee and Alabama, USA. New genetic analyses show that their populations are generally isolated and genetically distinct. Genetic divergence between two species of Tetracion suggests they diverged several million years ago.  |
| Bioengineering to generate healthy skin Posted: 17 Oct 2011 04:55 AM PDT Scientists are participating in research to study how to make use of the potential for auto regeneration of stem skills from skin, in order to create, in the laboratory, a patient's entire cutaneous surface by means of a combination of biological engineering and tissue engineering techniques.  |
| First genome-wide association study for dengue identifies candidate susceptibility genes Posted: 16 Oct 2011 10:20 AM PDT Researchers have identified two genetic variants associated with increased susceptibility to severe dengue. The study offers clues to how the body responds to dengue infection.  |
