Gene Therapy Combined with Stem Cell Technology Cures Inherited Anemia
In a proof-of-concept study carried out on cells growing in tissue culture, researchers have shown that gene therapy combined with induced pluripotent stem cell technology can cure a rare form of inherited chronic anemia. More...10 Jun 2009
Treating Cancers with KRAS Mutations by Attacking Secondary Genes
To overcome drug resistance in the more than 30% of cancers linked to mutations in the KRAS gene, cancer researchers have developed a method for targeting secondary genes that are required for the survival of the cancer cell. More...10 Jun 2009

Steroid-Like Hormone Prompts Change of Morphology in Parasitic Nematodes
Researchers have identified a chemical compound that causes parasitic nematode worms to morph prematurely into the stage requiring feeding from host tissue, which results in the worms starving to death before they can establish an infection. More...09 Jun 2009
Two Cytokines Regulate Development of Immune System Memory Cells
The process of developing new vaccines should be facilitated by the discovery that two different cytokines regulate the formation of the CD8+ T-cells that "remember” pathogens and allow the immune system to quickly respond to any subsequent infection. More...09 Jun 2009
