Genomic Convergence Pinpoints Age-of Onset Gene
Researchers have used a novel method called "genomic convergence” to identify a gene that plays an important role in the process that determines the age at which individuals begin to show symptoms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. More...04 Nov 2003
Tumor Severity Linked to DNA Methylation
Researchers using a microarray technique developed to evaluate DNA methylation in tumors have found that the degree of methylation often correlates with the seriousness of the tumor, which has important implications for diagnosing cancer and predicting a patient's prognosis. More...31 Oct 2003
RNA Found to Stimulate Prion Conversion
A recent study found that a specific species of RNA was required for normal prion protein (PrPC) to convert to the pathogenic scrapie (PrPSc) form that is responsible for such diseases as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and Cruetzfeld-Jakob disease. More...31 Oct 2003
