Mouse Lifespan Increased 20% by Single Gene Alteration

By lowering the expression of a single gene, US researchers have extended the average lifespan of a group of lab mice by about 20%—the equivalent of raising the average human lifespan by 16 years, from 79 to 95. More...

Image: Mark Anderson, MD, PhD, led a team that identified an immune cell, called eTAC cells (shown in green), that may help prevent autoimmune diseases. ETAC cells, which contain a protein in their nucleus called AIRE (shown in red) are relatively rare, and found in lymph nodes and the spleen (Photo courtesy of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)).

Discovery Enables Autoimmune Disease Treatment Strategy

Scientists have found a new way to manipulate the immune system that may keep it from attacking the body’s own molecules in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, and multiple sclerosis. More...

Image: A DNA cage (at left), with lipid-like molecules (in blue). The lipids come together in a "handshake" within the cage (center image) to encapsulate small-molecule drugs (purple). The molecules are released (at right) in response to the presence of a specific nucleic acid (Photo courtesy of Thomas Edwardson, McGill University).

Nanoscale DNA Cages for Directed Delivery of Small Drug Compounds

A novel method for directed drug delivery is based on enclosing low molecular weight compounds in nanoscale "cages" built of DNA strands that sequester the compound until contact with a specific nucleic acid sequence triggers release of the drug. More...
