New Susceptibility Loci for Colorectal Cancer Identified by Genome-Wide Association Studies on East Asians
A genome-wide association study conducted on individuals from several East Asian countries identified four genetic foci linked to colorectal cancer, three of which were also found in a population of European descent. More...07 Jan 2013
Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor Key Element in Recovery from Stroke
Candesartan, a drug used to reduce blood pressure, has been found to stimulate angiogenesis in the brain following stroke, and a recent study has linked this action to increased expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor. More...03 Jan 2013
Tandem Delivery Method Increases Intracellular Availability of Cholesterol-Encapsulated siRNA
A paper described a new approach that improved the delivery of therapeutic small interfering RNA by over 500-fold and allowed greater than 90% reduction in target gene expression in mice and, for the first time, high levels of gene knockdown in nonhuman primates. More...02 Jan 2013
