Some Inclusion Bodies Protect Cells from Damage by Toxic Misfolded Proteins
Researchers studying neurodegenerative diseases reported that inclusion bodies, which have traditionally been thought to accompany onset of this type of disease, actually have a cell-biological function that is not necessarily related to the disease conditions. More...20 Dec 2012
International Gene Mapping Study Identifies More Genes Linked to Cardiovascular Disease Risk
A large study focusing on the genetics of cardiovascular disease identified several significant molecular pathways mapping to networks linked to lipid metabolism and inflammation, underscoring the causal role of these activities in the genetic etiology of that disease. More...20 Dec 2012
Encapsulating Childhood Leukemia Drugs in Nanoparticles Diminishes Toxic Side Effects
Cancer researchers have demonstrated that highly toxic chemotherapy agents used to treat childhood leukemia could be safely administered in much lower effective doses when the drugs were encapsulated in polymer nanoparticles. More...19 Dec 2012
Gene Variation Analysis of Gut Bacteria Reveals Remarkable Stability
Data obtained by analyzing the genetic variation within the microbiome from the guts of more than 200 individuals revealed that each person contains a distinct microbiome gene profile and that this profile is remarkably stable. More...19 Dec 2012
