By linking antibodies to certain diseases, researchers at UC Santa Barbara have found a way to uncover and confirm environmental triggers By cross referencing the amino acid sequence of peptides strongly associated with illnesses with a library of known peptides, researchers may be able to map antigens with identical sequences to their environment, thus uncovering […]
In light of new research, Dr André Lacroix suggests genetic screening to find ‘silent carriers’. Genetic research suggests to Dr. André Lacroix, professor at the University of Montreal, that clinicians’ understanding and treatment of a form of Cushing’s syndrome affecting both adrenal glands will be fundamentally changed, and that moreover, it might be appropriate to […]
Hugo Technology, the medical technology repair and service specialist, has been appointed to support BioFire’s FilmArray System – a multi-purpose device which identifies numerous respiratory viruses and bacteria, eg: adenovirus, influenza and bordetella pertussis– a bacterium that is a cause of whooping cough. Hugo has an ongoing contract with BioFire based in Salt Lake City, […]
Women who are members of families with BRCA2 mutations but who test negative for the family-specific BRCA2 mutations are still at greater risk for developing breast cancer compared with women in the general population. Women with certain mutations in their BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are at increased risk for breast cancer. However, if a woman […]
A team of researchers has brought new clarity to the picture of how gene-environmental interactions can kill nerve cells that make dopamine. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that sends messages to the part of the brain that controls movement and co-ordination. Their discoveries include identification of a molecule that protects neurons from pesticide damage. ‘For the […]
Scientists are a step closer to understanding how some of the brain’s 100 billion nerve cells co-ordinate their communication. The University of Bristol research team investigated some of the chemical processes that underpin how brain cells co-ordinate their communication. Defects in this communication are associated with disorders such as epilepsy, autism and schizophrenia, and therefore […]
Dr. Hanna Mikkola and researchers at UCLA’s Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research have identified a specific type of cell and a related cell communication pathway that are key to the successful growth of a healthy placenta. The findings could greatly bolster our knowledge about the potential causes of […]
It has been estimated that 3 to 4 million people are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) each year with the risk of developing liver cirrhosis and/or liver cancer. More than 350,000 people die each year from HCV-related conditions. With earlier detection and diagnosis, patients have a hope of receiving timely treatment and care for […]
People from around the country and the world turn to Johan Van Hove, MD, PhD, for advice on a rare metabolic disease known as NKH, which can disrupt the body in devastating and even deadly ways. Now, Van Hove, a University of Colorado medical school professor, has identified a new disease related to NKH, a […]
For the first time, large-scale information on the biochemical makeup of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules is available publicly. These molecules are used in research to help scientists better understand how genes function in disease. Making these data accessible to researchers worldwide increases the potential of finding new treatments for patients. NIH’s National Center for […]
