Suicidal Tendencies

...kinson's disease. With the exception of early fetal cells, all cells appear to have poisonousproteins stashed beneath their membranes. Like spies with cyanide pills underthe skin, cells pack these suicidal enzymes away for extreme emergencies,releasing them only when neighboring cells drop out of comm...

Second Look Acquits Gene Of Role In Breast Cancer

...pastedthe remainingRNA together wrong. Normal and fetal cells made the same mistakes, but muchless often. "The earlier report of TSG101 deletions was actually detecting this alteredsplicing," saysFeinberg. "Is this important, this unusual splicing of RNA?" Feinberg asks. "It'spossible. Wethin...

Doublecortin : A Novel Gene Involved In Cortical Development

A novel gene, Doublecortin, expressed in the fetal brain and involved in certainmalformations of the cerebral cortex, has just been identified by the Dr. JamelChelly's team at INSERM 129 (directed by Professor Axel Kahn, Paris, France).This should provide insight into how the brain develops and yield...

UMass Researchers Announce Birth Of Genetically Modified Cloned Calves

...ttle have been reported to be cloned from cultured fetal germ cells. The animals were not genetically modified and required a second cloning procedure for successful development. Moreover, the cloning method used to produce Charlie and George differed significantly from those used in Scotland to produce th...

Dr. Heber-Katz expects her findings may ultimately make it possible to promoteorgan replacement, enhance the healing of chronic wounds, burns ...

Leftover Fetal Cells May Affect Development Of Scleroderma

A Longitudinal Study Of Calcium Homeostasis During Human Pregnancy And Lactation And After Resumption Of Menses

...; 1.52 mmol/d ( P < 0.001). We concluded that fetal calcium demand was met by increased maternal intestinal absorption; early breast-milk calcium was provided by maternal renal calcium conservation and loss of spinal trabecular bone, a loss that was recovered postmenses.

Fetal Growth Rate Affects Risk Of Heart Disease

(Reduced fetal growth rate and increased risk of death from ischaemic heart disease: cohort study of 15,000 Swedish men and women born 1915-1929) There has been much research into whether circumstances affecting a fetus during pregnancy can affect the risk of ca...

New Insights On Sequence of Cell Death After Brain Injury: Understanding Cellular Events After Brain Trauma Could Lead To Better Therapies

...'s an enormous amount of cellularredundancy in the fetal brain. The programmed cell death genes encode proteinsthat kill superfluous cells. Those genes get downregulated after birth and arenot expressed, to our knowledge, in normal adults. Hence, one of the interestingthings about this paper is that it doc...

Fetuses Destined For Abortion May Be Used To Test Gene Therapy

...Angeles announced that he was seeking approval for fetal genetherapy (This Week, 27 June, p 12). He is still developing the techniques andwill not be ready to start trials for at least three years. "We wanted to leavetime for lots of public and private discussions," he says.
