University of Alberta researcher looks for clues to mysterious disease
... her research team are studying ATM mutants, which behave as cells do when they are damaged. In a recent issue of the journal, "Current Biology," Campbell describes how they examined ATM mutants for signs of locomotor defects in mutant and control flies and found the average climbing ability to be lowe...Genetic differences might help distinguish thyroid cancers
... two cancers is important because the malignancies behave differently and require different treatment. The research should also help scientists better understand the origins of the two diseases. The study is published in the a recent issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. "This finding suggests a pot...DNA lends scientists a hand, revealing new chemical reactions

Rozenman, Kaori Sakurai, and Thomas M. Snyder, all of Harvard's Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. The work was supported by th...NIH awards $18.2m to The Burnham Institute to develop Center on Proteolytic Pathways
