...ty of California, Berkeley. "Randy has done a very nice job of showing how these two systems produce different behavioral changes and are probably related to different pathological processes. I think it's probably going to be the way many people start to think of cognitive aging." Buckner said he ...Researchers report new gene test for isolated cleft lip and palate

...complex trait like cleft lip and palate, this is a nice step forward because there may be dozens of genes that contribute to the condition," said Murray. Murray said the mutation that causes the cleft remains unidentified.

...reatments. "From a clinical point of view, what's nice is these stem cells are easily accessible," said Shi. "In theory, people could one day preserve, or bank, these stem cells when they have their wisdom teeth extracted, opening the door for biology-based regenerative treatment later in life of advanc...LARGE protein can overcome defects in some types of muscular dystrophy
...estored when the LARGE gene was expressed. "What's nice about this is that cells from patients, which we can grow up in the laboratory, actually showed that we can correct the defect in their cells with LARGE," Campbell said. Furthermore, although each of the cell types had a mutation in a different enzym...UC Riverside researchers discover new way to identify cell growth

...g the capacity to make antibodies is going to be a nice core to have," he said. "I think a good number of cancer researchers will come to use that core. It'll be used right out of the gate." And that could help scientists better track the progression of cancer, most forms of which are mutant outgrowths of...Germ-free transparent fish open new window into gut development

First, the zebrafish gut is organized in ways similar to the mammalian gut, and an international effort to sequence the zebrafish genome is almost complete. Zebrafish also are small less than...Obesity drug inhibits prostate tumor growth
... "This discovery with orlistat has given us a very nice wedge with which we can go in and perturb tumor cells and ask the question, 'What are the active targets, what are the other changes that take place when you inhibit fatty acid synthase?'", says Dr. Smith, "and that will give us really good insights ...Gene variants may increase susceptibility to type 2 diabetes
