    Updated: 2009-09-08 03:06:21
    A study that tracked genetic mutations through the human equivalent of about 5,000 years has demonstrated for the first time that oxidative DNA damage is a primary cause of the process of mutation – the fuel for evolution but also a leading cause of aging, cancer and other diseases. The research, just published in Proceedings of the [...] (Source: Biosingularity)

  • Human fat is easily converted to pluripotent stem cells

    Updated: 2009-09-08 00:33:02
    Globs of human fat removed during liposuction conceal versatile cells that are more quickly and easily coaxed to become induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, than are the skin cells most often used by researchers, according to a new study from Stanford’s School of Medicine. “We’ve identified a great natural resource,” said Stanford surgery professor [...] (Source: Biosingularity)

  • Researchers identify critical gene for brain development, mental retardation

    Updated: 2009-09-04 17:35:22
    In laying down the neural circuitry of the developing brain, billions of neurons must first migrate to their correct destinations and then form complex synaptic connections with their new neighbors. When the process goes awry, neurodevelopmental disorders such as mental retardation, dyslexia or autism may result. Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill [...] (Source: Biosingularity)

  • Mice Can Eat ‘Junk’ And Not Get Fat: Researchers Find Gene That Protects High-fat-diet Mice From Obesity

    Updated: 2009-09-04 17:32:09
    University of Michigan researchers have identified a gene that acts as a master switch to control obesity in mice. When the switch is turned off, even high-fat-diet mice remain thin. Deleting the gene, called IKKE, also appears to protect mice against conditions that, in humans, lead to Type 2 diabetes, which is associated with obesity and [...] (Source: Biosingularity)
