Skateboarder to Ride Almost 10,000 Miles, 35 States for Cancer Research

2014-03-27

Mark Williams, to many, is a humble guy next-door that is known in the Washington DC skateboarding community. However, Mark's latest ambitions have put him in the spotlight with massive recognition. On Thursday, March 27th, Mark embarks on a cross-country journey to teach skateboarding and raise money for cancer. He starts the 115 day journey in a small town in Vermont. This is not the first-time Mark has been on such a trip. In 2013, he completed a 300 miles skate from Virginia to Indiana in memory of his Grandmother. From his past trip, he expects to be able to cover ...

CASIS-Sponsored Research Heads to Space Station Aboard SpaceX-3

2014-03-27

Riding a dragon is a fantasy many have and few fulfil, but if you're interested in sending research to the International Space Station, the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) can help bring those dreams to life. To clarify, this "dragon" is actually a spacecraft carrying cargo and supplies to the orbiting laboratory and the "ride" is for the research proposed by investigators. This simply adds the magic of discovery to the journey, as knowledge expands with each result from microgravity experimentation aboard the space station. Advancing Research ...

Rabbit TV to Reveal Breakout Content Monetization Programs at NAB

2014-03-27

Just days following the unveiling of the new Rabbit TV Content Partnership Program, the company announced its participation in NAB 2014 and its compelling plans for content monetization. Rabbit TV's recent entry into the online media marketplace is supported by millions of viewers and its massive electronic programming guide featuring 100,000+ freely available selections coupled with pay-per-view and premium channels. The company's new model, proven successful by the popular Rabbit TV service and based on subscriber behavioral data, identifies three unique content ...

Air pollution from traffic increases odds of hospital readmission for asthma

2014-03-27

Higher exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) dramatically increases the odds of readmission to the hospital for asthma – but only for white children, according to a new Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center study. The study shows that white children exposed to high levels of TRAP are three times more likely to be readmitted for asthma than white children with low TRAP exposure. Levels of TRAP exposure were not associated with increased risk of readmission of black children, despite their having overall higher rates of asthma readmission than white ...

Faster genetic testing method will likely transform care for patients with breast cancer

2014-03-27

Faster and cheaper DNA sequencing techniques will likely improve care for patients with breast cancer but also create challenges for clinicians as they counsel patients on their treatment options. Those are among the conclusions of a study published recently in the BJS (British Journal of Surgery). The findings provide insights into how genetic advances will soon be affecting patient care. When a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, it's important to know as much about her tumour as possible to determine the best treatment. Most cases of breast cancer are sporadic, ...

Dying cells in fruit fly alert neighboring cells to protect themselves

2014-03-27

Cells usually self-destruct when irreparable glitches occur in their DNA. Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, helps insure that cells with damaged DNA do not grow and replicate to produce more mutated cells. Apoptosis thereby helps protect and insure the survival of the organism. At the GSA Drosophila Research Conference, TinTin Su, Ph.D., will report that a dying Drosophila melanogaster larvae cell alerts neighboring cells that they are in danger of suffering a similar fate. Dr. Su and her collaborators at University of Colorado, Boulder used ionizing radiation ...

Sex chromosomes have reverted to autosomes multiple times in flies

2014-03-27

In previous research (Nature, July 2013), UC Berkeley scientists Beatriz Vicoso, Ph.D., and Doris Bachtrog, Ph.D., determined that genes on the so-called "dot chromosome," or fourth chromosome, of the fruit fly Drosophilia melanogaster are X-linked in three other related fly species. These and other findings revealed that the fruit fly's "dot chromosome" had descended from a differentiated X chromosome and suggests that several of the chromosome's puzzling features are remnants of its heritage as a sex chromosome. For example, the expression levels of genes on the ...

Sunday driver gene headed the wrong way in inherited muscle diseases

2014-03-27

Skeletal muscle cells with unevenly spaced nuclei, or nuclei in the wrong location, are telltale signs of such inherited muscle diseases as Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, which occurs in one out of every 100,000 births, and centronuclear myopathy, which affects one out of every 50,000 infants. What goes wrong during myogenesis, the formation and maintenance of muscle tissue, to produce these inherited muscle diseases? Research using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has implicated the gene known as Sunday Driver (Syd) as a novel regulator of myogenesis. The ...

Caffeinated fruit flies help identify potential genes affecting insecticide resistance

2014-03-27

As Rachel Carson predicted 50 years ago in her groundbreaking book Silent Spring, crop pests are capable of outwitting the chemical compounds known as xenobiotics that are devised to kill them. This development of resistance to insecticides is a serious problem because it threatens crop production and thereby can influence the availability and costs of many foods as well as the economy. To understand the genetic mechanisms underlying insecticide resistance, University of Kansas scientists turned to the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and caffeine, a stimulant drug ...

Gene mutations in flies and humans produce similar epilepsy syndromes

2014-03-27

Four years ago, University of Iowa scientists discovered that mutations in the prickle gene in Drosophila were responsible for much more than merely altering the bristles on the fly's body to point them in the wrong direction. Prompted by a colleague's finding that PRICKLE gene mutations were responsible for triggering a form of epilepsy in humans, John Manak, Ph.D., who led the fly research team, took a closer look at the Drosophila prickle mutants. (PRICKLE refers to the human gene, while prickle is the Drosophila form of the gene.) Through a series of experiments, ...
