CSHL neuroscientists show 'jumping genes' may contribute to aging-related brain defects
2013-04-08
Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. – As the body ages, the physical effects are notable; wrinkles in the skin appear, physical exertion becomes harder. But there are also less visible processes going on. Inside aging brains there is another phenomenon at work, which may contribute to age-related brain defects.
In a paper [http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nn.3368] published in the journal Nature Neuroscience CSHL Associate Professor Joshua Dubnau [http://www.cshl.edu/Faculty/dubnau-joshua.html] and colleagues show that so-called "jumping genes," or transposons, increase in abundance and ...
AACR news: Paragazole excels in preclinical models of triple-negative breast cancer
2013-04-08
Breast cancers that lack estrogen receptors are more difficult to treat than ER+ cancers. Research presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2013 demonstrates an investigational drug, Paragazole, that makes triple-negative breast cancer cells express estrogen receptors, and that increases the sensitivity of these cells to chemotherapy.
"Basically what we're trying to do is use triple-negative breast cancer models to develop targeted drugs for treatment. Paragazole is an especially exciting candidate," says Jennifer Diamond, MD, investigator at the University of Colorado Cancer ...
Sweet success
2013-04-08
Catalysis may initiate almost all modern industrial manufacturing processes, but catalytic activity on solid surfaces is poorly understood. This is especially true for the cellulase enzymes used to release fermentable sugars from cellulosic biomass for the production of advanced biofuels. Now, researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) through support from the Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI) have literally shed new light on cellulase catalysis.
Using an ultrahigh-precision visible light microscopy technique called PALM – for Photo-Activated ...
