Birds of a feather
Today, an implicit assumption in the discipline of speciation biology is that genetic differences between populations of animals and plants in a given species are important drivers of new species
Study replicates tanning response in cultured human skin
“The activation of the tanning/pigmentation pathway by this new class of small molecules is physiologically identical to UV-induced pigmentation without the DNA-damaging effects of UV,” says David E. Fisher, MD,
Risky bingeing: Women in Appalachian Ohio report higher rates of alcohol misuse
Compared with women living in urban areas, women who reside in these rural areas face multiple health concerns, including substance abuse issues, and often at greater rates. While the opioid

Where cigarette smoking’s damage is done — down to your DNA
The innovation comes from the laboratory of Nobel laureate Aziz Sancar, MD, PhD, the Sarah Graham Kenan Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at UNC’s School of Medicine. In a study
Scientists solve a mystery in cellular ‘droplet’ organelles
These droplet-like structures are commonly known as membraneless organelles, and they are key to how cells compartmentalize their biochemistry and regulate processes such as gene expression and response to stress.
Drug developed for arthritis could be first to stop heart valve calcification
Today in Circulation, the journal of the American Heart Association, Vanderbilt University researchers published findings that the drug — a monoclonal antibody known as SYN0012 — shows promise in keeping
Screening for both genetic diseases, chromosomal defects with a single biopsy improves pregnancy rates, say researchers
By doing this, only embryos that are free not only of the genetic disease, but also of chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy), would be transferred to a woman’s womb, giving her the

Western diet increases Alzheimer’s pathology in genetically predisposed mice
Individuals who inherit the gene APOE4 — approximately 12 percent of the U.S. population — have an increased risk of late-onset AD, but not all carriers develop the disease. Although
‘DNA is a bully’ that hustles transcribers to targets
New simulations of DNA as a transport conduit could shatter the way scientists have thought about how large molecules called transcription factors diffuse on their way to carry out genetic
Combining radionuclide therapy with a PARP inhibitor slows neuroendocrine tumor growth
The Canadian study evaluated lutetium-177 (177Lu)-octreotate PRRT, which has been found effective for slowing the growth of malignant peptide-receptor positive NETs. The challenge is that damaged cells can naturally repair
