Mechanisms of Metabolic Signaling Tues. New Tools for Deep Exploration", available on its website in hardcover and eBook formats. Management and Leadership Skills for Scientists, Third Edition, available on its website in hardcover and eBook formats. Apoptosis and Other Means to an End, Second Edition, available on its website in hardcover, paperback and ebook formats. But these are precisely the clinical insights that their most recent study has yielded. Growing deeper roots where the soil is dry.
Its extinction would appear inevitable, but the development of advanced cell and reproductive technologies such as cloning by nuclear transfer and the artificial production of gametes via stem cells differentiation offer a second chance for its survival. Blocking them might be a new anticancer strategy for stopping telomerase, the enzyme that immortalizes tumors. The results help illuminate how cells acquire distinct functions as the embryo matures. What processes drove its evolution through the millennia?
Which genes are critical to cognitive development? In humans as well as in the fruit fly Drosophila females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one copy of the much smaller Y chromosome. The latter carries very few genes, while the X chromosome has thousands of genes. If male flies fail to compensate, they die! Now scientists are finding new details on how disruption of this timing may contribute to male infertility or congenital illness. However, treated tumors frequently become resistant to therapy, prompting the search for new ways to block receptor function.
This is seemingly incompatible with the importance of gene expression. But zebrafish embryos don't seem to care much about noisy transcription; they just wait until the effects of noise fade, and live happily ever after. The map reveals a unique characteristic of the bacteria that could become the target of future drug development. Now, a group that includes University of Florida Health genetics researchers has identified the fundamental mechanism that causes congenital myotonic dystrophy. Tools for Engineering Biological Systems , available on its website in hardcover and eBook formats.
UNC scientists show how DNA is accessed and used during the journey to maturation in fruit flies, and what this might mean to our understanding of how cancers arise. Toyoaki Natsume and Prof. Cejka and colleagues describe the function of one of the proteins that is involved in the initial DNA end processing. They found extensive variation among isolates during chronic lung infection as well as changes in clinically relevant bacterial phenotypes. Adding extra copies of this gene resulted in a massive boost to recombination and diversity in plant offspring.
This finding could enable plant breeders to unlock crop variation, improve harvests and help ensure future food security. However, it is not always clear how such gains in knowledge will translate into improved strategies for the fight against malaria. Kyoto University uncovers a genetic key to self-renewal of reproductive cells.
The results suggest why all conceivable somatic cells can develop from the germ cells. The study has been published in the journal 'Genes and Development'. One tweak to a small enhancer sequence gave the gene a new domain of expression in the leaf. Paradoxically, the other tweak suboptimised its function in this new domain. But together, these changes gave rise to fit plants with complex leaves.
Salk scientists identify the cell nucleus as a driver of gene expression and, sometimes, disease. Studies using fission yeast were instrumental in identifying fundamental mechanisms that govern cell division, differentiation, and epigenetics, to name but a few. However, the use of these lifesaving drugs rapidly led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, which have become increasingly difficult and expensive to eradicate. Whereas intraductal injection of Cas9-encoding lentiviruses induced Cas9-specific immune responses and development of tumors that did not resemble ILC, lentiviral delivery of a Pten targeting sgRNA in mice with mammary gland-specific loss of E-cadherin and expression of Cas9 efficiently induced ILC development.
In this study we have identified Rspo3 as a gene that maintains adrenal function throughout life by controlling functional specification of cells within the adrenal and ensuring cell renewal of damaged cells. They rapidly evolve, constantly changing their genetic architecture through horizontal DNA transfer and other mechanisms. Consequently, it can be difficult to define individual species and determine how they are related. From the egg to adult, the various organs, tissues, cells, and subcellular structures that make up an organism achieve appropriate sizes so that they effectively fit and function together.
The misregulation of this growth can lead to diseases such as cancer. This virus can cause serious liver damage and cancer in chronically infected patients. However, intellectual property law reforms have not kept pace with the rapid advances in genomics, synthetic biology, and stem cell research.
Hereditary, physiologic, or environmental factors can lead to various retinal disorders and may cause blindness. The recent application of molecular genetic techniques to retinal disorders has led to remarkable advances in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions. It is a generic rather than pathogen-specific response that recruits immune cells, promotes inflammation, and mobilizes the adaptive immune system.
Excessive or chronic inflammation may cause tissue damage, so a careful balance is required to restore homeostasis. But a range of genetic and environmental factors can lead to its failure. Inherited mutations give rise to congenital heart disease, the most common birth defect, and abnormalities of the adult heart are a leading cause of illness and death in industrialized countries. A Laboratory Manual serves as a comprehensive practical guide to molecular and cellular methods for neuroscientists.
It offers protection and insulation, prevents dehydration, and senses the environment. These include hormones, growth factors, morphogens, and environmental stress, as well as signals from internal regulators and checkpoints.

These include hormones, growth factors, morphogens, and environmental stress, as well as signals from internal regulators and checkpoints. A complex network of signal transduction pathways within the cell ensures that these signals are relayed to the correct molecular targets and that the cell responds appropriately. Truth, Reason, and Decency by James D.
Their cells possess membrane-bound organelles including a nucleus and mitochondria, distinct cytoskeletal features, and a unique chromosome structure that permits them to undergo mitosis or meiosis. The emergence of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic ancestors about 2 billion years ago was a pivotal evolutionary transition in the history of life on Earth. But the change was abrupt, and few clues exist as to the nature of the intermediate stages.
The book is an essential resource for academic scientists and physicians considering consulting work in biomedicine. This fundamental process of "cellular ingestion" is required for diverse activities such as nutrient uptake, cell adhesion and migration, signal transduction, cytokinesis, neurotransmission, and antigen presentation. In recent years, the questions have become more refined, and mouse models are increasingly being used to develop and test cancer therapeutics. Thus, the need for more sophisticated and clinically relevant mouse models has grown, as has the need for innovative tools to analyze and validate them.
In addition, the normal process of DNA replication is prone to error and may introduce mutations that can be passed to daughter cells. If left unrepaired, these DNA lesions can have serious consequences, such as cancer. Neurotransmitter molecules released from the presynaptic terminal of one neuron diffuse to the postsynaptic terminal on the other, binding to receptors that lead to propagation or modulation of the signal. Bioinformatics methods to support DNA sequencing have become a critical bottleneck for many researchers and organizations wishing to make use of NGS technology.
No other manual has been so popular, or so influential. Molecular Cloning, Fourth Edition, preserves the highly praised detail and clarity of previous editions and includes specific chapters and protocols commissioned for the book from expert practitioners at Yale, U Mass, Rockefeller University, Texas Tech, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Washington University, and other leading institutions. As described in a new book from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, The Mammary Gland as an Experimental Model, this organ also represents an excellent model system for investigation of physiological and pathological processes that occur throughout the body.
August 15, - Studies of mammary gland biology are essential in the fight against breast cancer. While its study has captivated the current generation of molecular biologists, many do not know the historical underpinnings of the field. The fission and fusion of lipid membranes underlies the majority of protein trafficking in cells. In another paper, years after mitotic chromosomes were first described by Walther Flemming, Shintomi and Hirano finally reveal what determines their shape. In a study published online today in Genome Research www.
In another paper, Kang et al. June 13, - Neuroscientists have long pioneered the use of new visualization techniques. A Laboratory Manual continues that tradition by presenting an outstanding collection of methods for visualizing the nervous system. It is the third volume in a series of imaging manuals published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. But the term has also achieved a powerful presence in popular culture, to describe a process by which individuals gain exceptional, often malign, characteristics.
Although a private man, he began a blog to keep family and friends current on his progress, and found a wider audience. May 11, "Metabolism is Not Boring! On the contrary, the ways in which cells obtain energy, use external nutrients, and assemble the building blocks of macromolecules are crucial for life. And the basics of these processes - intermediary metabolism - are similar from the single-celled to multicellular organisms.
Its behavior involves processes internal to the animal - genetics, neurobiology, and physiology - as well as those external to it - environment and social surroundings. Unlike the genome, which is essentially identical in the somatic cells of a given organism, the proteome varies in different cells, and there is no self-replicating amplification mechanism for proteins such as the polymerase chain reaction PCR for DNA. Because of this, methods that extract, separate, detect and identify proteins from extremely small samples are needed.
These connections are determined by external molecular cues that influence the direction in which neurons grow. Organogenesis, essentially the process through which a group of cells becomes a functioning organ, has important connections to biological processes at the cellular and developmental levels, and its study offers great potential for medical treatments through tissue engineering approaches. To better understand the disease and improve therapies, researchers are investigating how deregulation of genes across the genome could be contributing to malignancy.
Viruses can attack and change the composition of bacterial communities, yet little is known about how this might influence human health. Where researchers once struggled to connect events at static timepoints, imaging tools now offer the ability to visualize the dynamic form and function of molecules, cells, tissues, and whole embryos throughout the entire developmental process.
Within the nucleus, nuclear bodies appear to dynamically self-organize, assembling and disassembling according to the functional demands of the cell. The activation of T cells and B cells occurs when immunoreceptors on the cell surface bind to specific regions on, or derived from, the invaders. However, finding the right imaging method and optimizing it for data collection can be a daunting process, even for an established imaging laboratory. Genetics is increasingly being recognized as playing a significant role in susceptibility to the disorder, but outside a handful of genes, a clear understanding of the genetic architecture that underlies T1D has remained elusive.
But finding the right method and optimizing it for data collection can be a daunting process, even for an established imaging laboratory. Genetics is increasingly being recognized as a significant contributor to inter-individual response to radiation, but the biology underlying response remains poorly understood.
One such modification, methylation, is involved in the regulation of the epigenetic program of a cell, determining chromatin structure, and regulating transcription. A Collection of Interviews, contains 22 interviews of prominent individuals in the field of genetics. Treatment of the mosquito-borne illness relies on antibiotics, and the emergence of drug-resistant malaria is of growing concern. Assays that measure the rate of gross chromosomal rearrangements GCRs are needed in order to understand the individual genes and the different pathways that suppress genomic instability.
However, the biological basis for vitamin D deficiency predisposing to disease is poorly understood. Some individuals are more susceptible than others, and the basis for this remains largely unknown. In a report published online today in Genome Research, researchers have identified a gene associated with susceptibility to chronic pain in humans, signaling a significant step toward better understanding and treating the condition.
A new book from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Career Opportunities in Clinical Drug Research, introduces readers to entry-level clinical job opportunities and explains how to qualify for them. However, some of these risk variants lie outside of genes, posing a challenge to researchers working to understand the biology of cancer.
June 29, Life arose on Earth more than three billion years ago. How the first self-replicating systems emerged from prebiotic chemistry and evolved into primitive cell-like entities is an area of intense research, spanning molecular and cellular biology, organic chemistry, cosmology, geology, and atmospheric science. It was edited by Arnold Levine and David Lane, who independently discovered p53 about 30 years ago.
Electrophoresis is used for RNA detection, quantification, purification by size and quality assessment. However, the mechanisms governing DNA mutation rate are not well understood. May 20, - The nervous system is the most complex organ system in the human body, with circuits, synapses, and signals that control much of our physiology and behavior - both conscious and unconscious. May 18, - Symmetry breaking events are critical for the survival of all living systems.
They are required for cell division, development, and movement in all organisms from single-celled species to human beings. Moreover, in multicellular organisms, symmetry breaking allows the generation of cells with different fates and underpins the complex arrangement of tissues and organs achieved during embryogenesis. May 11, - Cell-cell junctions are multi-molecular complexes that link neighboring cells.
They help maintain tissue integrity, act as barriers to permeability, and allow intercellular transport. The establishment of concentration gradients of these morphogens is vital for developmental patterning, ensuring that distinct differentiated cell types appear in the right place and at the right time in forming tissues. May 4, - Newly appointed principal research investigators have to recruit, motivate, and lead a research team, manage personnel and institutional responsibilities, and compete for funding while maintaining the outstanding scientific record that got them their position in the first place.
Small wonder, then, that many principal investigators feel ill-prepared. Transient expression assays have been developed as faster and more convenient alternatives for investigating gene function. These assays often take advantage of the ability of Agrobacterium to transfer foreign DNA into plant cells with intact cell walls. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is, however, inefficient and shows great variability.
Researchers are now discovering how biological networks change and are rewired in cancer. But in the last few years, due in part to technical advances, the reduced costs of genome sequencing, and increased interest in evolution and development, the range of organisms used for research has greatly expanded.
Johanna Joyce and colleagues at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center lend new insight into the mechanism by which tumor-associated macrophages promote malignant progression. Even the most routine informatics tools rely on statistical assumptions and methods that need to be appreciated if the scientific results are to be correct, understood, and exploited fully. Improvements to cloning and sequencing techniques are allowing researchers to study microorganisms in environmental samples, and new knowledge of species interactions and community dynamics is emerging.
A newly released set of compact and easy-to-use laboratory resources from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press fills this gap. Instead of viewing dead tissues and cells fixed at a particular stage of activity, scientists can now visualize dynamic changes as they happen, permitting a better understanding of biological processes. An attractive replacement for gasoline is biofuel, and in two studies published online in Genome Research www.
Thursday, October 1, - The study of RNA has long been the tool of choice for understanding where and when genes are expressed in a cell, tissue, or organism during development or under specific physiological or environmental conditions. Recent discoveries have revolutionized our concept of RNA function; it is now known to be active in a much wider set of biological processes than was previously believed. Techniques for isolating RNA and for uncovering its interactions with proteins have taken on new importance as many laboratories define the roles of specific RNAs in the cell.
ChIP can be used to determine whether a transcription factor interacts with a candidate target gene, and is used to monitor the presence of histones with posttranslational modifications at specific genomic locations. The results are often extremely useful for investigating the functions of specific transcription factors or histone modifications. Lentiviral vectors are preferred because they can transduce non-proliferating cellular targets. These vectors can be engineered to target specific tissues. Karen Oegema UCSD and colleagues identify the molecular basis of the lethal developmental disorder, hydrolethalus syndrome, and reveal that hydrolethalus syndrome actually belongs to the emerging class of human ciliopathy diseases.
July 16, — Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press today launched a new monthly publication, Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, that provides comprehensive, systematically structured surveys of research in exciting areas of molecular and cellular biology, genetics, developmental biology, neuroscience, cancer biology, and molecular pathology.
