- Cedars-Sinai researchers on multicenter team linking gene mutation to Crohn's disease
10-26-2006 · EurekAlert!
The North American IBD Genetics Consortium has linked a gene mutation to the development of Crohn's disease, a chronic, relapsing inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that affects 100 to 150 of every 100,000 people of European ancestry. The consortium is composed of IBD genetics research groups from seven centers in North America, including Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and this effort was led by teams at Yale University and the University of Pittsburgh.

- 'Diabetes gene' may be linked to polycystic ovary syndrome
12-06-2006 · EurekAlert!
A study of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) provides further evidence that calpain-10, the "diabetes gene," is related to PCOS susceptibility. PCOS affects up to five percent of the female population, and those diagnosed with the disease have a 2- to 7-fold risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. The data suggest that one area of the gene, the SNP ins/del-19, may be related to both PCOS and type 2 diabetes.

Transfer of a gene that produces a mutant form of good cholesterol provides significantly better anti-plaque and anti-inflammation benefits than therapy using the "normal" HDL gene, according to a mouse study conducted by cardiology researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and reported in the Oct. 3 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

- Study shows that targeted antibiotics lead to prolonged improvement in IBS symptoms
10-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have found that a nonabsorbable antibiotic -- one that stays in the gut -- can be an effective long-term treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a disease affecting more than 20 percent of Americans.

- New project to analyze why Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and insulin resistance are so closely linked
03-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Understanding the link between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance is the aim of a new project announced today, funded by the charity WellBeing of Women. It is known that women with PCOS have a 3-fold increase in their risk of developing type-2 diabetes, where the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin properly. Insulin resistance is an important factor in the condition, which is the most common female hormone disorder.

- New study shows that therapeutic gene expression can be sustainable for 1 year
10-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the Board of Governors Gene Therapeutics Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have shown for the first time that it is possible to sustain therapeutic gene expression in the central nervous system for up to a year, even in the presence of an anti-viral immune response mechanism that is normally present in humans.

- Standard therapy more effective than diabetes drug in helping women with PCOS achieve pregnancy
02-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Metformin, a drug used to treat diabetes and once thought to have great promise in overcoming the infertility associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is less effective than the standard fertility drug treatment, clomiphene, according to researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health Reproductive Medicine research network.

- Molecular glue with new effect
01-31-2008 · EurekAlert!
Ten years ago, researchers at the IMP discovered the fundamental role of cohesin, a ring-shaped molecule, in cell division. Now scientists from the same institute find proof that cohesion also plays a role in the regulation of gene expression. Certain developmental disorders like Cornelia de Lange Syndrome can be linked to defects in this function of cohesin.
