Cloning the male genome may help infertile men
07-03-2007 · EurekAlert!Artificially replicating the male genome could help men with very low sperm counts become fathers, the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology was told (Tuesday 3 July). Professor Takumi Takeuchi, of Weill Medical College, Cornell University, New York, USA, said mouse experiments by his team, led by Professor Gianpiero D. Palermo, had shown that offspring born as a result of such replication had shown a level of abnormalities consistent with that shown in cloned animals.

- Researchers find gene mutation that causes infertility in male mice
04-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
Cornell University researchers have identified a mutation in a gene that causes male infertility in mice. Because this is the first time that a dominant mutation that leads specifically to infertility in a mammal has been discovered, the researchers say they can now look for similar mutations in the DNA of infertile men.

- Genes key to high liver cancer rates in men
01-15-2008 · Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
A fundamental difference in the way males and females respond to chronic liver disease at the genetic level helps explain why men are more prone to liver cancer, according to MIT researchers, who conducted the first genome-wide study on the subject.

- Women Given Liver Transplants Outlive Male Recipients By Around 4 Years
09-29-2006 · ScienceDaily
Female liver transplant recipients outlive men given the same procedure by an average of 4.5 years, suggests research published ahead of print in Gut. And while younger people tend to live longest of all, they also stand to lose more years of their life compared with those who have not had liver transplants, the research shows.

- 'Manly men' bounce back better from injury
03-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
For years, experts have said that the strong, silent male is not one to ask for help when he's hurt, and therefore at a disadvantage when it comes to getting better. But new research says this might not be completely accurate. This masculine identity often associated with men in the armed forces and other high-risk occupations may actually encourage and quicken a man's recovery from serious injuries, says a new exploratory study from the University of Missouri-Columbia.

- Scientists map key landmarks in human genome
01-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers have developed a powerful method for charting the positions of key gene-regulating molecules called nucleosomes throughout the human genome. The mapping tool could help uncover important clues for understanding and diagnosing cancer and other diseases, the scientists say. Moreover, it may shed light on the role of nucleosomes in the process of "reprogramming" an adult cell to its original embryonic state, which is a critical operation in cloning.
