Unique pattern of gene expression can indicate acetaminophen overdose
10-31-2007 · EurekAlert!In a new study, researchers found they could detect toxic levels of acetaminophen in laboratory animals by analyzing gene expression in the blood. This study by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health, could be a first step in developing accurate new tools to detect acetaminophen overdose in humans.

03-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have identified three different signals that indicate damage to chloroplasts -- the photosynthetic factories of plant cells that give plants their green color -- but little is known about how the signal gets passed on to the nucleus. Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies made a big step towards explaining how chloroplasts let a cell's nucleus know when things start to go wrong at the periphery so nuclear gene expression can be adjusted accordingly.

- Genomics study provides insight into the evolution of unique human traits
07-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers report the results of a large-scale, genome-wide study to investigate gene copy number differences among ten primate species, including humans. In the report, the scientists speculate how unique, lineage-specific gene copy number expansions and contractions in humans may underlie traits such as endurance running, higher cognitive function, and susceptibility genetic disease.

- Insulin regulates the secretion of the antiaging hormome Klotho
11-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Dr. Carmela Abraham, a professor of biochemistry and medicine at Boston University School of Medicine, reports this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences new findings on Klotho, an antiaging gene that is associated with life span extension in rodents and humans. Dr. Abraham's interest in Klotho stems from her studies comparing the expression of genes in young and old brains.
