- Pioneering study looks at p53's role in tumor-stroma interactions
10-25-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have conducted the first comprehensive study of the role an important tumor suppressor gene plays in cancer development. P53 is known as a major tumor suppressor that is frequently mutated in human cancer. In this study, researchers used novel proteomic techniques to identify the proteins secreted by cells specifically in response to p53. The findings suggest a newfound role for wt-p53 in the control of the tumor's ability to communicate with the normal stromal cells surrounding it.

- HIPAA privacy rule slows scientific discovery and adds cost to research
11-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
Implementation of HIPAA has severely eroded the process of scientific research, delaying some clinical studies and curtailing others before they even begin. Roberta Ness, MD, MPH, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Health, reports findings from the first national survey of epidemiologists, commissioned by the Institute of Medicine, National Academies of Science. Epidemiologists analyze the development and control of a wide array of illnesses and their impacts on public health.

- Researchers map signaling networks that control neuron function
01-28-2008 · EurekAlert!
In the first large-scale proteomics study of its kind, researchers at the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine have mapped thousands of neuronal proteins to discover how they connect into complex signaling networks that guide neuron function. Their research -- using quantitative mass spectrometry, computational software and bioinformatics to match the proteins to their cellular functions -- may lead to a better understanding of brain development, neurodegenerative diseases, and spinal cord regeneration.
