1. Newly identified mechanism for silencing genes points to possible anti-cancer strategies
   05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists are only beginning to appreciate the extraordinary degree of control exercised over every step of the gene-to-protein production process. Only about 10 percent of human genes, for example, are active in a given cell at a given time, with the remaining 90 percent silenced by a various mechanisms. In a just-published study in Nature, scientists report an important new gene-silencing mechanism that points to promising potential targets for anti-cancer interventions.

2. Giving asthma T(he)SL(i)P by blocking OX40
   12-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Inflammatory disorders such as asthma and eczema are overzealous immune responses by the body to otherwise innocuous environmental conditions. The protein TSLP is a potent activator of the allergic inflammatory response, and a new report has identified a role for another protein, OX40, in TSLP-induced allergic reactions in mice and monkeys. These data point to the interaction between OX40 and its partner protein, OX40L, as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of allergic diseases.

   04-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
   An international research team has identified several novel genetic variations associated with the risk of Crohn's disease. One of the identified genes establishes a role for autophagy, a previously unsuspected biological pathway, in Crohn's disease pathology, and the report documents functional studies which establish that this gene is integral to immune responses to intestinal bacteria.

   Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine report that older adults with diabetes and depression are half as likely to die over a 5-year period when they receive depression care management than depressed patients with diabetes who do not receive depression care management. The first known study to examine the relationship between diabetes and mortality in a depression intervention trial appears in the December issue of Diabetes Care.

9. Preclinical results of Geovax's AIDS vaccines demonstrate potential to protect against disease
   02-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   GeoVax Labs, Inc., an Atlanta-based biotechnology company, today reported successful results from a preclinical trial using GeoVax's vaccines for the therapeutic treatment and prevention of Acquired Immunodeficiency Disease Syndrome ("AIDS") in non-human primates. The data demonstrate the effectiveness of GeoVax's DNA/MVA vaccines in controlling the Simian ("SIV") AIDS virus through immune responses raised by the vaccines. These promising results have resulted in preliminary plans to conduct human therapeutic studies utilizing GeoVax's vaccines.
