Discovery of anti-freeze gene may be boon for crops

27.4.2006   |   Press monitoring

YDNEY (Reuters) - Australian scientists have discovered an "anti-freeze gene" that allows Antarctic grass to survive at minus 30 Celsius (minus 22 Fahrenheit), saying it could prevent multi-million-dollar crop losses from frost.

The insulinoma-associated 1: a novel promoter for targeted cancer gene therapy for small-cell lung cancer

27.4.2006   |   Press monitoring

The insulinoma-associated 1 (INSM1) gene is expressed exclusively during early embryonal development, but has been found re-expressed at high levels in neuroendocrine tumors. The regulatory region of the INSM1 gene is therefore a potential candidate for regulating expression of a therapeutic gene in transcriptionally targeted cancer gene therapy...

Bottleneck-mediated quasispecies restriction during spread of an RNA virus from inoculation site to brain

27.4.2006   |   Press monitoring

The amplification of RNA viruses such as poliovirus is associated with high error rates, and the resulting diversity likely facilitates viral survival within an infected host. However, within individual tissues of infected hosts, there may be barriers to viral spread that limit genome sampling.

Gene expression patterns in human placenta

26.4.2006   |   Press monitoring

The placenta is the principal metabolic, respiratory, excretory, and endocrine organ for the first 9 months of fetal life. Its role in fetal and maternal physiology is remarkably diverse. Because of the central role that the placenta has in fetal and maternal physiology and development, the possibility that variation in placental gene expression...

Phylogenetic fate mapping

26.4.2006   |   Press monitoring

Cell fate maps describe how the sequence of cell division, migration, and apoptosis transform a zygote into an adult. Yet, it is only in Caenorhabditis elegans where microscopic observation of each cell division has allowed for construction of a complete fate map.
