  3. Catalan Researchers Identify A Key Component Of Cell Division 8/21/2012

    A study by the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and the Center for Genomic Regulation (acronym in Catalan CRG) highlights the protein Nek9 as a decisive factor in cell division, a fundamental process for both the development of an organism and tissue maintenance. 

  4. NIH Researchers Implicate Unique Cell Type In Multiple Sclerosis 8/1/2012

    Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have found evidence that a unique type of immune cell contributes to multiple sclerosis (MS). 

  5. Major Cancer Protein Amplifies Global Gene Expression, NIH Study Finds 9/27/2012

    Scientists may have discovered why a protein called MYC can provoke a variety of cancers. Like many proteins associated with cancer, MYC helps regulate cell growth.

  6. Reconstruction Of Prehistoric DNA Refutes Criticism On Theory Of Evolution 12/10/2012

    Scientists from VIB, KU Leuven, UGent and Harvard have succeeded in reconstructing DNA and proteins from prehistoric yeast cells. This made it possible to determine how genes developed and evolved into their current form over more than 100 million years.

  7. Population Genetics Validates GenomePooling For Cancer 7/31/2012

    Population Genetics Technologies Ltd., creator of innovative methods for genetic analyses and biomarker discovery, has successfully completed a pilot study to prove that its GenomePooling method is sensitive and accurate enough to detect even small percentages of gene variants within cancer tissue. This validates the method’s suitability for use in IntReALL 2010, the world’s largest genetic analysis of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) relapse cases. ALL is the most common childhood malignant disease.
