Too Much of a Good Thing: Important Mechanism in Hormone-Sensitive Breast Cancer UncoveredIn two out of three breast tumors, extraordinarily high levels of the estrogen receptor ERá are found. Scientists of the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) have now uncovered a mechanism which causes this overproduction. This result might contribute to...

Researchers: RNA Snippet Helps Make Individuals Remarkably AlikeEVANSTON, Ill. --- “No two people are alike.” Yet when we consider the thousands of genes with frequent differences in genetic composition among different people, it is remarkable how much alike we are. Uniformity, or singleness of form, is not unique to humans but a general property... Published on 6 May 2009, 13:03 |

New insights into hearing lossHuman and mouse share hearing deficit caused by mutation in microRNAIn parallel studies in human and mouse, two groups of researchers have come to the same conclusion: that a new kind of gene is associated with progressive hearing loss. The new gene - called a microRNA - is a tiny fragment of RNA... Published on 13 April 2009, 09:54 |

Scientists find regulatory molecule that may contribute to the formation or suppression of tumoursScientists in Singapore and the US have recently found that a microRNA, named microRNA-125b, is a novel regulator of p53, an important protein that safeguards cells against cancers. The research finding was reported on March 17, 2009 in the prestigious journal, Genes & Development.The unique... Published on 17 March 2009, 14:14 |
