Experts: Not importing mice hurts UK science - Houston Chronicle
chron.com — “LONDON (AP) — Medical research in the U.K. is being jeopardized by activists who have persuaded transport companies to stop importing mice, rats and rabbits for scientific experiments, a former British science minister says. Scientists believe studying geneticall modified mice with genes for illnesses such as motor neuron disease, cancer and diabetes could help them uncover the causes behind them and lead to potential drug treatments. Animal rights groups say it is morally indefensible to inflic” View full resource at chron.com

Scientists uncover potential target for treating common form of early-onset dementia
medicalxpress.com — “No cure exists for frontotemporal dementia, which strikes between the ages of 40 and 64 and accounts for at least one in four cases of early-onset dementia. Caused by the death of cells in the front and sides of the brain, the disease can lead to dramatic changes in a patient's personality and behavior, ...” View full resource at medicalxpress.com

Mass administration of common anti-parasitic is possible new tool in fight against malaria
news-medical.net — “Ivermectin - an inexpensive, common medication already being used in Africa to treat roundworms that cause river blindness and parasites that cause elephantitis - could also be used to kill mosquitoes carrying malaria parasites, potentially "provid[ing] another useful weapon in the armory against a disease that kills around 800,000 a year, most of them small children and pregnant women," the Guardian's "Global Health Blog" reports (Boseley, 7/6).” View full resource at news-medical.net

Researchers identify potential cause of hereditary, progressive blindness
news-medical.net — “Medics at the RUB have found the cause of hereditary, progressive blindness: they have identified the previously unknown protein CCDC66, the loss of which initially leads to night blindness and in due course usually results in complete blindness.” View full resource at news-medical.net

NIH-Funded Study Unveils Potential Genetic Links to Lung Disease Risk | Highlight HEALTH
highlighthealth.com — “A new study involving data from more than 20,000 individuals has uncovered several DNA sequences linked to impaired pulmonary function. The research, an analysis that combined the results of several smaller studies, provides insight into the mechanisms involved in reaching full lung capacity. The findings may ultimately lead to better understanding of lung function and diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.” View full resource at highlighthealth.com

Combating trastuzumab resistance by targeting SRC, a common node downstream of multiple resistance pathways : Nature Medicine : Nature Publishing Group
nature.com — “This report uncovers that activation of Src lies downstream of multiple trastuzumab-resistance-driving pathways. The authors show that Src, a major mediator of PI3K and IGFR resistance pathways, also drives resistance caused by PTEN loss, revealing that Src is directly dephosphorylated by PTEN. Src inhibition can overcome de novo and acquired trastuzumab resistance, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy broadly applicable in breast cancer.” View full resource at nature.com

NIH, USU study maps hotspots of genetic rearrangement, April 5, 2011 News Release - National Institutes of Health (NIH)
nih.gov — “Researchers have zoomed in on mouse chromosomes to map hotspots of genetic recombination -- sites where DNA breaks and reforms to shuffle genes. The findings of the scientists at the National Institutes of Health and Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USU) have the potential to improve the detection of genes linked to disease and to help understand the root causes of genetic abnormalities. The research, published online April 3 in Nature, moves scientists one step closer to unders” View full resource at nih.gov
