...leading scientific minds, including Dr. Francis Collins, who helped map the human genome, and Dr. Harold Varmus, former head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and a science adviser to the Administration, Obama fulfilled a campaign promise to lift the ban on federal funding of embryonic-stem-cell research put in place by then President George W. Bush in 2001. Obama's new Executive Order allows scientists to apply for government grants to study the versatile cells...
...team boarded another boat and then a ship named Al-Husseini, which is thought by Pakistani investigators to be registered in the name of an Islamist group associated with LeT. Each militant was given a sack containing "eight grenades, one AK-47 rifle, 200 cartridges, two magazines and one cell phone for communication...
...provides a biological explanation for recent clinical studies that have shown a negative correlation between caffeine intake and the risk of developing non-melanoma skin cancer. According to the study, caffeine appears to reduce the risk of some skin cancers by interrupting the ATR pathway, causing apoptosis or cell suicide of these damaged and potentially cancerous cells. ATR is a protein kinase that is responsible for facilitating the replication of DNA, especially in damaged and dividing cells. While ATR plays a minimal role in normal cells, recently damaged and precancerous cells need the function of ATR, Nghiem explained. The researchers...
...Molecular and Cellular Biology professor who asked that he not be named to protect his relationship with the University. “But now, unfortunately, since we cannot grow, the situation involves making choices.”The delay has compelled the University to plan to relocate stem cell researchers originally bound for Allston to a Cambridge facility currently occupied by faculty members in the MCB department—a move that has triggered backlash from professors who object to the administration’s apparent prioritization of stem cell research at the expense of their own discipline...
...used to screen 1,313 genes in 569 individuals and turned up 37 that worked collectively to forecast a cardioembolic stroke. Lead author and Medical School Associate Professor Marco F. Ramoni said he first explored predicting stroke risk after observing a high rate of strokes in a 2005 sickle-cell anemia study he conducted. That began a collaboration with Karen L. Furie, Mass. General’s director of stroke service, who was instrumental in providing the raw data needed to construct the Bayesian model. “We’re fortunate Karen had been collecting this data...
