...process known as neuronal cell adhesion. "They sit at the synapse, and when the nerves come together, these molecules adhere to the nerve," essentially fusing a connection in the brain, explains Dr. Hakon Harkonarson, director of the Center for Applied Genomics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and a lead author of the study. Preliminary research suggests that cadherin 10 is very active in wiring the frontal cortex of the brain during fetal development...
...second paper in Nature, published by the same team at CHOP along with scientists at numerous other institutions, looked at a specific kind of genetic change: deletions and duplications of genes. While there are many such changes associated with autism, most are very rare. This paper, however, found an intriguing pattern among two genes already linked to autism and nine newly identified targets. Most play a role in two key systems in the brain. One is the same brain-wiring system - neural cell adhesion - implicated in the first paper. The second is a set of housekeeping proteins - the ubiquitin system...
...they deserved. Ebert has referred to the event as "the best train set a boy could ever want." The 11th edition of "Ebertfest" kicks off Wednesday at the historic Virginia Theater in downtown Champaign, and will screen a dozen titles including Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg, Ramin Bahrani's Chop Shop and Courtney Hunt's Frozen River, which took home the top prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. After a long bout with thyroid cancer and complications that left him unable to speak, Ebert made his first public appearance in nearly a year at the 2007 Ebertfest. "We spend...
...recent Sunday, Keley Hill piloted a 39-ft. (12 m) Midnight Express powerboat near the border. The boat sloshed in the 4-ft. (1.2 m) chop, running lights out to avoid detection. Supervisory agent Mark White stood on the bow, peering through night-vision goggles that revealed an empty sea clear out to Coronado island, 8 miles (13 km) away. Hill, director of the CBP's marine-interdiction unit in San Diego, busied himself scanning the green squiggles on the radar screen and radioed to agents in helicopters hovering above the coastline. "They're the bird dogs," Hill says...
