Researchers in Spiegelman’s lab at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a teaching affiliate of HMS, discovered the transformation of muscle types after genetically introducing PGC-1 into mice...
Spiegelman said he was surprised at the result—the effects of the genetic modification in the mice resembled those of exercise...
...researchers tested strains of mice without mast cells and found they were resistant to arthritis...
...when mast cells were reintroduced to some of these mice, they became susceptible to the ailment...
...DUTY Researchers may have uncovered an inventive way of both battling anthrax and detecting its microscopic spores. By studying a virus that can invade and attack the anthrax bacillus, scientists isolated an enzyme, called lysin, that breaks apart the cell's walls, causing it to die. Early work in mice looks promising, though any potential drug based on this discovery would have to be administered immediately after exposure, before the anthrax germ had released its toxins. In addition, scientists have found that lysin could be a useful tool for picking up the presence of even trace amounts of anthrax...
