Nanoscale microscope sheds first light on gene repair(11/16/2006) Proteins called H2AX act as "first aid" to DNA, among other roles. For the first time, scientists using the, according to The Jackson Laboratory, world's most powerful light microscope have seen how H2AX is distributed in the cell nucleus: in ...
"Sticky" mice lead to discovery of new cause of neurodegenerative disease(08/16/2006) When a faulty protein wreaks havoc in cells and causes disease, researchers are usually quick to point the finger at a wayward gene. Now scientists are learning that some neurodegenerative diseases can develop even though a gene is perfectly normal. ...
Jackson Laboratory Researcher Explores Newly Discovered Form of Muscular Dystrophy(03/31/2006) A Jackson Laboratory associate staff scientist has found a mouse model with a previously unknown genetic defect that causes a kind of muscular dystrophy (MD). The finding could shed light on some human MD cases for which a specific genetic link has ...
Mouse gene shows new mechanism behind cardiac infarction in man(03/11/2005) A gene that, in different variants, increases or decreases the level of atherosclerosis has been identified in mice. The corresponding human gene has been shown to play a role in the development of myocardial infarction. Researchers at Karolinska ...
