Genetic Variation Helps To Understand Predisposition To Schizophrenia
Scientists have provided new insight into how a gene is related to schizophrenia. They describe for the first time a genetic variation that causes a gene to be overexpressed in the human brain. These results may provide a new way to design better drugs to treat schizophrenia. Jerry Burchfield: Primal Images

Astounded and shocked is how men described feeling when learning they had breast cancer, a disease they didn't even know was possible for them to get, says Edie Pituskin, a University of Alberta Faculty of Nursing graduate student. Pituskin is conducting what she believes to be the first North American study looking at what men experience after a breast cancer diagnosis--important, considering the different ways men and women cope. Batten Down The Hatches Against HIV: Carbon Nanotubes Transport Gene T
A promising approach to gene therapy involves short DNA fragments (interfering RNA) that bind to specific genes and block their "translation"into the corresponding, disease-related protein. A stumbling block has been the efficient and targeted delivery of RNA into the cells. Researchers led by Hongjie Dai at Stanford University have sucessfully used carbon nanotubes as a "means of transport,"they write in "Angewandte Chemie." Complex ART Procedures More Likely To Lead To Umbilical Cord Abnormali
The more complex the assisted reproduction procedure, the more likely the umbilical cord develops in an atypical place or have other abnormalities, a scientist told the 23rd Annual Conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. Mrs. Ilse Delbaere, from Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium, said that the study, including over 4000 twin pregnancies, was the first to examine umbilical cord abnormalities in such a large population.
