Mutant Sperm Guide Clinicians To New Diseases
Some rearrangements of the human genome occur more frequently than previously thought. The work is likely to lead to new identification of genes involved in disease and to improve diagnosis of genomic disease. Researchers looked at four regions in the genome where rearrangements cause so-called "genomic disorders,"and found that some rearrangements were found in sperm much more frequently than expected. Signaling decreases blood pressure, study finds
Blood pressure is controlled in part by changes in the radius of blood vessels; when the smooth muscle cells in the wall of a blood vessel contract, the radius of the blood vessel decreases and blood pressure increases. Researchers have now identified in mice a new signaling pathway that contributes to relaxation of smooth muscle cells in blood vessel walls triggered by the molecule NO and thereby decreases blood pressure.

Estrogen And Exercise Promote Leanness In Similar Ways

Screening For Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms In Women May Save Lives
In nine out of 10 cases, a burst abdominal aortic artery is quickly fatal for its most common victim: elderly males. A new study -- the largest yet performed -- now confirms that women over 65 with a history of smoking or heart disease are also at high risk for an abdominal aortic aneurysm -- supporting the notion that they should also receive ultrasound screening to help spot and correct the dangerous condition. Paris Insights: Summer Strawberries

Primates With Donor Eggs' Mitochondria: Breakthrough Could Help Preven
Researchers believe they have developed one of the first forms of genetic therapy -- a therapy aimed at preventing serious diseases in unborn children. Specifically, the therapy would combat inherited diseases passed on from mothers to their children through mutated DNA in cell mitochondria.
