This document discusses two scientific articles about important discoveries related to gene regulation and cell division: 1) A new method was able to pinpoint specific proteins that attach to DNA in nucleosomes and regulate gene expression important for replication, transcription, and translation in both healthy and diseased cells. Understanding these proteins provides insight into the human genome and potential new treatments. 2) Improper cell division due to errors in mitosis can result in fragmented or "pulverized" chromosomes, which has been linked to cancer. This research area may help understand cancer development and identify new therapy targets exploiting vulnerabilities in cancer cells.

Scientists have made progress in mapping the cancer genome and identifying genetic markers for lupus. A study identified many new genetic markers for lupus by analyzing over 27,000 people of European, African, and Hispanic descent. Separately, scientists evaluated algorithms used to analyze the cancer genome, finding that subgene algorithms provide a high-resolution view of how mutations in the same gene can lead to different health outcomes depending on location. Genetic mapping provides medical utility by aiding the discovery of drug targets and enabling targeted research in populations with high disease risk.

Recent studies have utilized small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) through the Integrated Diffraction Analysis Technologies facility to inform the design of dynamic protein cages in solution and understand the structure and regulation of epigenetic pathways. Additional work has characterized the molecular architecture of fertilization complexes and components of the non-homologous end joining DNA repair pathway.
Unit 6 thyroid cancer
Kirsty died of thyroid cancer. Risk factors for thyroid cancer include exposure to radiation through medical treatments, family history, and accumulated radiation exposure from airport security scanners. Those operating security scanners daily may be at higher risk than the general public. Thyroid cancer rates are increasing in the US, with around 30,000 new cases yearly. Knowing family history is important for early detection since thyroid cancer often shows few symptoms, which can include neck lumps or breathing issues. Had Kirsty known her family history and been aware of her risk factors, she may have detected symptoms earlier.

Mining Gene Expression Data Focusing Cancer Therapeutics: A Digest
An understanding towards genetics and epigenetics is essential to cope up with the paradigm shift which is underway. Personalized medicine and gene therapy will confluence the days to come.
This review highlights traditional approaches as well as current advancements in the analysis of the gene expression data from cancer perspective.
Due to improvements in biometric instrumentation and automation, it has become easier to collect a lot of experimental data in molecular biology.
Analysis of such data is extremely important as it leads to knowledge discovery that can be validated by experiments. Previously, the diagnosis of complex genetic diseases has conventionally been done based on the non-molecular characteristics like kind of tumor tissue, pathological characteristics, and clinical phase.
The microarray data can be well accounted for high dimensional space and noise. Same were the reasons for ineffective and imprecise results. Several machine learning and data mining techniques are presently applied for identifying cancer using gene expression data.
While differences in efficiency do exist, none of the well-established approaches is uniformly superior to others. The quality of algorithm is important, but is not in itself a guarantee of the quality of a specific data analysis.

This document discusses how cells can combat chromosome imbalance and discusses potential medical applications. It describes how researchers discovered that when cells detect genetic problems in their chromosomes, they signal nearby natural killer cells to destroy them, preventing conditions like cancer. The document also discusses how new technologies may help treat diseases like Parkinson's by using synthetic materials or coded DNA to signal stem cells to proliferate or differentiate into targeted cell types like neurons. This could help develop regenerative treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and other conditions.
Stem cells
This document discusses stem cells and their therapeutic applications. It begins by explaining how the early embryo develops from a single cell through cell division and differentiation. It then defines different types of stem cells based on their potency. The document presents two case studies of using stem cells therapeutically: one for treating Stargardt's macular degeneration by injecting retinal stem cells, and one for treating leukemia by harvesting a patient's stem cells and reintroducing them after chemotherapy. Finally, it discusses the sources of stem cells including embryonic, adult, and induced pluripotent stem cells as well as the ongoing ethical debate around stem cell research.
Genetic engineering of humans
This document discusses genetic engineering of humans through various methods such as germline genetic modification and somatic genetic modification. It notes both the promising applications for improving health through gene therapy but also the ethical concerns regarding enhancing traits and the possibility of genetic inequality. Specific examples discussed include using CRISPR to genetically modify human embryos to potentially treat disease as well as concerns about "designer babies". The document examines issues around testing for non-disease traits, gene doping in athletes, and the potential benefits and risks of human gene editing technologies.

A new technique called CHIP-EXO has been developed to precisely map the location of gene-regulating proteins along chromosomes. This provides an unprecedented view of how genes are regulated. The technique is able to pinpoint binding sites with single nucleotide resolution across millions of nucleotides in genomes. This gives a much more complete picture of which genes are regulated by particular proteins.
An international team has found that some bacteria like Agrobacterium tumefaciens grow in a polar manner with new cell growth occurring at one end rather than uniformly along the length as previously believed. Time-lapse microscopy revealed that daughter cells inherit the surface proteins of the parent cell while new daughter cells produce new surface proteins. This polar growth was observed
Chromosomes and Chromatin
The document discusses two recent discoveries related to genetics and disease. Researchers discovered a mechanism of gene silencing in hormone-dependent breast cancer cells involving a protein that interacts with the progesterone receptor and compacts chromatin. Scientists also discovered an X-chromosome inherited form of brittle bone disease osteogenesis imperfecta caused by two mutations in the MBTPS2 gene on the X chromosome, making men more vulnerable. These findings provide insights that can help improve diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.

Biology and medicine have a close relationship where biology serves as an important tool for medicine. Studies on cellular metabolism and the role of proteins in cell division have helped further our understanding of diseases from the beginning. Research on a single protein that controls genetic networks essential for sperm development found that without this protein, sperm development is abnormal. A separate study on mitochondrial diseases found they are becoming more frequent and costly to healthcare systems, highlighting the need for improved prevention and treatment strategies. Advances in understanding basic biological mechanisms allow for more effective diagnosis and management of illnesses.
Stem Cells: A Dynamic Landscape
Cellular and gene therapies are now on the cusp of realizing the early promise of treating, and perhaps curing diseases that previously had little or no available therapeutic options. However, the journey from the laboratory to the clinic has been bumpy, with a history of disappointments, especially in the early 1990's where gene therapy had received much hype and publicity.
Folding
The document discusses two scientific studies:
1) A study that used the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system to simultaneously disrupt two target genes in monkey embryos, paving the way for valuable human disease models. Researchers were able to generate mutations in targeted genes without off-target effects.
2) A study showing that activating the tumor suppressor p53 in normal cells causes them to secrete the potent tumor suppressor Par-4, which induces cell death in p53-deficient cancer cells. This suggests a potential approach for preventing therapy resistance in tumors.
Great summary on the current adoption of stem cell therapies
This document summarizes a master's thesis that explored the global adoption of mesenchymal stem cell-based treatments. The author conducted interviews with 8 clinical, scientific, and industry experts from countries influencing the stem cell field. Key findings indicated that MSC therapies are driven by their clinical safety but adoption is hampered by insufficient knowledge and unadjusted regulations. Experts suggested focusing on data gathering, a global regulatory framework, and an international registry to support evidence collection and utilization. Global cooperation is needed to establish standards that can facilitate the adoption of MSC-based therapies.
JALANov2000
This document provides an overview of the November 2000 issue of JALA (Journal of Analytical Laboratories Automation). It describes the development of a novel robotic system for the New York Cancer Project biorepository in collaboration with the Medical Automation Research Center. The biorepository receives 50-100 blood samples per day which are processed robotically to extract, quantify, aliquot and store DNA, plasma and RNA to be accessible to investigators. The robotic system aims to provide rapid random access to the hundreds of thousands of DNA samples stored for high-throughput analysis in studies of gene-environment interactions and cancer risk.
Folding
The document discusses recent discoveries in DNA and stem cells that are enabling new cancer treatments. It describes how the protein MutL helps repair DNA errors, and how this relates to hereditary cancers. It also discusses how stem cell research is helping understand tumor risk from stem cell therapies by identifying pathways for stem cell self-propagation and differentiation. The discoveries provide opportunities to develop targeted cancer therapies and better understand genetic diseases and stem cell behavior.
The central-dogma-oh-genetic-information
The central dogma of genetics describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins. Two articles discuss cancer-causing mechanisms related to this dogma. One found that the enzyme APOBEC3G can induce mutations during DNA replication that lead to cancer. The other identified that cancer cells rely on the protein SMARCAL1 to resolve replication stress and maintain telomere length through the ALT pathway. Further research is needed to identify targets of these carcinogenic processes to develop new treatment strategies.
A Stem Cell Technology Model
Stem cell technology has the potential to transform treatment for many chronic diseases and conditions. However, it also raises ethical issues such as the destruction of human embryos to derive embryonic stem cells. Recently, scientists discovered a novel method to derive stem cell-like cells from human skin cells, avoiding ethical issues. This breakthrough advances stem cell research and provides solutions for ethical concerns. The evolution of stem cell technology demonstrates the intersection between science and society, where scientific progress requires consideration of social issues.
Folding
The document discusses recent discoveries related to DNA and stem cells that are allowing for new therapeutic approaches to cancer management. Specifically, it discusses how discoveries of the protein MutL, which helps repair DNA errors, and how mutations in genes encoding DNA repair proteins can lead to cancers. It also discusses how researchers have identified a new stem cell signaling pathway that may help lower tumor risks in stem cell therapies by reducing formation of teratomas during stem cell differentiation.
Medical sciences and health care
1. Advances in medical science over the past century have led to profound improvements in understanding anatomy, physiology, diseases and treatments. However, these advances have also raised complex ethical, legal and moral questions.
2. Emerging technologies like stem cell research, cloning, nanotechnology, IVF and surrogacy hold promise for treating diseases but are highly controversial. Supporters argue they could help many people but opponents believe they disrespect the natural order or the beginning of life.
3. As science progresses, more medical procedures will likely create additional ethical dilemmas around issues like personal privacy, ownership of data and biological materials, appropriate use of new technologies, and their effects on families and society.
Molecular biology
The document summarizes several studies on DNA replication and the molecular machinery involved. It describes how researchers used tools like molecular biology and biochemistry to slow down and "freeze" the replication process at intermediate steps. This allowed them to observe conformational changes in proteins like the origin recognition complex (ORC) as it recruits the helicase enzyme to unwind DNA. Cryo-electron microscopy was then used to capture 3D structures of the protein components and reveal how they interact during replication initiation. The studies provide new insights into this critical cellular process.
Plegable Biología Molecular
The document discusses several topics related to proteins and medical research. It describes the structure of proteins, the protein RAF-1 which is essential for blood vessel formation, the process of angiogenesis, and how this relates to tumor development. It also discusses the protein PGC-1 alpha and the hormone irisin which are linked to exercise and health benefits, and how isolating these proteins could lead to new treatment methods for diseases like obesity and cancer. Finally, it talks about how recent medical advances and research using body proteins/molecules could help promote healthier lifestyles and reduce disease rates.

- Biologics are large, complex molecules produced by living cells that are used to treat diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. They differ from chemically-derived drugs in their production method, structure, and potential for immune reactions.
- The production of biologics is more difficult than chemical drugs due to their sensitivity and the variability in living production systems. Their structure is heterogeneous and difficult to characterize fully.
- The targets of biologics are genes or proteins involved in disease processes. Their mechanism of action involves manipulating genetic or protein-based pathways through recombinant DNA technology or other methods.
PROTEINS (Molecular Biology)
The document discusses two studies related to protein synthesis and cancer. The first study developed a new method to selectively silence genes encoding proteins to determine their function in tumor cells. The second study identified the protein components responsible for inserting membrane proteins, resolving a mechanism that was previously unknown. Understanding protein functions and interactions is important for gaining insights into the origins of cancer and developing prevention and treatment strategies.
