After a focal demyelination of the corpus callosum in adult mice, the demyelinated axons form functional excitatory synapses onto adult-born oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. This input is lost later on.

The vaccines were produced much more quickly than the current method using eggs.  Insect cell system also provides less allergy effects and better overall safety.

According to a reuters news article, a group of Dutch and Swedish scientists found the mother of all skin cells in the form of a type of stem cells in the follicles.

Selecting for high affinity and specificity binding molecules such as antibodies, aptamers, or antibody fragments/equivalents is a demanding process and any major progress should almost certainly result in interest from pharmaceutical companies looking for new drug candidates.

MicroRNAs interact with Argonaute proteins to guide posttranscriptional gene silencing. Eiring et al. (2010) now show that miR-328 has a second function, acting as a decoy by binding to hnRNP E2 and lifting its translational repression of an mRNA involved in myeloid cell differentiation. (Cell)

A coveted mainstay in any life-sciences toolbox, green fluorescent protein (GFP) has replaced many dyes in biological studies because it is non-toxic and can function as a reporter of expression when attached to a gene of interest.

We started 2009's vendor show series at Salk, it would be only appropriate to also complete it there, one of favorite places!   Check our our new products, new look, and new sales person--introducing Christiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiina!  Go say hello to her and give her some encouragement while enjoying food and coffee!

By measuring 163 metabolite concentrations and ratios in serum and use them as metabolic traits, SNPs were identified that provided what Illig et al. called “genetically determined metabotypes”.
