Researchers identify genetic markers to predict male fertility

May 23, 2012
The diagnosis of male fertility is usually performed through the observation of the sperm in the microscope. However, a normal quality semen does not guarantee an adequate fertility. In fact, there is a considerable proportion of cases of unexplained infertility and data suggest that abnormal sperm function may have a ...

Scientists identify key mechanism in development of Alzheimer’s

May 23, 2012
New research by scientists at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-School of Osteopathic Medicine (UMDNJ-SOM) demonstrates how dying or damaged brain cells release debris into the bloodstream and give rise to specific autoantibodies that appear to be reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative ...

Researchers identify genetic marker linked with smoking quantity in African Americans

May 23, 2012
In a step toward understanding possible genetic differences in smoking behaviors, a team of researchers co-led by SRI International has identified a genetic marker associated with smoking quantity in people of African ancestry.

Researchers identify novel biomarkers that could confirm exposure to radiation

May 23, 2012
Researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin have identified novel biomarkers that could be used to confirm exposure to damaging radiation in large groups of people potentially exposed to unknown and variable doses for the purpose of triage and treatment.

Researchers identify genetic markers to predict male fertility

May 23, 2012
(IDIBELL-Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute) A study performed by scientists at the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute and the Puigvert Foundation has identified a gene expression fingerprint associated with very low pregnancy rates in semen donors with normal seminal quality.

In future, phones can identify the Troubadour on the tree top

May 22, 2012
In spring, the sound of birds serenading fills the air. The Department of Signal Processing and Acoustics is developing a system that can recognize a bird species based on a song segment. The system can be put to use by nature enthusiasts and biologists monitoring bird populations.

Blood Test May Help Identify Mothers At Risk Of Post Natal Depression

May 21, 2012
About one in seven new mothers suffer from postnatal depression (PND), a condition that usually starts about two weeks after childbirth. A simple, accurate blood test to determine which women may be most at risk could soon be developed due to the discovery Warwick University researchers' made when they examined ...

Researchers Identify New Key Mechanism In Cell Division

May 21, 2012
Researchers from the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) have identified the mechanism by which protein Zds1 regulates a key function in mitosis, the process that occurs immediately before cell division. The result has been achieved in the online edition of the Journal of Cell Science and opens the door to ...

Scientists identify new target to battle rheumatoid arthritis

May 20, 2012
A new study led by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery identifies the mechanism by which a cell signaling pathway contributes to the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In addition, the study provides evidence that drugs under development for diseases such as cancer could potentially be used to treat RA. ...

Common genetic variants identify autism risk in high risk siblings of children with ASD

May 17, 2012
Toronto, CANADA (May 17, 2012) By focusing on the identification of common genetic variants, researchers have identified 57 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that predictwith a high degree of certainty--the risk that siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) will also develop the condition. The findings were ...
