Regenerative Potential Is a Trait of Mature Tissues, Not an Innate Feature of Newly Born Cells

Diabetes researchers have found that the ability of insulin-producing beta cells to replicate and respond to elevated glucose concentrations is absent in very young animals and does not appear until after weaning.  More...

Image: Comparing sections of cortex from a control mouse (left) to a mouse with a presenilin-1 mutation (right). The dashed line indicates the surface of the brain. Presenilin-1 mutations decrease gamma-secretase activity and cause features of neurodegeneration, including shrinkage of the cortex, as shown above (Photo courtesy of Dr. Raymond Kelleher and Dr. Jie Shen, Harvard Medical School).

Presenilin Gene Mutation Linked to Familial form of Alzheimer's Disease

Results obtained in studies using a genetically engineered mouse model of hereditary Alzheimer's disease pointed to the importance of reduced gamma-secretase activity caused by a mutation in the presenilin gene.  More...

The Captureseq Technique Is More Accurate for Low Expressing Genes and Long Non-Coding RNAs

The powerful new CaptureSeq technique for gene analysis was shown to be superior for detecting and quantifying genes with low expression while showing little technical variation and accurately measured differential expression of long non-coding RNAs.  More...
