Scientists find a fingerprint of evolution across the human genome The Human Genome Project revealed that only a small fraction of the 3 billion 'letter' DNA code actually instructs cells to manufacture proteins, the workhorses of most life processes. This has raised the question of what the remaining part of the human genome does. How much of the rest performs other biological functions, and how much is merely residue of prior genetic events' Biologynews.net Wednesday, April 09, 2008
How to identify the look of love -- or lustLONDON, April 9 (Reuters Life!) - Members of the opposite sex can spot whether someone is after a one-night stand or something more permanent just by looking at their face, scientists said on Wednesday. Reuters Wednesday, April 09, 2008
Researchers Flesh Out Parkinson's Treatment Using Skin Cells [News]Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) report that they silenced symptoms of Parkinson's disease in rats using skin cells from an adult mouse that they reprogrammed to act like embryonic stem cells.

Hepatitis B Virus Triggers Cell 'Suicide' In Patients With Chronic InfectionScientists from UCL (University College London) have identified a key difference between people who can fight the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) off successfully and those who fail to do so - that a group of cells important in controlling the disease are triggered to 'commit suicide' in patients who are chronically infected. This discovery provides an important new focus for developing therapies or vaccines that boost the body's ability to manage this infection. Medicalnewstoday.com Wednesday, April 09, 2008

''Exciting New Approach'' For Identifying MicroRNAs - PhD Student At MDC Develops New Computer ProgramMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are genes which produce important elements that regulate a wide variety of processes in plants, animals and humans. MiRNAs are considered to be promising diagnostic and therapeutic candidates for the treatment of human diseases. Worldwide, scientists are seeking to develop methods to detect which miRNAs are active in tissue samples or to identify novel miRNA genes. Medicalnewstoday.com Wednesday, April 09, 2008
