3. Are You Stuck With the Genes You Were Born With? November 14, 2008 There’s a rapidly emerging research field centered around ‘epigenetics’. Essentially, this is the ability to modify your genes during your life to change their level of activity. Genes, in and of themselves, are just blueprints. In order to use them you have to make the product that the genes code for. This requires ‘activating’ the gene so that it goes into production mode. Epigenetics refers to the types of modifications we do to our genes that either crank up their productivity or dial it way down. The kicker is that these types of modifications can be heritable. Meaning, the way you m... (read more) Author: Simon Evans

4. Important Facts About Antibodies and Proteins November 11, 2008 Antibodies are a class of proteins formed in the body in response to the presence of antigens, like foreign proteins and other compounds, which are bound to the antigen inactivating it. Though science may have done a lot of advancements in the understanding of molecular biology but still in quite a few cases it is still unable to implicate specific proteins with a disease. By measuring the amount of the specific protein directly, it is possible to measure a true level of gene function. However, when one takes into consideration the large number of post-transnational modifications, huma... (read more) Author: Fabiola Groshan

17. Detailed Information on Malignant Hyperthermia October 17, 2008 Malignant Hyperthermia is a genetic disorder of skeletal muscle, discriminated by a hypermetabolic state, triggered by all volatile anesthetics and suxamethonium. In people with the muscle abnormality, a gene mutation causes muscle cells to have an abnormal protein on their surfaces. The mutation does not affect muscle function significantly until the muscles are exposed to one of several drugs that can trigger a reaction. When a person with this condition is exposed to one of these drugs, calcium stored in muscle cells is released, causing the muscles to contract and stiffen at the same time,...

18. Getting Real with Fake Breasts October 13, 2008 When Christina Applegate discovered she had cancer in one of her breasts and results proved that regardless of chemotherapy and radiation treatments she would most likely have a recurrence, she did not hesitate to have both of her breasts removed. For most women, losing one or both breasts to cancer is not the preferred option, unless extremely necessary; but for Christina, who proved positive for the BRCA1 gene mutation, which oncologists have ruled as the primary indicator for a more likely recurrence of cancer, the least favorable option became her ultimate solution. Between life and b... (read more) Author: Christiene Bowden
