‘Activating’ RNA takes DNA on a loop through time and space

Posted: Published on February 18th, 2013

Public release date: 17-Feb-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Greg Lester glester@wistar.org 215-898-3934 The Wistar Institute Long segments of RNA encoded in our DNA but not translated into proteinare key to physically manipulating DNA in order to activate certain genes, say researchers at The Wistar Institute. These non-coding RNA-activators (ncRNA-a) have a crucial role in turning genes on and off during early embryonic development, researchers say, and have also been connected with diseases, including some cancers, in adults. In an online article of the journal Nature, a team of scientists led by Wistar's Ramin Shiekhattar, Ph.D., detail the mechanism by which long non-coding RNA-activators promote gene expression. They show how these RNA molecules help proteins in the cell to create a loop of DNA in order to open up genes for transcription. Their experiments have also described how particular ncRNA-a molecules are related to FG syndrome, a genetic disease linked to severe neurological and physical deficits. "These ncRNA-activators can activate specific genes by working with large protein complexes, filling in a big piece of the puzzle," said Shiekhattar, Herbert Kean, M.D., Family Professor and senior author of the study. "Our DNA encodes thousands of these ncRNA-activators, each with … Continue reading →

Recent Daiichi Sankyo News

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2013

Daiichi Sankyo is establishing the new company with Innovation Network Corporation of Japan (INCJ) and Mitsubishi UFJ Capital Co., Ltd. (MUC). INCJ will underwrite third party allocation of new shares for the new company with a maximum investment of 1.65 billion yen. The new company will also issue new shares by third party allocation for a fund managed by MUC. Daiichi Sankyo will invest in the new company and mainly conduct development with the goal of achieving proof of concept (POC) for clinical drug development. In 2006, professor Masafumi Matsuo (Kobe Gakuin University Department of Medical Rehabilitation) and designated professor Yasuhiro Takeshima (Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics) were the first in the world to demonstrate the effectiveness of anti-sense oligonucleotides to restore dystrophin expression in DMD sufferers through the mechanism known as exon skipping. Daiichi Sankyo and Orphan Disease Treatment Institute will jointly conduct clinical and non-clinical studies with the cooperation and support of these two professors with the aim of achieving POC.

What happens during a stroke

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2013

By Jacque Wilson, CNN updated 8:00 AM EST, Sun February 17, 2013 In an ischemic stroke, a blockage in a blood vessel stops essential oxygen and nutrients from reaching the brain. STORY HIGHLIGHTS (CNN) -- A stroke is a very scary thing: A vessel carrying blood to the brain becomes blocked or bursts, leaving the brain deprived of the essential oxygen and nutrients it needs to survive. In the minutes following a stroke, brain cells begin to die. Strokes are the No. 1 cause of disability and the No. 4 cause of death in the United States, according to the American Stroke Association. But knowing the risk factors and symptoms of a stroke can play a huge role in reducing the potentially devastating effects. Types of strokes There are two main types of strokes: ischemic and hemorrhagic, according to the stroke association. Ischemic strokes account for 87% of all stroke cases. When a blood vessel becomes blocked by fatty deposits, blood has trouble passing through to the brain. An ischemic stroke is caused by this obstruction. A thrombotic ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot forms at the blocked part of a vessel. An embolic ischemic stroke occurs when a … Continue reading →

Walking again after spinal injury

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2013

Public release date: 17-Feb-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Hillary Sanctuary hillary.sanctuary@epfl.ch 41-797-034-809 Ecole Polytechnique Fdrale de Lausanne In the lab, rats with severe spinal cord injury are learning to walkand runagain. Last June in the journal Science, Grgoire Courtine, of the cole Polytechnique Fdrale de Lausanne (EPFL), reported that rats in his lab are not only voluntarily initiating a walking gait, but they were sprinting, climbing up stairs, and avoiding obstacles after a couple of weeks of neurorehabilitation with a combination of a robotic harness and electricalchemical stimulation. Now, at the 2013 Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Boston, Courtine describes this research in detail and the next steps towards clinical trials to be done in Switzerland. Courtine holds the International Paraplegic Foundation (IRP) Chair in Spinal Cord Repair at EPFL. At AAAS, in a symposium titled, Engineering the Nervous System: Solutions to Restore Sight, Hearing, and Mobility, he outlines the range of neuroprosthetic technologies developed in his lab, which aim to restore voluntary control of locomotion after severe spinal cord injury. He explains how he and his colleagues are interfacing the central nervous system with stretchable spinal electrode arrays … Continue reading →

Parkinson's workshop in city

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2013

Parkinson's disease needs multi-disciplinary treatment that takes into account not only physical disorders but also social complications created in its wake, said doctors at a workshop in the city. "A team of specialists, including neurologists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, psychologists and specially trained nurses are now involved in treatment of Parkinson's disease," said K. Ray Chaudhuri, head, National Parkinsons Foundation, Centre of Excellence, Kings College Hospital, London. He was in the city to attend the weeklong workshop at Medica Superspecialty Hospital. Apart from movement disorders, some common side effects of the disease are pain, problems in sleeping, dementia and depression. "The children of many elderly patients are working outside and there is lack of quality care," said city-based neurosurgeon L.N. Tripathi. According to doctors, 12 out of 100,000 people in Calcutta suffer from Parkinson's disease. One to two per cent of the population above 60 years are affected by the disease. The doctors also discussed new drugs being used in treating Parkinson's disease. Apomorphine and Levodopa Infusion are two of the popular drugs in the UK. Apomorphine works like insulin. A pump, attached to the patient's body, administers it for a period of 12 to 24 hours. Levodopa Infusion is administered … Continue reading →
