Some brain tumors may be mediated by tiny filament on cells
The study, conducted in mice and in human brain tissue of medulloblastomas, coincides with a study by another team of UCSF scientists showing that the structure, known as primary cilium, also may play...

Read moreMutations in gene linked to ciliopathies
Ciliopathies are a newly emerging group of diseases caused by defects in the function or structure of cellular primary cilia, which are small, cellular appendages of previously unknown function. Examp...
Life Sciences | Read moreScientists Identify Critical Protein Complex in Formation of Cell Cilia
The new report, published this week by Developmental Cell and selected as the featured publication of the open-access online edition, describes how three proteins work together to regulate the formati...
Life Sciences | Read moreRong Li Lab Identifies New Role of Inflammatory Protein in Polycystic Kidney Disease and a Possible Treatment
The discovery was published in the advance online publication of Nature Medicine 15 June. The team showed that a pro-inflammatory cytokine protein — tumor necrosis factor- á (TNF-á) — dis...
Life Sciences | Read moreCan you feel the heat? Your cilia can
Humans and genetically engineered mice lacking functional cilia respond more slowly to physical sensations such as exposure to hot water or a sharp poke with a stick. Results of the study, appearing i...

Submarines have periscopes. Insects have antennae. And increasingly, biologists are finding that most normal vertebrate cells have cilia, small hair-like structures that protrude like antennae into th...
Life Sciences | Read moreTriptolide: A potential drug for polycystic kidney disease
Over 12 million people worldwide suffer from PKD, a genetic disorder that causes uncontrolled growth of cells lining tubules in the kidneys, and results in the formation of many, large fluid-filled cy...
Health and Medicine | Read moreGenetic research at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh reinforces theory of evolution
There are approximately 20,000 pseudogenes in the human and other mammalian genomes. In recent years, there has been growing discussion about the nature of these pseudogenes. The issue centers on whet...
Life Sciences | Read moreA New Way of Looking at Molecular Motors
An innovative method of categorizing myosin—one of three molecular “motors” that produce movement within the cells of the body—has dramatically increased the amount of information available ...
Life Sciences | Read moreScientists find genetic pathway that could lead to drugs for kidney disease
Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara have reported a discovery at the cellular level that suggests possibilities for drug therapy for kidney disease. ...
