Research conducted by Eldo Kuzhikandathil, assistant professor of pharmacology at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, suggests that levamisole may indirectly increase the number of D1 dopamine receptors in the brain by affecting gene expression there. "Cocaine increases D1 expression," he says, "and this would probably accentuate that," which could enhance both highs and craving...
...Harvard researchers applied an innovative Bayesian modeling method to gene sequences from both untreated HIV patients and those treated with drugs. Having ran a comprehensive computer search for over a month, the researchers looked for patterns of mutation that were more prevalent among the treated patients—the more common the mutation, the greater the probability of it being responsible for the drug resistance, according to Jun Liu, a professor of statistics at the Harvard School of Public Health and one of the authors of the paper...
...Rohmer's films: "You have to see one of them, and if you kind of like that one, then you should see his other ones. But you need to see one to see if you like it." He makes Rohmer's movies sound less like caviar, more like artichokes. Gene Hackman, in his role as a detective in Arthur Penn's 1975 Night Moves, is even more dismissive. "I saw a Rohmer film once," he says. "It was kind of like watching paint...
Previously, using an approach similar to CMS, Sabeti’s lab had localized a mutation in a gene called EDAR that may be responsible for Asians having less body hair. Sabeti also cited genes influencing lactose intolerance and malaria resistance as areas her team has already researched and hopes to further shed light on with...
...This represents significant progress on a very difficult problem,” said Hartl, whose research also focuses on how gene evolution affects organisms at the molecular level...
