New book on ‘The Biology of Heart Disease’ from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press

Posted: Published on December 3rd, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 3-Dec-2014 Contact: Robert Redmond rredmond@cshl.edu 516-422-4101 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory @CSHLnews The heart is the first organ to form in a developing embryo, and all subsequent life processes depend on its proper function. But a range of genetic and environmental factors can lead to its failure. Inherited mutations give rise to congenital heart disease, the most common birth defect, and abnormalities of the adult heart are a leading cause of illness and death in industrialized countries. Written and edited by experts in the field, The Biology of Heart Disease, published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, describes how recent advances in genetics, stem cell biology, and developmental biology are transforming the way we understand and treat heart disease. Contributors review the various cell lineages and molecular networks involved in heart development; the genetic basis of inherited cardiac conditions such as congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and aortic aneurysm; and how various cutting-edge technologies and models are being employed to study heart biology, uncover disease-related processes, and identify therapeutic targets. Topics include tissue engineering, genome editing, stem cells, cardiomyocyte reprogramming, chemically modified RNA, and next-generation DNA sequencing. The authors also consider the process of drug discovery and development, and … Continue reading →

Undergrads earn bronze medal in bioengineering competition

Posted: Published on December 3rd, 2014

Renee Jocic, a senior biology major at UC Santa Cruz, has wanted to do undergraduate research since she was a freshman. Finding a spot in a professor's lab can be challenging, however; so Jocic created her own research experience. She co-founded a team of UCSC undergraduates to compete in an international synthetic biology competition. "Synthetic biology is the idea that you're engineering life," said Rolando Perez, a senior in biomolecular engineering and the other co-founder of the team. "You're harnessing nature to do things nature's never done before." The International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition challenges students to use the techniques of molecular biology to build novel biological systems and operate them in living cells. The UC Santa Cruz team worked to engineer a microbe to produce biofuel from processed plant material. Six of the 14 team members, including Jocic, recently returned from Boston, where their project won a bronze medal in the 2014 iGEM competition (one of 59 bronze medals awarded). David Bernick, a lecturer and researcher in biomolecular engineering at UC Santa Cruz, served as the team's faculty mentor. Bernick said biofuels can play a role in slowing climate change as one component of a carbon-neutral energy system. … Continue reading →

Anatomy Of A Hit: Kelly Clarkson's 'Since U Been Gone'

Posted: Published on December 3rd, 2014

Kelly Clarkson performs during an American Idol broadcast in 2002. Kevin Winter/Getty Images hide caption Kelly Clarkson performs during an American Idol broadcast in 2002. What makes one song sound like another? Sometimes it's coincidence; sometimes it's plagiarism. And sometimes, it's the byproduct of deliberate craftsmanship: building a song piece by piece from distinct styles of music. All of that can make it hard to give a tune a genre. Take Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone," which just turned 10. Even when presented to self-described music nerds, the song was mistaken for one by the Smashing Pumpkins, Pavement or even Parquet Courts. "I always play that riff for friends and they think it's Yeah Yeah Yeahs," Eric Mennel says. "But I go, 'No. It's Kelly Clarkson.' " You'd think a couple of music nerds would recognize this one Clarkson is not exactly an underground artist. But "Since U Been Gone," on her 2004 album Breakaway, borrows a lot from the underground and from other strains of music, too. Max Martin, the Swedish producer behind hits by *NSYNC, Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, had teen pop on lock in the late '90s. Then, the music industry began looking for … Continue reading →

Are Selfies Fueling A Plastic Surgery Boom?

Posted: Published on December 3rd, 2014

Over the weekend, Reuters published a report with a modest thesis: Selfies are driving a huge demand for plastic surgery. The media seems to have largely ignored the rest of the survey's results, which tell us that selfies aren't the main reason people are opting to have more plastic surgery. The crux of the argument was based on a March report from the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS). The AAFPRS report included this alarmist tidbit: "33% of surgeons have seen an increase in requests for plastic surgery as a result of patients being more self aware of their looks because of social media." That's rightthe AAFPRS suggests that selfiesyour reigning Oxford English Dictionary word of the yearare the reason more Americans are going under the knife these days. Which is... strange. Reuters' trend piece, titled "Nip, tuck, click: Demand for U.S. plastic surgery rises in selfie era," does its best to build on the report and draw a direct correlation between selfies and the steady growth of the cosmetic surgery industrial complex. The post opens with an interview with a 34-year-old New York woman who recently got a nose job: "I definitely feel more comfortable right … Continue reading →

UF researchers recruiting local pets for arthritis study

Posted: Published on December 3rd, 2014

ORLANDO, Fla. - If you think your dog is suffering from arthritis, researchers at the University of Floridas Health Science Center want you. [WEB EXTRA: See if your pet meets study criteria | More info on stem cell process ] Well, actually your pet. Your dog may be eligible for a blind study being conducted by the University of Floridas College of Veterinary Medicine. UF veterinarians are looking for 30 dogs, ages 2 to 10 years old, to participate in the next phase of a stem cell therapy project. The dogs must be healthy, 10 to 120 pounds, and should have been diagnosed with elbow arthritis or dysplasia by their local vet. Doctors are injecting stem cells directly into the elbows (front leg joints) of the animals to determine if the treatment will decrease the inflammation and pain associated with elbow dysplasia. Dr. Stanley Kim, a specialist in small animal surgery, says some pets are given a placebo and not even the owner will know if saline or stem cells have been injected into the pets joints until the 6 month study is completed. The dogs are evaluated at one month, three months and then again at six months but … Continue reading →
