| Arthritis / Rheumatology News | |
| In Rheumatoid Arthritis, Steroids Prevent Protein Changes Seen In The Joints Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease where the body begins to attack the joints and organs of the body. Proteins within inflamed joints are often modified by citrullination, a process that converts the protein building block arginine into citrulline. | 28 Jan 2012 |
| Autism News | |
| Family History Of Psychiatric Disorders May Shape Intellectual Interests A hallmark of the individual is the cultivation of personal interests, but for some people, their intellectual pursuits might actually be genetically predetermined. Survey results published by Princeton University researchers in the journal PLoS ONE suggest that a family history of psychiatric conditions such as autism and depression could influence the subjects a person finds engaging. | 28 Jan 2012 |
| Evolved, Mutated Gene Module Linked To Syndromic Autism A team led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine reports that newly discovered mutations in an evolved assembly of genes cause Joubert syndrome, a form of syndromic autism. | 28 Jan 2012 |
| Biology / Biochemistry News | |
| One Of Life's Molecular Mysteries Mapped By Scientists All living organisms are made up of cells, behind these intricate life forms lie complex cellular processes that allow our bodies to function. Researchers working on protein secretion - a fundamental process in biology - have revealed how protein channels in the membrane are activated by special signals contained in proteins destined for secretion. | 28 Jan 2012 |

| Mutation Drives Viral Sensors To Initiate Autoimmune Disease A new study uses a mouse model of a human autoimmune disease to reveal how abnormal regulation of the intracellular sensors that detect invading viruses can lead to autoimmune pathology. The research, published online in the journal Immunity by Cell Press, provides key insight into mechanisms that underlie the development of autoimmune disease and may lead to more effective strategies for therapeutic intervention. | 28 Jan 2012 |
