Knockouts in Human Cells Point to Pathogenic Targets researchers have developed a new type of genetic screen for human cells to pinpoint specific genes and proteins used by pathogens, according to their paper in Science. In most human cell cultures genes are present in two copies: one inherited from the father and one from the mother. Gene inactivation by mutation is therefore inefficient because when one copy is inactivated, the second copy usually remains active and takes over. In yeast... Read Full Story

Most people who develop it have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or they have been exposed to asbestos dust and fibre in other ways, such as by washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos. It is a serious disease with an average survival time of only 1 to 2 years after diagnosis. Unlike lung cancer, there is no association between mesothelioma... Read Full Story
