- 3From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedCopy number variants are a recently discovered source of large-scale genomic diversity present in all individuals. We capitalize on these inherent genomic differences, focusing on deletion polymorphisms, to develop...
- 4From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedCarrasquillo, M.M. et al. Nat. Genet. published online, doi:10.1038/ng.305 (11 January) A variant in a gene on the X chromosome is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease specifically in women....
- 5From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedA molecular pathway requiring vitamin B3 increases the production of neutrophils (pages 151-158). These findings could lead to new ways to treat neutropenias, diseases involving low neutrophil counts. Neutrophils are...
- 6From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedDec 22 A genetic analysis of about 1,000 people in southeastern China--half of whom had lung cancer--found that those with the illness were about twice as likely to have certain mutations in genes known as ABCB1 and...

- 8From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedWe identified nicotinamide phosphor ibosyltransferase (NAMPT), also known as pre-13 cell colony enhancing factor (PBEF), as an essential enzyme mediating granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-triggered...
- 9From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedThe days are now getting longer in the US, but flu season is not yet over. Fortunately, many people at particular risk from influenza virus infection--young children, the elderly and the immune compromised--can have...
- 10From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedScientists have long proposed a link between reduced metabolic activity in the brain and Alzheimer's disease. Tracy O'Connor et al. now outline a potential mechanism: eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2a (eIF2a),...

- 13From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedDec 29 Researchers from the University of Wisconsin--Madison identified three viral replication genes--called PA, PB1 and PB2--that were probably responsible for the deadly nature of the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic,...
- 14From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedFoust, K.D. et al. Nat. Biotechnol. published online, doi:10.1038/nbt.1515 (21 December 2008) Researchers have achieved the difficult task of delivering genes across the blood-brain barrier to the brain and spinal...
- 15From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedJan 9 News sources reported the birth of the first British baby screened before embryo implantation to be free of a variation in the BRCA1 gene that increases the risk of developing breast cancer by up to 80%....
- 16From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedBone strength in adults is maintained through the proper balance of continuous bone formation and resorption (1). An imbalance favoring resorption over formation results in osteoporosis--loss of bone mass--a condition...
- 17From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedKim, S. et al. Nature 457,102-106. The extracellular matrix proteoglycan versican, which is upregulated in many human tumors, activates TLRs. As a result, myeloid cells produce tumor necrosis factor-α, enhancing...
- 18From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedJan 1 Using fluorescent probes in rat tissues, scientists found evidence that myosin might not be necessary for actin protein to activate heartbeats, meaning that the mechanism might be simpler than previously thought...
- 19From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedA main function of white adipose tissue is to release fatty acids from stored triacylglycerol for other tissues to use as an energy source. Whereas endocrine regulation of lipolysis has been extensively studied,...
