Gene therapy: Editing out genetic damage

Jan. 31, 2013 ? New design guidelines from researchers in Singapore simplify the development of targeted therapies for muscular dystrophy and other diseases.

The dystrophin protein offers critical support to muscle fibers. Mutations affecting dystrophin's expression cause the muscle-wasting disease muscular dystrophy. In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), these mutations take the form of small sequence changes that make much of the dystrophin gene (DMD) untranslatable, yielding nonfunctional protein or no protein at all.

Therapies based on a strategy known as 'exon skipping' could undo the damage from these mutations. Development of such treatments is set to accelerate, thanks to research by a team led by Keng Boon Wee of the A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing and Zacharias Pramono of the National Skin Centre in Singapore.

Proteins are translated from messenger RNA transcripts of genes; however, only certain RNA regions -- known as exons -- actually encode protein, and these are enzymatically spliced together prior to translation. Several clinical studies have demonstrated that small 'antisense oligonucleotide' (AON) molecules that bind mutated DMD exons can induce elimination of those defective exons during splicing, yielding shorter but largely functional versions of dystrophin. "We are cautiously optimistic that AON-induced exon skipping could be the first effective therapy for DMD patients," says Wee.

Unfortunately, DMD arises from many different mutations, and targeted AON design remains a time-consuming, trial-and-error process. To address this challenge, Wee and Pramono sought to define the characteristics of AONs that efficiently promote exon-skipping. They used computational analysis to zoom in on exonic sequences that coordinate splicing. They also identified regions of suitable length within dystrophin RNA transcripts that span these sequences and would be accessible to AONs in living cells.

The researchers thus derived a set of guidelines enabling them to effectively design AONs that targeted nine different exons affected in DMD patients. For each exon, at least one AON proved capable of boosting dystrophin expression to clinically relevant thresholds in cultured muscle cells (see image). "Our proposed set of factors resulted in a reasonable success rate of designing efficient AONs -- 61% versus 38% using semi-empirical methods," says Wee. Clinical studies have already demonstrated the promise of efficient exon skipping in treating DMD patients.

Wee notes that other diseases arising from abnormal RNA processing could also benefit from this approach. However, his team is also exploring this method as a general strategy to abort production of disease-causing proteins in cancer and other conditions. "In contrast to small-molecule inhibitor drugs that can target only about 10% of the human genome, this approach could downregulate most human genes," Wee says.

Montana man made up sob story that got him pizza

(AP) ? A Montana man whose tearful reluctance to rob a pizza restaurant earned him free food apparently made up the sob story that gained him the clerk's sympathy.

David Randall Lacey, 35, entered a Papa John's pizza restaurant on Jan. 22 with a bandanna over his face and gave the clerk a note demanding money, Helena police said. He broke down crying and told the clerk he needed the money to support his wife and children, who were hungry. The clerk made him a large pepperoni pizza and some chicken wings as he waited, and the man left.

The Independent Record reports (http://bit.ly/14vlTZr) an investigation found Lacey has no children in Helena and changed his story when he saw how little money was in the cash register ? just $24.56, according to a police report.

Police received a tip that Lacey acknowledged his role in the incident and a clerk picked him out of a lineup. He was arrested Thursday on suspicion of felony robbery. He remained jailed Friday with bail set at $25,000.

Lacey told police he needed the money to buy food, court records said.

Sylvester Stallone Supports Gun Control: 'Bullet To The Head' Star Doesn't See Value In Assault Weapons

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. ? Sylvester Stallone says that despite his "Rambo" image and new shoot-em-up film "Bullet to the Head," he's in favor of new national gun control legislation.

Stallone supported the 1994 "Brady bill" that included a now-expired ban on assault weapons, and hopes that ban can be reinstated.

"I know people get (upset) and go, `They're going to take away the assault weapon.' Who ... needs an assault weapon? Like really, unless you're carrying out an assault. ... You can't hunt with it. ... Who's going to attack your house, a (expletive) army?"

The 66-year-old actor, writer and director said he also hopes for an additional focus on mental health to prevent future mass shootings.

"It's unbelievably horrible, what's happened. I think the biggest problem, seriously, is not so much guns. It's that every one of these people that have done these things in the past 30 years are friggin' crazy. Really crazy! And that's where we've dropped the ball: mental health," he said. "That to me is our biggest problem in the future, is insanity coupled with isolation."

Stallone is now in production on his next project, pairing up with the former "Raging Bull" Robert De Niro for "Grudge Match," about two aging boxers.

"People think it's going to be some geezer brawl. Really? OK, they're in for a surprise. I'm telling you. I've been working on the fight, the choreography. He's taking it deadly serious. Because no one wants to be shown up," Stallone said of De Niro. "It's going to be like a `Rocky' fight. This will be `Rocky 7,' with me fighting ? with Rocky fighting the `Raging Bull.'"

Study Says Romance Can Last In Long-Term Relationships | World ...

Does Romance Have to Die in Your Long-Term Relationship?  This guest article from YourTango was written by Teresa Maples.

Have you settled for companionship in your would-be romantic relationship? Companionship is when you exist in the same home but spend very little time together, and neither of you is particularly satisfied.

Take the stereotypical man-watching-football-while-his-wife-cleans-the-house scenario. She resents that he gets to relax while she slaves to keep the home clean. She complains about him watching football and not helping around the house. He becomes angry and they either argue or physically go to separate rooms to get away from each other. Does this sound familiar?

The good news is that romance doesn?t have to die in your long-term relationship. Find out how below.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I?ve heard countless renditions of the scenario above, where wives and husbands are convinced that companionship?is as good as it gets for married life. Out of desperation, they ask me for help, and here?s what I say.

Research shows that long-term couples who strive for ?love with all the trimmings? enjoy more satisfying relationships. It all starts with this first question: Do you want to be more satisfied in your long-term relationship? If your answer is ?no, ?then stop right here and do not read another word. Keep reading if you would like a more satisfying relationship; it takes awareness and intention to make it happen.

Here are three ways you can foster sparks in your long-term relationship:

1. Ask directly for your needs to be met.

Your partner cannot read your mind. Become aware of your emotional and behavioral patterns in the relationship. Those who pursue often have a fear of abandonment; those who avoid often have a fear of being consumed by another person. Those two types often hook up in relationships.

The pursuer?s greatest need is to feel emotionally connected with his/her partner. The avoider?s greatest need is to stay away from emotional connection. These are opposing needs.

Each person needs to address his/her own fears in the relationship. The pursuer needs to find a way to cope with his/her fear of abandonment and make emotional space for the avoider to take action. The avoider needs to face his/her fear of being overwhelmed emotionally and bridge the emotional gap between him/her and the pursuer. Finding a healthy balance is attainable.

2. Be respectful of yourself and your partner at all times.?

Take a time out if you feel angry or resentful. Journal about your resentments and try to find a solution before talking to your partner. Learn to articulate your feelings in a non-threatening way. Be ready for your partner to say your solution doesn?t work. Ask for his/her solution; he/she might have a great idea. Be a safe person for your partner. Your partner can be your best ally and friend.

3. Choose to bring novelty to your relationship.?

Bring home flowers, take each other on a date, go on an adventure together, spend time doing a project together, ski, hike, bike, craft, take photos of birds ? you get the idea.

It is vitally important to remember your goal of being satisfied in your relationship. Helping your partner feel emotionally safe with you is the key to your satisfaction in a long-term relationship. Bringing novelty will spark the flames of romance only if you both feel emotionally safe and connected.

Magnetic Transistor Could Cut Power Consumption and Make Chips Reprogrammable

one that requires voltage to keep it on, one that requires voltage to keep it off (P channel vs N channel FET's), ones that require current levels to keep it on and off (npn and pnp BJT's)

so to say

"First, keeping the voltage on requires power"

is a broad statement, yea something that uses power requires power

Then

"Second, transistors must be hard-wired into the chips and can't be reconfigured"

well yea, but we have long established configurations of transistors that can be reconfigured to suit needs, its calle

San Francisco 49ers' Road To Super Bowl XLVII

Jim Harbaugh's decision to switch quarterbacks during the San Francisco 49ers' season made all the difference to the two players involved, but you'd hardly tell that such a monumental shift occurred merely by looking at the team's win-loss record.

With Alex Smith under center, the 49ers opened up with a 6-2 record. In their first game back from a Week 9 bye, Smith suffered a concussion against the Rams and second-year, second-stringer Colin Kaepernick took over. That game resulted in a rare tie but San Francisco soon got back to its winning ways. Following two straight Kaepernick-powered wins, Harbaugh chose to go with the "hot hand" even though Smith was available. A week later, coming off a loss to the Rams, Harbaugh decided to stick with Kaepernick and never looked back.

The result? Kaepernick went 5-2 as the starting quarterback to finish the regular season, then delivered two stunning performances in the playoffs leading the 49ers to Super Bowl XLVII.
