A team of investigators from Columbia, Rockefeller and Stanford Universities has identified a new gene involved in hair growth, as reported in a paper in the April 15 issue of Nature.

Isolated DNA Claims are Not Patentable, US
A federal judge on Monday struck down patents on two genes -- BRCA1 and BRCA2 -- linked to breast and ovarian cancer. Shares of Myriad Genetics (MYGN.O) fell as much as 7 percent, a day after the ruling.

Kalbitor, ecallantide, approved for treating hereditary angioedema

Women opt surgery to remove breasts, ovaries to reduce cancer risk
Many women at high risk for breast or ovarian cancer are choosing to undergo surgery as a precautionary measure to decrease their cancer risk, revealed by US researchers.

Breast cells responsible for breast cancers
Breast cells called luminal progenitor cells are likely to be responsible for breast cancers that develop in women carrying mutations in the gene BRCA1, revealed by researchers.

Complete response letter for Cinryze for hereditary angioedema
ViroPharma Incorporated (Nasdaq: VPHM) announced that it has received a Complete Response letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) related to its supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Cinryze(TM) (C1 esterase inhibitor [human]) as a treatment for acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE).

ATryn from milk of goats approved to treat hereditary antithrombin deficiency
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued its first approval for a biological product produced by genetically engineered (GE) animals.

DNA could reveal your surname and family links
Scientists at the world-leading Department of Genetics at the University of Leicester – where the revolutionary technique of genetic fingerprinting was invented by Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys - are developing techniques which may one day allow police to work out someone's surname from the DNA alone.

Gene identified for hair loss in hypotrichosis simplex
A healthy individual loses around a hundred hairs a day. Nothing to worry about as long as they are constantly replaced and the losses occur evenly around the whole scalp. But when hair loss goes well beyond this level it can become quite a problem for those affected – not only superficially in terms of looks but also psychologically.
