      <title>Small protein may have big role in making more bone and less fat</title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:39 -0400</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[A small protein may have a big role in helping you make more bone and less fat, researchers say. "The pathways are parallel, and the idea is if you can somehow disrupt the fat production pathway, you will get more bone," says Dr. Xingming Shi, bone biologist at the Medical College of Georgia Institute of Molecular Medicine and Genetics.He's found the short-acting protein GILZ appears to make this desirable shift and wants to better understand how it does it with the long-term goal of targeted therapies for osteoporosis, obesity and maybe more.

      <title>Immune molecule that plays a powerful role in avoiding organ rejection identified</title>
      <pubDate>Mon, 16 Jun 2008 14:38 -0400</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[When a mouse's immune system is deciding whether to reject a skin graft, one powerful member of a molecular family designed to provoke such a response can effectively reduce the visibility of the mouse's own cells and help the graft survive, researchers say. "This is a molecule with huge potential to regulate immune response," Dr. Anatolij Horuzsko, reproductive immunologist at the Medical College of Georgia Center for Molecular Chaperone/Radiobiology and Cancer Virology, says of HLA-G dimer.

      <title>Zebrafish enable scientists to study the migration of neurons that enable sexual maturity</title>
      <pubDate>Wed, 04 Jun 2008 12:09 -0400</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[Scientists are watching a small group of neurons that enable sexual maturity and fertility make a critical journey: from where they form, near the developing nose, to deep inside the brain. They believe their studies in the transparent embryo of the zebrafish will help explain why some neurons don’t make it and enable better ways to help children who don’t sexually mature as a result.

      <title>Old antibiotic may find new life as a stroke treatment</title>
      <pubDate>Mon, 19 May 2008 13:21 -0400</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[An old intravenous antibiotic may have new life as a stroke treatment, researchers say. Minocycline appears to reduce stroke damage in multiple ways – inhibiting white blood cells and enzymes that, at least acutely, can destroy brain tissue and blood vessels, respectively, says Dr. David Hess, chair of the Department of Neurology in the Medical College of Georgia School of Medicine. The broad-spectrum antibiotic also seems to reduce cell suicide in the minutes and hours following a stroke, enabling more cells to recover.
