The nude mouse tale: Omega-3 fats save the life of a terminal cancer patient

Wednesday, November 09, 2005
Ron Pardini is not a medical doctor. Yet he is seen as a hero by his cancer-stricken neighbor, “D.H.” Pardini helped the 78-year-old after D.H. was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.
“In 2000 he was told by his doctor he had only a few months to live,” said Pardini, a professor of biochemistry and associate director of the Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station. “But five years later, he is still alive, and has even gained a little weight.” Read more...

Research team discovers hormone that causes malaria mosquito to urinate

When a mosquito sucks blood from a human—and only pregnant female mosquitoes do this—it will take in twice its body weight in blood. To decrease this added weight, the mosquito urinates on its victim to release fluids. Researchers have discovered that introducing one of two diuretic hormones, DH31, into the mosquito causes the mosquito to excrete fluid rich in sodium chloride, the main salt in blood. Stimulation of this process when the mosquito is not feeding could make the mosquito die. Implications of this discovery, which is published in September’s issue of the Journal of Experimental Biology, could lead to the development of a pesticide for controlling mosquitoes.

While seeing eight graduates happily start their professional lives or seek further education, the biotechnology program is already welcoming 14 new students to begin their graduate level training with lab work this summer.
Getting hands-on research experience for two full years after their first three years in college is what these students cannot gain from average undergraduate studies. But they get it in this unique five-year program leading to a combined bachelor’s and master’s degree in biotechnology. Read more...

Researchers discover key gene involved in bark beetle pheromone production
By
Melanie Robbins,
Tuesday, June 28, 2005
University of Nevada, Reno scientists have ended a decade-long controversy over the process by which bark beetles make pheromones: they manufacture their own monoterpenes – the fragrant substances plants produce and which are often used in perfumes. It had been thought that insects and other animals were incapable of making these substances.
"The goal of our research is ultimately to control pheromone production," said Gary Blomquist, professor and chair of biochemistry and molecular biology, who co-authored with several members of his department an article that will be published this week(June 27 – July 1) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
