<description><![CDATA[A trio of genome-wide studies -- collectively the largest to date -- have pinpointed a vast array of genetic variation that cumulatively may account for at least one third of the genetic risk for schizophrenia.

<title>Imaging Technique Allows Researchers to Monitor Protein Changes in Mouse Tumors</title>
<link>http://www.nih.gov/news/health/jul2009/nci-01.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[A new imaging technique can monitor, in living mice, the HER2 protein found in above-normal amounts in many cases of breast cancer as well as some ovarian, prostate and lung cancers. This new approach, once validated in mice and pending further experiments, could provide a real-time noninvasive method for identifying tumors in humans who express HER2 and who would be candidates for targeted therapy directed against this protein. It may also provide real-time information that will help clinicians optimize treatment for individual patients. The study, published in the July 2009 issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, was conducted by researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, both parts of the National Institutes of Health.]]></description>

<title>Dynasty: Influenza Virus in 1918 and Today</title>
<link>http://www.nih.gov/news/health/jun2009/niaid-29.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[The influenza virus that wreaked worldwide havoc in 1918-1919 founded a viral dynasty that persists to this day, according to scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. In an article published online on June 29 by the New England Journal of Medicine, authors Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., Jeffery K. Taubenberger, M.D., Ph.D., and David M. Morens, M.D., argue that we have lived in an influenza pandemic era since 1918, and they describe how the novel 2009 H1N1 virus now circling the globe is yet another manifestation of this enduring viral family.]]></description>

<title>Gene Expression Findings a Step Toward Better Classification and Treatment of Juvenile Arthritis</title>
<link>http://www.nih.gov/news/health/jun2009/niams-29.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[Scientists have discovered gene expression differences that could
              lead to better ways to classify, predict outcome, and treat juvenile
              idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Eventually such findings could enable
              doctors to target more aggressive treatment to children at risk
              of more severe arthritis, while those likely to have milder disease
              could be spared the stronger treatments that carry a greater risk
              of side effects. The researchers were supported by the National

This is only the second gene to be identified that affects the risk of familial testicular cancer, and the first gene in a key biochemical pathway.

<title>New Biomarker Method Could Increase the Number of Diagnostic Tests for Cancer</title>
<link>http://www.nih.gov/news/health/jun2009/nci-28.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[A team of researchers has demonstrated that a new method for detecting
              and quantifying protein biomarkers in body fluids may ultimately
              make it possible to screen multiple biomarkers in hundreds of patient
              samples, thus ensuring that only the strongest biomarker candidates
              will advance down the development pipeline. The researchers have
              developed a method with the potential to increase accuracy in detecting
              real cancer biomarkers that is highly reproducible across laboratories
              and a variety of instruments so that cancer can be caught in its

<title>Researchers Identify a Novel Mechanism that Could be Targeted to Prevent Cancer Spread</title>
<link>http://www.nih.gov/news/health/jun2009/nci-25.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[Researchers have discovered a key to the function of a specific protein that
              helps control the levels of other critical proteins within cells,
              including a protein that suppresses the spread of cancer. The new
              information about the mechanism of action of the protein, called
              gp78, may enable researchers to explore new types of therapies

<description><![CDATA[Women who suffer from migraine headaches in middle age accompanied by neurological aura (visual disturbances, dizziness or numbness that can precede migraines) are more likely to have damage to brain tissue in the cerebellum later in life, according to a study by researchers at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) of the National Institutes of Health, the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and the Icelandic Heart Association in Reykjavik.
