New
signaling pathway may be linked to movement disorders
Though previous evidence points to the contrary, scientists have discovered that the protein known as fibroblast growth factor 14 (FGF14) may not actually behave like a growth factor. The research, published in a recent issue of Neuron, suggests that FGF14 is involved in transmitting signals from one nerve cell to another and may help regulate walking and other movements. Therefore, the protein could be linked to movement disorders such as Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. Full story Grant funds studies, new Molecular Imaging Center David R. Piwnica-Worms, M.D., Ph.D., professor of radiology and of molecular biology and pharmacology, has received a five-year, $9.4 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to establish a molecular imaging center at the School of Medicine. "The goal of the Molecular Imaging Center is to translate the knowledge gained from molecular and genome research into improved care for cancer patients," said Piwnica-Worms, who will direct the center. "We want to combine the latest imaging technologies with the power of molecular biology." Full story Book fair offers great deals Sept. 3-5 The Department of Central Administration in the School of Medicine will host a book fair from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sept. 3-5 on the second floor link of the Clinical Sciences Research Building.
