 Science Translational MedicineUM School of Medicine study finds vaginal microbes vary over time among healthy women The delicate balance of microbes in the vagina can change drastically over short periods of time in some women, while remaining the same in others, according to a new study led by the University of Maryland School of Medicine's Institute for Genome Sciences and the University of Idaho. These microbes affect a woman's susceptibility to infection, so such changes might also mean that the risk of infection varies over time. Further study could lead to personalized medicine for women Contact: Karen Robinson

UC Santa Cruz builds national data center for cancer genome research The University of California, Santa Cruz, has established a large-scale data repository and user portal for the National Cancer Institute's cancer genome research programs. The Cancer Genomics Hub is providing cancer researchers with efficient access to a large and rapidly growing store of valuable biomedical data to advance the field of "personalized" or "precision" care, in which doctors design treatments to target specific genetic changes found in a patient's cancer cells.

Genetic markers for tracking species At the supermarket checkout, hardly anybody enters prices manually anymore. Using scanners that can read the barcodes is much faster. Biologists now want to use a similar procedure for identifying domestic animal and plant species more efficiently. German Barcode of Life is the name of an initiative on which zoologists and botanists are collaborating in Germany. Botanists from the University of Bonn have taken the lead for the flora.

PLOS ONEIdentified 115 proteins that would allow designing new generation anti-cancer drugs Researchers have identified 115 proteins in silico that could be highly relevant to treat colon-rectal cancer, since they would make it possible to define the strategy to design new generation anti-cancer drugs. During the last years, it has been proven that drugs are not as selective as it was thought, and that they actually have an affinity for multiple biological targets. For this reason it is important to develop multi-target drugs, able to attack several targets simultaneously. Contact: Marta Calsina

Journal of the American Chemical SocietyFirst description of a triple DNA helix in a vacuum A team of researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center have managed for the first time to extract trustworthy structural information from a triple helix DNA in gas phase, that is to say in conditions in which DNA is practically in a vacuum. The study appears today in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, one of the journals with greatest impact in chemistry. Contact: Sonia Armengou

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesStudy dusts sugar coating off little-known regulation in cells In Alzheimer's disease, brain neurons become clogged with tangled proteins. Scientists suspect these tangles arise partly due to malfunctions in a little-known regulatory system within cells. In a study released online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Early Edition this week, the team at least doubled the number of proteins found to be subject to a type of regulation.

American Journal of Human GeneticsGenetic adaptation of fat metabolism key to development of human brain About 300,000 years ago humans adapted genetically to be able to produce larger amounts of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. This adaptation may have been crucial to the development of the unique brain capacity in modern humans. In today's life situation, this genetic adaptation contributes instead to a higher risk of developing disorders like cardiovascular disease. Contact: Ulf Gyllensten
