CVM’s Chiu Creates Cardiac Model for Testing Drugs’ Effect on Long QT Syndrome
In a well plate, roughly the size of an iPhone, 5,000 heart cells beat in synchrony. These cells have an important role—their response to different medical drugs is helping researchers like Texas A&M’s Dr. Weihsueh Chiu predict how those drugs and environmental chemicals could cause or exacerbate a heart rhythm condition called long QT syndrome. […]
Texas A&M Researchers Document Genetic Copy-Number Changes in Roundworm Model
Diseases such as cancer and other chronic ailments are the result of copy-number changes in our genome, that is, when certain genes are accidentally duplicated to create extra copies or when genes are deleted so that they exist in fewer copies than normal. In addition to potential hazards to our health, changes in gene copy-number […]
