Abstract

Editor's note: This issue's Meeting Brief includes reports by Conference Reporter correspondents Anne Jacobson and Emma Patten-Hitt, who covered the 41st annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology, held December 8-12, 2001 in Washington, D.C.


FISH & Chips
Gene Expression in Single Cells
by Anne Jacobson

Building on transcription data from microarrays, American researchers have created a three-dimensional, structural representation of gene expression in individual cells. The new technique, a combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and microchip technology, may also have applications as a medical diagnostic tool.

More Complications in the Amyloid Picture
by Elizabeth Tracey

Long before amyloid protein fragments start to form the classic plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), they are wreaking havoc on a genetic level, Columbia University researchers reported today. A second team warned of A-beta's less notorious relative.
