University of Florida ophthalmologic surgeons perform a relatively common retinal procedure similar to one used in a clinical trial that tested the safety of gene therapy in patients with a hereditary form of blindness. Scientists reported no adverse effects to the therapy. In the study, researchers used an apparently harmless virus to deliver a gene intended to make photoreceptor cells in the eye responsive to light.

University of Florida scientists have discovered the first mating pheromone in one of science’s most well-studied research subjects, the tiny worm Caenorhabditis elegans. Perhaps even more interesting is what the newly discovered pheromone also directs worms to do – hibernate, says Arthur Edison, Ph.D., a UF associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, pictured at right. Fatma Kaplan, Ph.D., a postdoctoral associate, left, and lab manager Ramadan Ajredini also contributed to the research.

Dr. Paul Davenport and his graduate student, Sarah Pei-Ying Chan, apply a respiratory load to a subject. The subject is not seen because they are in an adjacent room. Davenport’s recent nicotine studies also examine the relationship between brain activity and respiration. Brain activity is recorded in smokers after nicotine withdrawal, then after giving the smoker nicotine gum. His group has found a change in brainactivity directly related to absence or presence of nicotine.
