New treatment possible for drug addiction

...procedure when applied to mice has shown a reduced affinity for drugs, like addiction to cocaine. Moreover, such a procedure has also been seen to increase the appetite of the mice thus treated. The latest procedure has showed that there may be a new treatment to deal with drug addiction through surgery in t...

Discovery of a built-in 'fat sensor'

...le candidate for this function since it has a high affinity for long-chain fatty acids and is found in lingual papillae in the rat. Experiments were conducted in rats and in wild-type and CD36-null mice. The findings from this study demonstrate that CD36 is involved in oral LCFA detection and ra...

...virus affects the birds but the variant has a high affinity toward cancer cells. // Professors Amos Panet and Zichria Zakay-Rones, from the Department of Virology at the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School, have conducted experiments with this variant virus for the past 5 years. They have said that it...

Carp May Solve the Problem Related To Anoxia Related Diseases in Humans

... In addition to this its blood has a much higher affinity for oxygen than any other vertebrate, and it makes tranquilizers and produces alcohol when oxygen supplies are limited. These mechanisms allow the fish to survive for days or even months without oxygen depending on the temperature at the same time ma...

Understanding how humans detect sweet taste

...aste receptor. This is done by attaching to a high affinity binding site, leading to perception of sweetness. However at high concentrations it inhibits the cellular responses to other sweeteners by binding to a low-affinity inhibitory site which causes the receptor to shift from an activated state to an inhi...

Three-Dimensional Image Of AIDS Virus – BY FSU Researcher

...human host cells for which the virus has a natural affinity –- T lymphocytes and macrophages. ‘Antibodies that effectively bind to either of these spike parts will neutralize the virus to prevent infection,’ said Roux, a member of FSU's biological science faculty since 1978. His biggest surprise: the st...

New Research May Be Useful for Developing Drugs for HIV and Cancer

...nt, involved design of a platinum drug with higher affinity for the protein peptide backbone, thus eliminating the zinc from its active site. In the specific case discussed in the paper, the HIV NCp7 protein is responsible for the proliferation of the HIV virus. If researchers can inhibit the action of this...

New Molecular Treatment Identified To Treat Blood Cell Cancers

...cell and T-cell lymphoid cancer lines, and has low affinity for normal T or B lymphocytes. It also has lower uptake in the liver and spleen than the monoclonal antibodies now on the market for lymphoma treatment. ‘We believe LLP2A may be an ideal vehicle for the delivery of radionuclides, cytotoxic agents, to...

Studies Advocate Natural Form Of Vitamin E

...ite the fact that the transfer protein has a lower affinity for TCT than it has for TCP, Sen said. Absorption of TCT is increased when the supplement is taken with fat-containing food, so the research participants took the study supplement with a high-fat (60 grams) meal to increase the efficiency of absorpti...

Gene Therapy Technique for Inherited Heart Problems in The Pipeline

... effects are long lasting. ‘AAV-9 had a particular affinity for heart muscle that AAV-8 didn't,’ Byrne said. ‘Right now AAV-9 seems to be our best solution for heart problems. ‘The primates were done to give us insight into how this could be used in children,’ he said, adding that UF researchers hope to launc...

A Mushroom Extract May Impact the Body’s Immune Syste

... Samples were analyzed at pH3 on immobilized metal affinity capture (IMAC30) ProteinChip? arrays, using both low-performance and high-performance mass spectrometry (MS). Statistical analyses of low- and high-resolution MS data were cross-validated to determine whether changes in immunologically relevant prote...

Fatherhood gets into the head

...thers, where the brain of the monkeys displayed an affinity with a hormone that promotes learning. In addition, the scientists observed that the marmoset fathers carry the babies nearly 70% of the time, during the first month. They discovered that the brains of marmoset fathers combined the strengths of a lar...

Virus Can Mutate lethally With Help Of Carbohydrates

...rip the cell, making it more deadly. Actually, the affinity is reduced, so the more deadly strain of the virus actually does not bind as tightly. We're not sure why, but it may be because it can more easily let go and get into the cell to cause disease. It's not giving the body the time to mount an immune res...

Better Ice Creams And Artificial Snow, Courtesy Bacteria

...hod used to purify antifreeze proteins, called ice affinity selection. The bacteria can modify ice and water in a number of ways, explains Dr. Walker. One of the species identified demonstrates ice recrystallisation inhibition, a property useful in the production of ice cream as it prevents it from re-cryst...

Germ - Chemo Combo Fights Cancer

As many drugs can be packaged within liposomes, the investigators say the approach could have general utility. In a companion study published in the November 19 online issue of Nature Biot...

Structure of Iron Regulatory Protein-RNA Complex Solved

...igator of the study. "This is one of the highest affinity bindings we have ever seen. The effect of binding a single iron responsive element, through interactions at two separate binding sites, essentially eliminates the possibility of non-specific binding," Volz said. According to coauthor Elizabeth Thei...

Super Bug - A Tough Bug to Plug
