Indian Doctor granted US patent on organ regeneration

...like the uterus, urethra and ureter in animals and experiments are on to regenerate organs like kidneys and parts of the intestine. Certain large tendons in humans have also been regenerated. Only limited successful human trials have been conducted, but the surgeon says the technique has been perfected in monk...

Virus Combats Brain Tumour

...ta, Canada, and colleagues report that in a set of experiments involving cancer cell lines grown in the laboratory, reovirus destroyed cancer cells in 20 out of the 24 cell lines. It was also found that these virus killed the tumour cells that were taken from the humans and grown in the laboratory. In their stu...

Focus on DNA transcription

...ing RNA chains from DNA.In a series of complicated experiments with the enzyme from the bacteria E.Coli. Erie and her students found that when the precursor molecule does not occupy the newly discovered site, the enzyme copies the DNA slowly.When the molecule occupies the site, producton of RNA kicks into overdr...

The right is responsible

...face recognition, says that the people in Keenan's experiments would have been using their right brain to recognise the familiar faces of colleagues and famous people - regardless of whether they remembered their name.They used the language skills and verbal memory of the left brain to remember the names of the ...

Therapy for stopping the spread of cancer cells

...for stopping the spread of cancer cells. Test tube experiments do seem to suggest that inhibiting the enzyme blocks the invasion of cancer cells into neighbouring tissues....

FDA's control is inherently weak

...ide the United States who voluntarily report their experiments to the FDA increased 16-fold from 1990 to 1999, dwarfing the agency's ability to inspect the test sites. More worrisome, is that the FDA does not know how many such tests are not reported.// " It's a serious problem, it's growing, there needs to be ...

Iron is a two sided sword

...m food and transport it into the bloodstream. The experiments show that when such cells are exposed to iron, they become more susceptible to infection by the common food poisoning bacterium Salmonella enteritidis . The researchers suggest that iron supplements and fortified foods should only be consumed by thos...

Genetics helps in attacking cancer

...ellular pathways are affected by ceflatonin. These experiments have been done in human colon cancer cells and on ...ene expression in cancer cells grown in mice. The experiments show how drug dose and administration schedule affect the way people might respond to ceflatonin and...

Hormone Deficiency Results In Miscarriage

...it came from the father. And the new findings from experiments with rat and human cells suggests that some women who cannot sustain a pregnancy may be unable to control these immune reactions. The study showed that CRH is produced by the early embryo and plays a major role in the implantation of the embryo in ...

Left handed have better episodic memory

...er at remembering events? The data from two recent experiments answer in the affirmative. This recent reasearch is reported in the jornal Neuropsychology. Stephen D. Christman and Ruth E. Propper of the University of Toledo in Ohio, studied memory as a function of family handedness. Interestingly, people don’t ...

DNA biochip for genetic screening

... allows us to do thousands or tens of thousands of experiments all at once.” She says the quality, suitability and cost of biochip products need to be significantly improved before most researchers or doctors can afford to use them. “The advantage to our biochip is that we bring to the field a flexible, high q...

Miraculous Salads

...he University of Bern in Switzerland who conducted experiments on rats.// They said that 1g of onion a day can help prevent the process that causes the condition - resorption, where calcium seeps from the bones making them brittle. And 500mg mixed with garlic, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and parsley had a simil...

Coffee enhances memory

...g to researchers, the next step is to repeat these experiments with brain scanning, to find out what effect caffeine really has on brain function and blood flow....

Gene Therapy For Cystic Fibrosis

...r" must be found because the one used in the mouse experiments doesn't easily enter human cells. Also, it's important to remember that the mouse experiment did not cure cystic fibrosis, but it did show promise of easing symptoms....

Effective And Economical Agent For Anthrax

...res. Methyl bromide gas was chosen for laboratory experiments because of its chemical properties, long track record in the pest control industry and its widespread agricultural use. Eighty paper strips, each containing as many as 100 million spores of the anthrax-like surrogate, were placed in walls, under carp...

Chewing gum found to increase brainpower

... coupled with a surge in insulin to the brain. The experiments involved 60 people split into groups of non-chewers, real chewers and "sham" chewers. Prior to undergoing the 20-minute test, the two chewing groups spent 3 minutes working their real or imaginary gum around their mouths. Scholey said the tests incl...
