First Vaccine Designed for Africa Cleared for Testing in Humans

...Michael, one of the world's leading researchers in cellular immunity, said: "We are excited to begin trials fo...this vaccine has a very good chance of stimulating cellular immune responses to HIV. Research also suggests that white blood cells activated by the vaccine can ...

Laboratory Testing Can Identify Risk of Pre-Term Labor and Delivery

...he choriodecidual junction, fFN is responsible for cellular adhesions. The level of fFN in the woman's cervicovaginal secretions is highly associated with pre-term labor and pre-term delivery. The fFN immunoassay detects concentrations of fetal fibronectin protein in cervicovaginal fluids; the presence of mor...

Evidence Links Protein Damage to Neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's

... damage lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and other cellular components much like oxidation causes rust damage to metal in cars and buildings. This damage has been implicated in causing neurodegenerative disorders. Alpha-synuclein itself is a target of oxidative stress, specifically nitration, within these les...

Focus on DNA transcription

... "Such rapid synthesis is essential for proper cellular function.The discovery of this additional binding site will change the view of how transcription is regulated in the cell" Erie said.She further added that many cancers involve over or improper expression of genes and some are regulated at the leve...

Nitric oxide involved in high blood pressure

...ed free radicals and reactive oxygen species cause cellular damage and inactivate nitric oxide, causing blood pressure to keep rising. As blood pressure continues to rise, more nitric oxide is inactivated, causing pressure to rise even higher. According to researchers, while the initial causes of high blood...

Drug abuse leads to long standing changes in the brain

...d by the drug, including an unexpected increase in cellular activity in certain areas of the brain. "These findings show a direct relationship between changes in brain chemistry in methamphetamine abusers and functional changes in behavior," says Dr. Alan I. Leshner, director of the National Institute on Dr...

Genetics helps in attacking cancer

...vated in cancer. They find that specific genes and cellular pathways are affected by ceflatonin. These experiments have been done in human colon cancer cells and on tumour growth// and gene expression in cancer cells grown in mice. The experiments show how drug dose and administration schedule affect the way...

Implication of virus in colon cancer

...how human cytomegalovirus (CMV) can disrupt normal cellular processes, leading to malignant growth, especially in the context of colon cancer. Then the researchers went on to test colon tumour samples for CMV. They looked at colorectal polyp tissue, adenocarcinoma (a type of colon cancer) and adjacent cells. ...

New AIDS vaccine may be in the offing

...loaded DC vaccines to generate strong HIV-specific cellular and antibody immunities may result in long-term immunological control of chronic HIV disease. However, a major question which needs to be resolved is that of how long the vaccine-stimulated immune responses will keep the AIDS virus under control....

Stroke victims have new hope with activated protein C

... apoptosis following stroke. APC works through two cellular receptors, called endothelial protein C receptor and protease-activated receptor 1, to reduce the level of p53 in damaged cells by 75 per cent. APC also increases anti-apoptotic signals that instruct cells to survive. Researchers concluded that the c...

Childhood Sunburn Can Lead to Skin Cancer Later

...he more likely your child is to reach the level of cellular damage that translates into skin cancer. But that's not the only reason children need to be protected from the sun. Because a child's immune system is not fully developed, Rigel says, they don't have the kind of biochemical defense mechanism that no...
