...eds to develop a standard treatment and procedural code for ayurvedic medicines. Commenting on the recent objections by experts in Canada and the US, to the high metal content in ayurvedic medicines, Dr.Ramadoss said, 'This was because there were no standard criteria used. Heavy metals are part of standar...

Fake Condoms Come to Light

...ed that these were fakes. Replica boxes with the code 20604354 were printed on its base. Durex spokeswoman said these fakes could be identified by their smaller size, dotted surface and a fruity smell. According to Durex the fake condoms would not have been tested for microscopic holes, and there was ...

Cancer Gene Code, Decoded

The genetic code of breast and colon cancers which was esoteric, is now unplugged by scientists from America, showing 200 new mutated genes responsible// for the growth and development of tumors. This finding is an impetus towards enabling timely detection and evolve...

Genomic tests for better cancer treatment

...umour with the help of the gene chip. A gene’s DNA code is translated into proteins by the messenger RNA. These proteins carry out the activities of the cell, thus signifying the activity of a particular gene within a cell. This kind of testing is carried out to a certain extent to detect if the patient...

Protein as Potential Tactic to Prevent Tumors

...lication process when they find inaccurate genetic code embedded in their DNA. The health and well-being of offspring cells depends on accurate genetic code transfer from one generation of cells to the next. The Mayo researchers showed that when errors in g...

In the study, it was found to affect the cells lining the middle ear at the spot of inflammation in the Junbo mouse. Professor Brown said: "Because the Junbo mouse provides a model of how otitis media affects childr...

...an off-label use of PMAA, and there is no Medicare code for the procedure, so reimbursement is problematic. His cost for one kit is about $400. He said he performs the service at no charge and receives no industry funding for his research. Frey would like to see controlled trials to compare sacroplasty ...

Model Predicts Colon Cancer Inheritable Genetic Defects

...at can occur during the duplication of the genetic code when new cells are made, and are known as mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Of the projected 600,000 MMR mutation carriers in the United States, each has approximately a 50 percent chance of being diagnosed with colorectal cancer by age 70. Women also hav...

Weird Protein Puzzles Researchers

... in a pattern which is exactly the opposite of the code present in the DNA template. This revelation is far removed from the theory prescribed in the molecular biology textbooks. This discovery has meant a shift in the original thinking that relied on the information that the structure of a protein is ...

New Test For Early-Stage Lung Cancer

...n the tumor. Messenger RNA translates a gene's DNA code into proteins that run the cell's activities. Hence, it is a barometer of a gene's activity level inside the cell. Scientists label the messenger RNA with fluorescent tags. The fluorescent RNA is then placed on a tiny glass slide, called a gene chi...

Penn Researchers Throw Light on the Structure Of Smallpox Virus Protein

... enzymes bind to specific sequences in the genetic code to aid in the many steps of DNA replication. The smallpox virus is one of the most easily transmissible infectious diseases known to humans, resulting in up to 30 percent mortality. The efficiency with which it spreads, combined with the deadly na...

The Dengue Virus Unplugged

...host cell, its top priority is to copy its genetic code so that it can make more virus. Flaviviruses are so efficient at this task that they can churn out tens of thousands of copies of their genome--which is composed of ribonucleic acid, or RNA--within hours of infecting a cell. For dengue and other f...
