HIV can be blocked from entering human cells.

A new drug code named AK602 is said to be able to block the HIV virus from entering human cells// and causing almost no side effects. This maybe a major step forward in treatment of HIV. Scientist from the Japanese University Kumamoto, have announce ground brakin...

Virus to treat brain tumor

...train that can be replicated through their genetic code carried in their RNA. The genetically muted VSV strain had also been created that it cannot replicate itself while affecting the brain tumor cells. Researchers feel that non-replication may only lead to a few tumor cells being killed. Hence more res...

Grandmother’s diet in pregnancy can affect grandchildren’s blood sugr

...found out about long-term influence on the genetic code of the fetus that may affect the health of the next few generations. Their research had provided evidence that adverse effects of intrauterine environments can be passed genetically from mother to daughter to next generation of offspring’s, especiall...

Genes from saliva may predict oral and breast cancer

...rum. The mRNA carries a copy of the cells’ genetic code from the cell’s DNA, with the help of an enzyme called RNA polymerase. This process is known as transcription and the products are the transcripts. The researchers had collected saliva and blood from 32 patients suffering from oral squamous cell car...

Genetic Breakthrough in Common Eye Problem

... The DNA was examined for variations in genes that code for proteins called fibulins. Researchers found seven of the 402 AMD patients had a change in one gene that none of the healthy individuals had. This discovery by the researchers may only affect 2 percent of the patients with AMD, but researchers st...

Y chromosome uses trick to repair its own genes

...comprehensive and detailed analysis of the genetic code of the Y chromosome, which is best known for supplying the signal to make males. The work is a landmark for the history of sex determination. Scientists said followup work could illuminate basic biological differences between the sexes, perhaps s...

...ions (CROs) in Europe which will take the moleucle code named - GRC -1087 - through Phase I and probably Phase II A or early Phase II clinical trials. We might be in a position to announce the CRO in the next three months," Mr Saldanha said. The clinical trials will cost around $1 millin....

Syphilis uncovered

Scientists have identified the code for the bacterium that causes the potentially dangerous sexually transmitted disease syphilis.The discovery could pave the way for a preventive vaccine and better diagnostic tests and treatments.// Syphilis once caused widespread epidemics and is st...

Body can reshape heart damage

...lls lack the Y chromosome that carries the genetic code for male characteristics, the researchers were able to determine which cells came from the female donor and which belonged to the male recipient. But the researchers found cells throughout the female heart that contained a Y chromosome. In some sam...

Genes for lung disease

...etic basis of COPD. They have looked at genes that code for so-called pulmonary surfactant proteins (SPs), which play a key role in lung function. In a group of people from Mexico, certain variants of two of the SP genes occurred more often in those with COPD. Smoking, and being male, were also found to ...

Crowning glory of 2000!!! Cracking of the genetic code is top of tops

...a Genomics announced the completion of the genetic code on June 26th. This has been hailed by many as the holy grail of biology. This new breakthrough will open new avenues in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. Genetic mapping will also help doctors evolve more patient specific therapies. Us...
