Controlled Gene Expressions Can Cure Many Diseases

... how they efficiently shut down gene expression in cultured cells by blocking the ability of chromosomal DNA to be copied into RNA and made into proteins. The studies are the most definitive to date showing that chromosomal DNA is accessible to and can be controlled by synthetic and natural molecules. The in...

Gossypol helps in chemotherapy of neck and head cancer.

...are able to survive. Two different cell lines were cultured in the lab and results observed. On the basis of the results the scientists have made this revelation. Source: Molecular Cancer Therapeutics journal, July issue...

Pomegranate Juice May Be The Next Best Thing For People With Heart Disease

... risk of atherogenesis. The new study shows that cultured human coronary artery endothelial cells exposed to high stress reacted positively to concentrated pomegranate juice. The juice reduced the activation of redox-sensitive genes in atherosclerosis prone mice. When these mice were orally fed with pomegra...

New turn in stem cell research

...re to cells or serum. Embryo cells were thawed and cultured in the process. Then inner cell masses were separated by surgery and plated onto specially coated plated that may be sterilized. Six embryonic human stem-cell lines were maintained in this serum and feeder free culture procedure. The result was deri...

Drug to Delay the Onset of Arthritis

...leases a substance called proteoglycan. Scientists cultured cartilage cells in vitro to study this pathway as osteoarthritis develops. The researchers stimulated the cells with two molecules that activate the arthritis processes. This caused the increased release of proteoglycan and the production and activa...

Human Antibody That Can Block SARS

...y potently blocked live SARS viruses from entering cultured human cells. Researchers say the 80R antibody could be tested in humans and may lead to the development of a drug to prevent or treat SARS. Although there is not a current SARS crisis, researchers say the virus is still a threat. There are currentl...

Some pets found to be SARS carriers

...inoculated six cats and six ferrets with the virus cultured from a person who died of SARS, adding drops that ...infected so quickly that they wondered whether the cultured virus was simply rubbed onto them from close contact with their recently inoculated cage mates.Howev...

Stem cell transplantation of eye

... team of scientists have successfully transplanted cultured stem cells from the healthy eye to the diseased one, bringing light to the people who nearly lost their sight in accidents.Sustaining the current excitement about stem cells, in all 33 patients who suffered from conditions such as chemical burns, all...

Over-The-Counter Drugs May Prevent Alzheimer's

...ree drugs reduced AB42 levels nearly 80 percent in cultured cells. However, the better-known NSAIDs, such as aspirin, Celebrex and Vioxx, had no such effect....

HIV did not arise from polio vaccine

... campaign in Africa. These vaccines were allegedly cultured in chimpanzee kidney cells. These chimp cells, some say, may have been contaminated with the virus that became HIV-1, the strain responsible for most of the world's HIV infections. The Wistar Institute has always denied that any chimp cells were used...

Spirulina may be the next immune boost on the block

...ignificantly increases the cytokine production in cultured immune system cells. To evaluate the effects of spirulina on the immune system, immunologists at UC Davis School of Medicine and Medical Center collected blood samples from 12 healthy volunteers and incubated the samples with dilutions of spirulina m...
