New !! “Designer” Gene Theray

...genes.They’ve tested two forms of the virus in the laboratory and in mice, using it to deliver new genes to vascular endothelial cells, which are the cells that line the inside of blood vessels. These cells play a major role in many cardiovascular abnormalities. Researchers redesigned the virus by modifying two...

A Likely Breakthrough For Prostate Cancer Patients

...of cancer. The test has already shown success in a laboratory study, and now researchers are getting ready to see how it works in patients. Researchers say ,by testing for EPCA in men with high levels of PSA, they feel that they may be able to detect the presence of prostate cancer earlier, before it is discov...

Slowing Down The Progression Of Tumour Cells With Omega-6 Fatty Acids

...ids promote the growth of prostate tumour cells in laboratory settings. Scientists say that the sudden rise in the incidence of prostate cancer // could be due to a rapid increase in the amount of omega-6 fatty acids in the western diet in recent years. Omega-6 fats have also been linked to the development of...

Researchers Develop Device For Detecting Atherosclerotic Plaques

...ion of atherosclerosis. Now, in a study involving laboratory rabbits, a device that stimulates, collects and measures light emissions from body tissues has been able to detect the presence of inflammatory cells that are associated with critical atherosclerotic plaques in humans – plaques that are vulnerable to...

Blood Test To Predict Heart Failures

...or inhibiting the enzyme reversed heart failure in laboratory tests. In their latest findings, researchers have shown, using tissue samples from heart failure patients, that they could track heart levels of GRK2 in the blood. The researchers reported their findings July 29 in an online article in advance of...

Genetic Expressions Can Influence The Process Of Aging

Researchers of Cold Spring Harbor laboratory have discovered that the loss of a gene called p63 accelerates the process of aging. Similar versions of the gene are present in many organisms, including humans // . Drawing parallels from mice, the researchers had concluded that the p63 gene is li...

A Settlement Over Stem Cell Controversy Through Scientific Research

...al and societal concerns. The above study has used laboratory grown human embryonic stem cells that have already been approved for use by federally funded researchers. Not much is known about the feasibility of the procedure presently, but has led to an understanding that human embryonic cells have the ability...

Ways Of Tackling Antibiotic Resistance

The study, published in the April issue of Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, found that the compound pentameric procyanidin inhibits cancer's progression by targeting and deactivating the proteins involved in the proliferation of malignant cells...

Brain Plays Vital Role In Maintaining Bone Density

...Jerusalem experimented with genetically engineered laboratory mice whose ability to react to interleukin 1, a protein, has been known for many years, reports science portal EurekAlert. The researchers were able to demonstrate that the proper loss or generation balance in bone tissue is regulated by the level o...

Molecule That Aids Bacterial Infections Identified

... screening thousands of Streptococcus mutants in a laboratory model of the human blood-brain barrier, the researchers found that a gene called iagA (short for invasion association gene-A) played a central role. By producing a fat-sugar complex that anchors LTA, iagA establishes a link that allows bacteria to b...

Hepatitis B Vaccine To Be Included In National Immunization Programme

... Organisation (WHO) organised training workshop on laboratory diagnosis of leptospirosis at the regional ICMR centre here, the minister expressed concern over the spread of the disease at an alarming rate. "As 60 percent of glass syringes have been found unsafe, India would go for auto-disable syringes in a bi...

Role Of Estrogen In Breast-Cancer

...n breast-cancer cells exposed to estrogen in their laboratory showed a dramatic reduction in numbers of a crucial nuclear receptor corepressor, a protein known as N-CoR . They also found that the anti-estrogen drug tamoxifen, often used in breast-cancer treatments, encouraged N-CoR recovery, a beneficial activi...
