Skin Cells Make Use of Geographic Co-Ordinates to Reach Their Destination

...y, we can use this finding to develop a positional map that will allow us to correlate location with function in a way that will make it easier to regenerate certain parts of the body,’ said Rinn. ‘For example, if we need to grow skin in the laboratory to graft onto someone with badly burned palms, we...

Triple-Monitoring System To Monitor Heart Viability During Surgery

...e with the biochemical activity of the tissue, and map its local heat pattern." These three parameters together reveal early and small changes in the functional state of the heart tissue, and their exact location. This gives vital information to the surgeon on the extent of tissue damage and the time he ...

Understanding the Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Decision-Making

...ic resonance imaging in the morning and evening to map the brain's reaction. The imaging technique looks at oxygen use in the brain, so whatever part of the brain is being used, it needs more oxygen. "The brain is a system, a network of areas, all of which work together to get a task done," he said. ...

Long term Sobriety can Reverse Effects of Alcohol Damage

...eers. This orientation is often required to read a map or to assemble things. It was found that although the recovering alcoholics did not do worse on any specific spatial test, their combined spatial test averages were lower those of the non alcoholics. Fein and colleagues are reluctant to give them a...

fMRI Prior to surgery Could Help In Outcome Of Tumor Surgery

... exam, they performed sentence completion tasks to map areas of the brain involved in language function, and hand-squeezing tasks to detect sensory motor areas. The entire procedure, including the time it took to train patients and acquire the images, took less than one hour. The neurosurgeons who refe...

Genome Code Cracked for Breast and Colon Cancers

...ewards envisioned by cancer biologists, efforts to map cancer genes have drawn criticism from others who say that funding dollars should be spent on projects yielding more immediate benefits for detection and treatment. 'These are good debates to have,' says Kenneth Kinzler, Ph.D., professor of oncolog...

Genetic Map Reveals How Drugs Fight Diseases: Study

... surprising results emerging from the connectivity map involves gedunin, a plant derivative that, despite a long history of medicinal use, is not well understood molecularly. Another key finding suggests a new way to overcome drug resistance in cancer, according to the researchers. Using the connecti...

Study IDs Protein That Inhibits HIV From Growing In Cell Cultures

...e used for any kind of therapy, we need to further map it," Xiang said. "We need to zero in to see what region has the critical effect on HIV inhibition." Once that is accomplished, the team will seek to develop small molecular drugs that mimic the inhibiting action. Stapleton noted that GBV-C is not...
