Bacterial discovery may help CF patients

... The new research found the majority of the matrix material in the biofilm consists of DNA, and that it seems to be released by the living bacteria. The researchers found treating the biofilm with the DNaseI enzyme, which breaks down DNA into its component molecules, destroys the biofilm and restricts the es...

Endometriosis connected to fertility

...infertility as well and they suggest perhaps loose material in the body may also be slowing down the movement within the tubes. Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows in other areas of the body, causing pain, irregular bleeding, and frequently infertility. Tissu...

New device aids esophagal cancer

... unpleasant, but could be fatal during sleep, when material may enter the lungs. Researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin have developed a new anti-reflux valve that prevents this from happening. In a trial of 42 consecutive patients, half received a conventional tube, the other a tube with the valve...

Decision making made easier

... issue of concern is to ensure that the quality of material on the videodisc is of the highest possible standard and thus serving the purpose....

Maintaining warmth during cold

...layer, he says. The innermost layer should be of a material that draws moisture from the skin - ideally, cotto... The third, outermost, layer needs to be made of a material that will create a good barrier against rain, snow and wind. A decent waterproof jacket or coat will...

Sensitive to bright light? You may have sensitive teeth also

...king tea. Tea contains tannic acid which clogs the material in the open dental tubes, making it hard for hot and cold temperatures to seep in and hit the pulp, which is what causes the pain....

Stem cells - New and richer source found

...ity has found that Wharton's jelly, the cushioning material or matrix within the umbilical cord, is a rich and readily available source of primitive stem cells. These umbilical cord matrix cells, which show tell-tale characteristics of all stem cells, could provide the scientific and medical research communit...

Missing Protein In Cancer Development

...protein is responsible for transmission of genetic material from a parent cell to each of its daughter cells produced during cell division. If that transmission somehow gets disrupted, the resulting cells become mutant versions of the original cell. The researchers studied mouse cells that lacked E2F3 as well...

Happiness Survey

... Survey after survey has shown that the desire for material goods, which has increased hand in hand with average income, is a happiness suppressant....

Circumcision Found To Prevent HIV Spread

...e rarely taken, and most studies to date have used material from circumcisions. However, if human tissue were available, population studies correlating levels of DC-SIGN expression in the penis with HIV transmission rates could provide crucially important data. Researchers say these types of studies should be...

SARS vaccine shows promise in Animal Testing

...ARS vaccine was made from a small piece of genetic material from the virus called a plasmid. It biochemically ... period. The vaccines differed in how much genetic material scientists removed from the original piece of DNA. Both worked, although one appeared to be more eff...

Genetic Pills A Future Thought

...nd into the cell nucleus where most of the genetic material resides.Thus researchers conclude saying "What we're doing is reinventing a virus through chemistry "....

Minimizing The Risk Of HIV Spread

...e rarely taken, and most studies to date have used material from circumcisions. However, if human tissue were available, population studies correlating levels of DC-SIGN expression in the penis with HIV transmission rates could provide crucially important data. In conclusion researchers say their study resu...

Intense Fight Against Polio In India Gets Results

... about cleanliness, sanitation and hygiene. Faecal material is the biggest carrier of the poliovirus, so we have to continue educating our masses about sanitation, besides making them realize that immunization was absolutely essential. (IANS) Medindia on Polio – Further information Poliomyelitis...

Its Possible To Grow Bone To Replace The Damaged Bone

...ery of cells within the human body. They chose the material because it contained calcium, a known trigger for bone growth. Their major concern was that the bioreactor would fill with scar tissue instead of bone, but that didn?t happen. Instead, it filled with bone that is indistinguishable from the original b...

Scientists Identify Cancer Pathway

...teins not allowed entry is called MT1-MMP. As this material accumulates on the cell surface, it degrades the connective tissue that holds the cancerous cell in place. The build-up of MT1-MMP also activates an enzyme called MMP2, which further degrades the connective tissue.In this way, the cancer cell loses i...

‘No Epidemic Risk in Mumbai’ Assures Health Ministe

... state machinery and had given a list of required material such as DDT powder, chloroquine tablets and bleaching powder. The best precautions in this situation are to boil the water before drinking and wash feet after wading through the rain water. One of the dangers is of Leptospirosis and this spreads thr...

Hearty tomatoes

...group in Germany has successfully inserted genetic material into the chloroplasts of a tomato plant, increasing the potential for edible medicines and reducing the risk of cross-pollination. Chloroplasts are plastids - packages outside the cell nucleus that contain pigments, in this case the green pigment ch...

Bone tough

...searchers describe abalone nacre as a biocomposite material with 'remarkable toughness'. In order to find out more about how the bonds work, the group 'marinated' the collagen in different substances and tried the experiments again. The collagen became harder to stretch after it has been soaked in divalent ca...
