Research on HIV takes new direction

...Rev from creating new viral cells, the HIV genetic material becomes useless. While numerous other groups explore more traditional approaches to anti-viral therapy, we believe that certain sites - like the rev intersection site - are promising and underutilized targets for anti-HIV drug design. Aminoglycoside...

Barrie Cassileth, chief of integrative medicine at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, who started the site says this website was developed in order to provide comprehensive and readily accessible information about d...

Kidney Cancer Vaccine

..., creating specialized cells, and exposing them to material from their own tumor cells. The cells are then injected back into the patient where they trigger immune cells to attack the cancer. "We don't see a very dramatic impact on the tumor itself. We don't see tumors melt away. But what we see is that the...

Because of the huge success of the programme we want to take it to our teenagers, especially those from upper classes, who are extremely...

Genetic Tests Could Become As Affordable As Blood Tests

...e, one could envision using DNA just as a starting material to produce a transistor because there are published ways where you can transform DNA into a metal, or turning DNA into semiconductors." He also plans to try DNA printing with other things like proteins, antibodies and viruses. --IANS...

Mad Cow Disease Has Roots Traceable To Man

...g of three hypotheses, that human TSE-contaminated material was the cause of BSE; that this was transmitted orally via animal feed; and the infective material originated from the Indian subcontinent. The authors had presented substantial circumstantial eviden...

Amnioinfusion does not reduce risk of meconium aspiration syndrome

...fluid during labor and delivery. Meconium is the material that fills the fetal intestinal tract during pregnancy and is formed from ingested amniotic fluid and dead intestinal cells.// Although it is sterile, inhaled meconium is highly irritating to the lung when the infant takes its first breaths. It can c...

Kidneys Can Be Transplanted From Animals Such As Pigs In Future

...ick the immune system from recognizing the foreign material transplanted or to rather teach the immune system to accept the transplant. One way is to produce pigs lacking a sugar called "gal epitope" which is targeted by immune system antibodies. Another is to mimic the natural process by which the body learn...

RNA Nanotechnology To Rescue Cancer Patients In Future

This emerging branch of science is called nanomedicine. These delivery agents are called nanoparticles, and are assembled from three short pie...

Enhanced Gene Therapy Outcomes Following Latest Revolution And Refinement

... gene therapy is the packing of the corrected gene material into a virus (Retrovirus) and then injecting it into the diseased cells. A new virus based gene therapy has been developed by Mayo Clinic research team to help fight cancer. The finding is expected to provide an answer to the hurdles existing regardi...

Novel antibiotic dressing developed for improved wound healing

... - aids healing. When added to gauze, it makes the material super absorbent, pulling excess moisture away from the sore. Other dressings use a process that allows molecules to diffuse into the air and into the wound, which can slow healing and increases the chance germs will develop resistance. The antibioti...

Scientists Find Way To Stop Infection Of Implants

... chemical bond between antibiotics and titanium, a material used in orthopedic implants. The proof-of-principle study showed that an antibiotic can be connected to the titanium surface in an active form, and can kill bacteria and prevent infection. The work is a critical first step toward developing stable, b...

Flu Vaccine Can Be Used To Treat Lung Cancer

...tion of the immune "messenger" Interleukin-2. This material had already previously been gene-technically manufactured and tested. "But it was administered to the patients systematically (by infection) and in high dosages. That did in fact have an effect, but also strong side-effects." This problem would b...
