Vaccine for Alzheimer’s diseas

... among Alzheimer’s researchers. However, the mouse models don’t seem to show the same neural destruction suffered by human patients. But it is certainly encouraging and one can hope that some kind of human application willfollow....

Renal problem alleviated

...niversity of California, Irvine, found that rodent models of chronic renal failure had higher levels of nitrotyrosine, a marker of oxidative damage caused by the interaction of oxygen free radicals with nitric oxide, in areas of their cerebral cortex than healthy control rats. However, by treating the rat...

A question on study of Adult Stem Cell

...onsequence of experiments in test tubes and animal models -- but we need to carefully examine the complete identity of the resulting cell types." "Practically speaking, what these findings do is send those researchers who have claimed great multipotentiality for adult stem cells back to the lab, to test wh...

Increase in renal problems

...niversity of California, Irvine, found that rodent models of chronic renal failure had higher levels of nitrotyrosine,// a marker of oxidative damage caused by the interaction of oxygen free radicals with nitric oxide, in areas of their cerebral cortex than healthy control rats. However, by treating the r...

Apollo inaugurates centre for back and neck pain

...s use of special proprietory software and analysis models to devise individual treatment profiles for patients. Reddy said it was planned to launch similar centres in Delhi and Hyderabad in the near future and other key metros later. He said that it was estimated that four out of every five people suffer fr...

Myostatin gene could hold the key to treatment for DMD

...mice. He added that testing the strategy in animal models of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy is also in the pipeline. Kathryn Wagner, on the other hand plans to take these studies further by “switching off” the myostatin gene in mice with DMD at different time points to determine if the treatment is still ...

Green tea beneficial in preventing osteoarthritis

...en tea protects cartilage destruction in test-tube models of cartilage loss that mimic what happens in the arthritic joint. Also, earlier studies have shown that EGCG reduces joint swelling and pain. The new discovery needs further testing on human volunteers. However, Sheffield University has already take...

Rat joins list of cloned animals

...aid in the development of genetically modified rat models of greater predictability and quality. Scientific results obtained from these models will contribute to the development of innovative therapeutics for major pathologies such as cardiova...

Diabetes a cause for worry among the young

...der the age of 45. Researchers then used incidence models to estimate future complications. The study shows people with early onset type 2 diabetes are 80-percent more likely to need insulin therapy than those who get diabetes later in life. Researchers also report those who are diagnosed with diabetes at ...

Ebola Treatment Shows Promise

...ontracted the virus died. The death rate in monkey models of the disease has been nearly 100 percent. These researchers wondered if the disease could be stopped by using rNAPc2 to inhibit the blood coagulation pathway. Researchers from the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease...

Rat Genetic Code Mapped

...will be able to greatly improve the utility of rat models and thereby improve human health. Researcher say that as they build upon the foundation laid by the Human Genome Project, it's become clear that comparing the human genome with those of other organisms is the most powerful tool available to underst...

Regeneration of muscle

...eneration. Here, the researchers worked with mouse models and in vitro experiments to investigate whether Pax7 is sufficient to initiate muscle cell formation in injured tissue. It was seen that stem cells taken from regenerating muscle in mice lacking the Pax7 gene could not become muscle cells, and that...

Genetic Breakthrough in Common Eye Problem

...e next step is to produce cell cultures and animal models that have the mutations identified in the study....

Dangers Of Cigarette Smoke

.../ can far exceed those outdoors because new engine models and lead-free fuels have cut the levels of particulate matter emissions from car exhausts. In a study which was conducted in a garage in a small, Italian mountain town where there are very low levels of particulate matter air pollution. A turbo dies...

The Impact of Stress Early In Life

... past research has shown the animals are excellent models for understanding the impacts of early childhood stress. The infant monkeys were divided into three groups. The first group was separated from their mothers during the first week of life, before social skills develop. The second group was separated w...

Hope For Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

...i-inflammatory therapy has offered relief in mouse models of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis hence researchers explored how an immune system molecule called Toll-like receptor 9 could ease inflammation. Agents that activate Toll-like receptor 9, or TLR9, were given to two different groups of mice tha...

Genes from saliva may predict oral and breast cancer

... required to refine the predictive powers of their models that can successfully predict pre-cancerous conditions and cancers that are difficult to identify like cancer of the ovary or pancreas....

New gene therapy for Alzheimer’

...ry and prevents cholinergic degeneration in animal models of injury, amyloid over _expression and ageing. The scientists have delivered NGF gene in eight individuals with mild Alzheimer’s disease. They had followed up the patients for 22 months and found no side effects or adverse reactions in them. Scien...
