Rubella Outbreak Grips Vietnam

..., is a virus marked by fevers and rashes. Symptoms normally pass in about a week. ‘Rubella is only dangerous if contracted by pregnant women,’ said Nguyen Van Nghiem, an official with the department of health in Ho Chi Minh City. ‘A high percentage - between 50 to 70 percent - will give birth to babies wi...

Insulin and Growth Hormone, Expands Life Span?

...that growth hormone resistant mice fail to respond normally to calorie restriction, a very effective life-extending intervention. The key implication of this study is that growth hormone receptor and thus presumably the normal, physiological actions of growth hormone are important in regulation of aging and l...

Gene Variants Linked to Early Heart Attack Discovered

...farction (MI). One of the genes, known as VAMP8, normally expresses a protein essential for early stages of clotting. When clotting occurs in a coronary blood vessel, it can lead to heart attack. Knowing gene mutations that increase heart attack risk can help identify people at risk and clarify molecular ch...

C-Myc Gene Essential for Immune System Function

... known as 'T memory cells'. The T memory cells are normally maintained at a low level that can be rapidly expanded if the pathogen is detected again. The maintenance of normal, low levels, or 'homeostasis', of T memory cells is dependent on a signalling factor, a so-called cytokine, known as 'IL- 15. ‘Very ...

Gene Defects Determine Susceptibility to Cancer and Bone Marrow Failure

... decreased levels is governed by a gene, p27, that normally works to suppress tumors,’ Ruggero pointed out. ‘This could be a key explanation for the increased tumor susceptibility seen in patients with dyskeratosis congenita. ‘Two other proteins found in the study, XIAP and Bcl-xL, are involved in regulatin...

Introduction of Microbial Organisms: A Possible Treatment for Asthma

Gene Therapy May Help Restore Sight In Congenital blindness

..., explained that the chickens with the disease are normally born blind. And she further explained that six out of seven chickens that had undergone the gene therapy technique while still in the egg hatched out with sight. She and her colleagues focused their study on mutations in the GUCY2D gene, which is r...

Parasitic Worms Could Be Used To Treat Bowel Disease

..., elicit an immune response in the host that would normally cause inflammation, but that worm parasites mount an anti-inflammatory defense that modulates it," said Mansfield, a professor of large animal clinical sciences. "The greater the immune response, the greater the anti-inflammatory effect. "It's possi...

Prostate Cancer Risk Linked To Early Estrogen Exposure

...rn of expression in the prostate. This gene should normally shut down in adult life, but after early exposure to estradiol or BPA, the exposed animals' prostates continued to express it at high levels. Similar high levels due to methylation of the gene were found in prostate cancer cells but not in normal cel...

Osteoporosis – A New Treatmen

...umbers explains in part how the two types of cells normally stay balanced in animals, he added. Mice with abnormally active NFATc probably develop so much bone mass because this delicate balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts has been altered, Crabtree suggested. In the mutant mice, ‘there's also a hu...

... infant formula. The mice were then allowed to age normally to two, 12, 16 and 24 months of age. Iron levels were measured in the substantia nigra (SN), an area of the brain where dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with Parkinson’s disease, is made. Excess iron is believed to cause oxidative stress whi...
