Stem Cells in Liposuctioned Fat can Heal Injuries

...former glory. "Our aim is to regenerate the tendon structure that does not repair spontaneously," says Galli. Once scar tissue is formed, it hinders the animal’s recovery. "If you intervene, with cell transplants, within one week, you can repair the lesion," Galli notes. Like horses, humans are also vulnera...

Computer Tool Helps Pinpoint Risky Gene Mutations

...perly. The second involved studies of the physical structure of the mutated gene. The third category was an assessment of the gene’s evolutionary history, looking at how long the changed amino acid residue position has been preserved in various organisms. The last category is important because harmful mutation...

Artificial Teeth Developed to Replace Missing Teeth

... bone, blood vessel -- in the same composition and structure as a normal tooth. Tsuji hopes his method - described as world first - could eventually be applied more widely. "We hope to collaborate with dentists and clinicians in various fields to develop artificial organs for people," he said. Source-IANS...

QUT Scientists on the Way to Sifting Out a Cure for HIV

...he said. "It is scientifically known that a mesh structure is the most efficient form of filtration and we ar...e the first group to successfully construct such a structure on a nanometre scale with ceramic fibres. "This modification has increased the rates of flow that ...

Car Airbags Will Cause Permanent Hearing Loss in 17 Percent

... which utilizes anatomical components of the ear’s structure to predict hearing loss due to exposure to intense sounds above 130 dB. It has been shown to predict hearing loss accurately in 95 percent of the cases in which human ears have been exposed. NHCA Director of Education Brian Fligor praised Price’s w...

Max Planck Researchers Incorporate Odorant Receptors into Artificial Membranes

...rgents. However, this destroys the natural folding structure of the protein membranes, which is precisely what makes the proteins so special. "We quickly realized how difficult it is to isolate such membrane proteins. Neither we, nor other research groups, were able to work with them using conventional methods...

Liver an Excellent Target For Cancer Gene Therapy

...lls – structural disorganization. The disorganized structure of the cancer cells exposes the receptors so that Onyx-015, the adenoviral vectors used in this study, can readily enter tumor cells. This may be the first time a therapy has been directed against the disorganized nature of cancer cells.” Reid and ...

New Mechanism for Nutrient Uptake Discovered

...n the early Earth. The ubiquitous presence of this structure in all of the known ammonium transporters suggests that the regulation is still necessary today for all of these organisms—cyanobacteria in the ocean, fungi that grow on grapes and make our wine, plants that provide our food—and even in our kidneys, ...

Cleft Palate in Fetal Mice Prevented by Treating

...g term, but just during the time that the organ or structure is forming." Although promising, direct human applications of the research will require several key advances: an ability to predict which women are likely to have fetuses with birth defects before the defects occur; knowledge of an effective, small...

Scientists Identify Genetic Link to Schizophrenia

...is variant was also associated with changes in the structure and function of part of the brain known as the neostriatum, as well as changes in the ability of the neostriatum to communicate with the frontal lobe. Importantly, preliminary analysis indicated that this variant was associated with an increased risk...

Sea Creature's Toxin Could Lead to Promising Cancer Treatment

Ultrasound Technology - Boon or a Bane?

...iagnosing and documenting changes. It shows the structure and function of internal organs and is a useful way to examine the musculoskeletal system to detect problems with muscles, ligaments, and joints. It also assists in identifying blockages, stenosis and other vascular abnormalities. Ian Donald and c...

Communication in the ICU to Be Strengthened

...important component of communication. However, the structure and conduct of these conferences has not previously been evaluated. The study involved the family members of 126 critically ill patients cared for in 22 ICUs. When an ICU physician believed that the death of the patient was likely within a few days...

How Ion Channels are Organized to Control Nerve Cell Communication?

... the ion channel. The evidence for this complex structure came from special technique called FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) that can measure the distance between two molecules. The scientists observed that even without stimulation, there is a lot of energy transfer between the G protein and t...

Web-Based Genomics Tool Designed to Help Predict Disease Susceptibility

...ch genetic variations are most likely to alter the structure and function of a protein, and provides us with critical information related to disease susceptibility, progression, and targets for therapeutic interventions," states David A. Schwartz, M.D. director of the National Institute of Environmental Health...
