...otri, lead author of the research paper on the new technique that was published in the Proceedings of the Natio...h absolutely no adverse side effects using the new technique in contrast to the bleeding and bruising observed with traditional jet injectors. Further research...

Gene Therapy To The Aid Of Cystic Fibrosis.

...or Gene Therapy conference at Warwick. Her current technique of using vector in the disabled version of HIV to avert it from expressing as any disease has shown positive results. This has helped in the effective delivery of genetic material to the lungs of adult mice. Gene therapy techniques are also reporte...

Surgeon Develops Procedure to Prevent Arm Swelling in Breast Cancer Patients

... Axillary Reverse Mapping (ARM) procedure. The new technique evaluates the ways in which fluid drains through the lymph node system in the arm through the injection of blue dye. The dye is used to map the drainage of the arm. 'Mapping the drainage of the arm decreases the chances of unintended disruption of ...

Researchers Discover Proteins That Protect Against Skin Cancer

...r the damage,' he said. Using an innovative new technique to visualize the replication of DNA strands exposed to ultraviolet radiation, Kaufmann and his co-authors noted a slowdown in DNA replication when Timeless and Tipin were present in the cell. Building blocks for DNA were labeled with fluorescent mole...

Scientists Develop Bacteria-resistant Fish

...nt families of the fish through selective breeding technique and injected them the same bacteria to study the resistance. "It showed encouraging results," Sahoo said. "The Jayanti Rohu is recording 17 percent more growth per generation." In the absence of any commercial vaccine, the improved Rohu, if found...

Transcendental Meditation Can Help

New Reason to Hit the Gym: Fighting Memory Loss

...urons, within a living brain. Using an MRI imaging technique developed at Columbia, the researchers were able to identify neurogenesis within the dentate gyrus region following exercise. Previously, researchers were only able to prove neurogenesis upon postmortem exam in animal studies. “No previous research...

Gene Study Offers Hope of Potent Anti-cancer Drugs

...umors was larger than expected, but ultimately the technique will allow scientists to acquire a complete catalogue of all the mutations involved in each class of cancer. "The human genome is a vast place and this, our first systematic exploration in cancer, has thrown up many surprises," said Professor Strat...

No Takers for India's First Bird Flu Vaccine

...ial use, say its officials. HSADL, which has the technique for identifying the avian influenza virus among poultry, tested thousands of bird samples including droppings of migratory birds last year after first strains of the deadly H5N1 avian influenza virus were detected in western Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat a...

A New Inexpensive Technology for Multiplexed Detection

... laboratory, a common (but expensive) multiplexing technique involves a planar microarray-a flat surface with many spotted probes that each test for different targets. The MIT researchers are taking this approach away from planar surfaces onto free-floating particles. With the tiny particles, it is much easi...

No Carrier Necessary: This Drug Delivers Itself

... The UB/RPCI team is exploring the use of the same technique for delivering other hydrophobic drugs, including those used in chemotherapy. Additional co-authors on the paper are Koichi Baba, Ph.D., former postdoctoral research associate in the UB Department of Chemistry, and Yihui Chen, Ph.D., postdoctoral r...

Neck Pain Treatment Safer Without Significant Risk of Paralysis

...ult in nerve damage or paralysis. The translaminar technique in the study avoids this risk by injecting the steroids into the epidural space in the neck, allowing the drug to spread up and down the spine to reduce the inflammation and subsequently reduce pain. This safer translaminar approach is an outpatient ...

Scientists Identify 120 New Cancer Genes

...umors was larger than expected, but ultimately the technique will allow scientists to acquire a complete catalogue of all the mutations involved in each class of cancer, according to Stratton. "We have found a much larger number of mutated driver genes produced by a wider range of forces than we expected. It'...

PET Imaging Identifies Aggressive Kidney Cancers That Require Surgery

... PET is a highly specialized, noninvasive imaging technique that uses short-lived radioactive substances to produce three-dimensional color images of those substances functioning within the body. Unlike CT (computerized tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), which provide anatomic images, PET scann...

Healing Bone With Stem Cells

...dy undergone the procedure, but scientists say the technique could be improved by increasing the survival and proliferation of the transplanted cells. "Cells experience a very harsh environment when first transplanted," says George Muschler, an orthopedic surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic, in Ohio, who pioneered...

Genetic Tests to Reveal ‘substance Abuse’ Tendencis

... responsibility to manage it," Gunter added. The technique used to analyze blood is called "transcriptional profiling," said Anup Madan, UI adjunct assistant professor of neurosurgery and an assistant professor at the Institute of Systems Biology in Seattle. "Transcription profiling involves looking at all...

Gene Cell Test may Aid Early Lung Cancer Diagnosis

...vity of around 30% in early stage cancer. If the technique proves successful in further tests it could be streamlined into a "DNA chip" that gives a rapid readout of which genes are active in cells taken from the patient. This could lead to much earlier diagnosis of lung cancers which would allow doctors to ...

Severe PTSD Damages Children's Brains: Study

...arrion and his colleagues are now using an imaging technique known as functional MRI to visualize whether and how the children's brains differ when performing emotional and cognitive tasks. "What we have now is basically a snapshot," said Carrion. "We can't yet say much about function. But we know that PTSD...
