In images achieved through optical and scanning electron microscopy, microtubules were observed to immediately form and extend from the phospholipid balloon, like a seed putting forth a stalk or root. Hayes believes that the phenomena may have significant implications...

Stem Cell Research Shows Potential for Replacing Tissue Damaged in Heart Attacks

...ugh says. He notes, however, that the research has achieved unprecedented levels of success in this area. Dr. Lough’s laboratory currently is developing support to expand these findings in several areas that will provide additional information. First, they want to identify the factors from precardiac endoder...

Used in a new way, RNA interference permanently silences key breast cancer gene

...rmanent way. Typically, only a transient effect is achieved with RNAi before the tiny bits of genetic material are become inactive as the cell population continues to expand. "We are a long way from using this technique in patients, but this study shows that that it may be possible to use RNAi in more than j...

Turning viruses into allies against cancer

...cant prolongation of life; complete regression was achieved in up to one-third of the treated mice. During the second phase of their study, the scientists attached the iodine "symporter" protein to the MV-Edm and injected the newly engineered virus intravenously into the mice carrying the human liver cancer ...

Confocal imaging promises early detection of skin cancer

...It can also generate data at least as good as that achieved by a biopsy,?says the coordinator. He adds that today’s best skin cancer detection rates are 75 per cent. “Our system can reach 95 per cent, even when used by people who are not skin experts.?/p> Though the project has ended, the partners want to...

Could microbes solve Russia's chemical weapons conundrum?

Dr. Inna Ermakova and colleagues from the GK Skryabin Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Puschino examined the possibility of using P putida to transform ...

Cellular Defects in Premature Aging Disease are Reversible

...strategy. The fact that a progeria reversal can be achieved in multiple cell types, and that the cells can return to normal, independent of cell division, bolsters this possibility. "Some tissues in our body do not divide," Misteli pointed out. "So demonstrating that we can rescue the normal phenotype without...

Researchers make surprise discovery that some neurons can transmit three signals at once

...polarizations, a process that normally can only be achieved by excitatory transmitters. It is not yet known how long the cells retain this unique capacity, for how long the neurons are able to release all three neurotransmitters or what causes the cells to stop releasing glutamate as they mature. But accordi...

Because the light was bright enough to pass through tissues of the face, the fibre could be used to illuminate the retina through the roof of the m...

Caloric restriction won't dramatically extend life span in humans: UCLA research
