Living anti-HIV gel shows early promise

...estinal tracts. Other issues that will need to be addressed include the safety of introducing live, genetically modified microbes into human bodies. Rao's team used a strain of bacterium that is already used in the United States as a live treatment for bowel disorders such as Crohn's disease. Berger points o...

Team led by Carnegie Mellon University scientist finds first evidence of a living memory trace

...ds," said Galán. A future question that could be addressed using this research is addressing how short-term memory gets encoded as long-term memory over time, said Galán. ...

Implantable pumps extend lives of patients too sick for transplant

... to Rogers, there are a number of challenges to be addressed before the use of LVADs can be considered as a widespread destination therapy. The first challenge is selecting appropriate patients, which is crucial, since the patients most likely to survive would be those who are quite sick, but not too sick to ...

Engineered Stem Cells Show Promise For Sneaking Drugs Into The Brain

..., was more difficult and the issue will need to be addressed in new experiments, according to Svendsen. The new study, Svendsen argues, proves that progenitor cells -- cells that can now be made in large quantities in the laboratory -- can be crafted to help clinicians deliver drugs where they are needed most...

Asleep in the deep: Model helps assess ocean-injection strategy for combating greenhouse effect

...may have environmental consequences, which must be addressed before decisions are made on whether such injections are a viable way to reduce carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere, Zhang added. Zhang's work was described in a paper in the Oct.1 issue of the journal Environmental Science & Technology....

APS lecturer shows rare video of 'teacher-student' immune cell interactions in live animal

... known as effector cells. In addition, von Andrian addressed how these T cells kill those cells they identified as harboring a pathogen without going on a rampage and annihilating everything in sight. "There must be a control mechanism that can keep these cytotoxic cells in check," von Andrian noted. The immu...

Study shows hope for ridding lakes of clawed invader

...ations in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin scientists have addressed lake associations and found a receptive audience. "We have talked to lake associations," says Carpenter. "If everyone was willing to run half a dozen traps off their dock, it could be very effective." And one of the best parts of the study, accor...

Five surprising facts about starvation that could change the international agenda

"Wasting in emergencies represents the tip of the iceberg," write the authors. "Ironically, the international community has become much more adept at saving the lives of wasted children...

How HIV 'exhausts' killer T cells

... for cancer, so that question should be able to be addressed in the very near future. "However, one has to proceed with real caution, because if you turn back on an immune regulatory switch that the body has decided to turn off, you could trigger serious immunological problems such as autoimmunity," Walk...

A two-stage variation of Turing's model, recently developed by physicists at Taiwan's National Chung-Hsing University and Oxford's Mathematical Institute, duplicates the changes in the patterns on leo...

Scientific issues associated with carbon-neutral energy sources such as cellulosic ethanol

The Advanced Energy Initiative(AEI), a research initiative announced by President Bush in his 2006 State of the Union Address, embraces key recommendations of Somerville and the plant and microbiological sc...

Report focuses on the role good microbes play in future medicine

...in children. Other causes of diarrhea may also be addressed through probiotics," says Carol Wells of the University of Minnesota, a member of the steering committee. Another example of microbe-microbe interaction in probiotics is a phenomenon known as "competitive exclusion" in which beneficial microbes dire...

Dr. Irwin defined the fatigue biomarker in collaboration with Alicia Collado-Hidalgo, Julienne E. Bower, Patricia A. Ganz,...

Study offers innovative profile of enzyme that aids tumor growth

...ts "a large swath of the enzyme proteome" could be addressed using the study's experimental strategy. "The success of our study opens the door to assembling the full range of enzymes into both metabolic and signaling networks contributing to complex pathologies like cancer," Cravatt said. "This could lead...

Extraordinary life found around deep-sea gas seeps

...patterns of biological distribution that cannot be addressed elsewhere. The team visited eight cold seep sites on the continental slope to the east of the North Island, lying at depths of 750?050 m. 'We discovered that one of these sites, "The Builder's Pencil", covers about 180 000 square metres (0.18 sq...
