Measurement Challenges In Detecting Cancer Biomarkers

...Sept. 1 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, now available online. Men with chlamydia or gonorrhea were more likely to see and talk to their female partners about the STD when given medicine to give to their partners than the men who were simply told to inform their partners of their STD exposure. Partner r...

Fragile US vaccine system needs improvement despite dramatic gains in health over past century

Ocean climate predicts elk population in Canadian Rockies

...on. Also, wolves tend to kill one another as their available prey dwindles, so a stasis is maintained naturally. Nevertheless, Hebblewhite is excited about his findings because they provide a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between climate and ecosystem, and they open the door for more resear...

The making and breaking of microtubules

...ethods," he says, "but there were no other methods available when we started the project. We had to spend over two years developing and implementing our own algorithm. Once it was ready, we were able to get the correct reconstruction in less than three months." Next the researchers tackled the polymerization ...

Two studies document rise of superbugs in the environment

...June 15 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, now available online. Drug resistance in microorganisms has become a problem due in part to inappropriate prescribing and overuse of antibiotics. These drug-resistant "superbugs" can infect people and cause health problems that are difficult to address with the s...

Newest HIV drugs should be used with FUZEON(R)

Recombinant DNA technology may enable oral, rather than injectable, delivery of protein drugs

...nal Academy of Sciences (PNAS), which is currently available online. "Many of today's oral medications are made from small molecules, like amino acids or lipids, and their permeability allows them to be absorbed from the intestine into the body," says Shen. "On the other hand, protein-based drugs are large an...

Mosaic mouse technique offers a powerful new tool to study diseases and genetics

Mapping neuron connections in the brain

...onal drawings of arbors. Such drawings are already available in the neuroscience literature for many types of neurons. With this method, neuron connection maps could be used to create computer simulations of neural circuits involving tens of thousands of neurons with biologically realistic connections--and pro...

Diabetic nerve therapy shows 'striking' results

...said: "Currently, there are no effective therapies available to treat this debilitating and frequent complication of diabetes and patients are generally prescribed painkillers to alleviate symptoms. "We are excited to be involved in testing this novel approach that may potentially have a dramatic therapeutic ...

Where Bacteria Get Their Genes

Ochman's coauthors are Nancy Moran, UA Regents' Professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and BIO5 member, and Emmanuelle Lerat, now at Universite Claude Bernard (Lyon, France) and Vincent Daubin, now at the Centre nationa...

New method shows it is possible to grow bone for grafts within a patient's body

...er and replaced it with a gel that is commercially available and approved by the FDA for delivery of cells within the human body. They chose the material because it contained calcium, a known trigger for bone growth. Their major concern was that the bioreactor would fill with scar tissue instead of bone, but t...

Motor transport in bio-nano systems

... The theoretical results are in agreement with the available experimental data, both for biomimetic systems and for biological cells. The theory has been extended to more complex systems such as two-way traffic of two motor species that move along the same filament but in opposite directions. The latter system...

Anthrax test, developed by army and CDC, receives FDA approval

...the classical assay used prior to 1976, it will be available for use for testing in designated civilian and military clinical laboratories. "This is a big first step in helping to provide the LRN labs with FDA cleared assays," said Judy Sheldon, a regulatory affairs microbiologist with the CDC's Bioterrorism...

Researcher gets NSF grant to create mutant maize lines

..., or disrupted gene. The seeds will be made widely available to researchers. The new maize lines could one day lead to plants with tailor-made properties, such as higher protein or vitamin content or easier-to-digest starch for ethanol production. Funded by a new five-year, $3.8 million National Science Foun...
