Affymetrix and bioMerieux Extend Their Agreement on GeneChip(R) Technology to Breast Cancer Diagnostics

...r in-vitro diagnostic use. "bioMerieux provides a full range of solutions for molecular diagnostics, from single to multiple and complex genetic targets, requiring the use of microarrays. Our extended agreement with Affymetrix broadens our rights beyond infectious diseases, food and water testing. The po...

Researchers test new therapy for advanced melanoma

... the treated animals remained disease free for the full length of the study (100 days), Dr. Heller said. Furthermore, he said, even when melanoma cells were reinjected into the cured mice the tumors were rejected. This indicates the immune system formed a memory response that recognized the melanoma cell...

Fungus Effective Against Winged Termites

Asymptomatic HIV babies could use earlier treatment

...ickest. “We were able to analyze children with the full spectrum of disease across many years, rather than using mathematical models to predict the development of illness in the children,?said Maldonado. “We were able to see the real distribution of illness, what kinds of treatment the children were given...

Second messenger NAADP shows fast, dose-related impact on satiety cycle

... the more quickly your brain tells you that you're full ?or at least satisfied. Indeed, it also could be a potential drug for the treatment of obesity, Yamasaki noted. "We have shown that cholecystokinin activates NAADP production through a specific protein on the cell surface, the cholecystokinin-A rece...

$5.1 billion would save 6 million children

...educes the price. According to the study authors, full implementation of preventive interventions would reduce the current annual cost of treatment by over 60 percent, due to the projected reduction in child illnesses. Furthermore, the delivery of integrated preventive and therapeutic services would be f...

Unique library of plant genes germinates, takes root at UNC

...work with experimentally because they have genomes full of material that serves no known function," Vision said. "For example, the lily genome is roughly 40 times the size of the human genome." Nevertheless, the gene content of lilies can be predicted reasonably well by looking at a related plant with a ...

Studies reveal how plague disables immune system, and how to exploit the process to make a vaccine

... the host's immune system before it can generate a full response. The researchers infected mice with Y. pestis. Two to three days later they harvested cells from organs where the bacteria tend to cluster. They used a dye to stain those cells green. When Y. pestis attacks a cell it uses the type-III path...

Fat's fate depends on its source

... in the diet, the animals became sick, with livers full of fat." Further study found that, in the absence of new fat, the mice exhibited a marked decline in the activity of genes critical for the metabolism of glucose, fatty acids, and cholesterol. Those genes are normally targeted by PPARa, a key energy...

Revueltosaurus skeleton unearthed at Petrified Forest upsets dinosaur tale

...sociation could not be made. The newly discovered full skeleton of a Revueltosaurus makes it clear that the teeth are not of a plant-eating dinosaur, but of a herbivorous or perhaps omnivorous crocodilian ancestor living a mostly terrestrial life in the uplands of the Late Triassic. It may have been one ...

Morphine for Chest Pain Increases Death Risk

...recommendation is that patients should receive the full dose of nitroglycerin," he said. "Based on our analysis, morphine should be the last resort after else has been tried." While patients with acute STEMI are at higher risk of dying within 30 days of their hospital stay, patients with non-STEMI actual...

Novel plague virulence factor identified

...ence factors are crucial for the bacterium to have full virulence. Of the six virulence factors, three are also required for infections in mammals. One of these factors is similar to an exported protein of Salmonella enterica. In a study http://www.dukemednews.org/news/article.php?id=7647 published last...

Wild grasses and man-made wheats advance research capabilities

...ities," Rudd said. "With synthetic hexaploids, the full compliment of wild relative genes is available for selection." Researchers in Bushland and Vernon are studying synthetic hexaploids already developed through CIMMYT. Crosses between Texas winter wheat and 117 CIMMYT synthetics have already been made...

Variation in HIV's ability to disable host defenses contributes to rapid evolution

...at can disable the two defensive proteins. Vif is full of variation, both in sequence and in function, according to a new study in PLoS Pathogens, and this could in turn potentially accelerate the evolution of HIV. Within a single patient, some versions of Vif don't work at all; others counteract only o...
