Machine preservation may promote more organ sharing

...pump, preservation times can be safely extended to permit more time for sharing organs across the country," said Robert Stratta, M.D., lead researcher of the study, which is reported in the May issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. In addition, Stratta said, the pump can be used to pr...

World's leading scientists announce creation of 'Encyclopedia of Life'

...ching, annotating, and visualizing information now permit us, indeed mandate us to build the Encyclopedia of Life." Over the next 10 years, the Encyclopedia of Life will create Internet pages for all 1.8 million species currently named. It will expedite the classification of the millions of species yet t...

Woven scaffolds could improve cartilage repair

...ssue" he said. "The use of this scaffold will also permit doctors to treat larger areas of cartilage damage, since the current approaches are only suitable for repairing smaller areas of cartilage damage or injury." Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that lines the ends of bones, providing cushioni...

Stem cells act through multiple mechanisms to benefit mice with neurodegenerative disease

...the fundamental mechanisms of stem cell action may permit the development of rational combined synergistic therapies, the investigators then gave the mice a simple oral drug that permitted the amount of enzyme provided by the engrafted stem cells to work even more efficiently by presenting them with a small...

Large size crucial for Amazon forest reserves

...isolation on extinction and colonization processes permit prediction of effects of future fragmentation on bird communities in these Amazon landscapes. Area is important because the forest is spatially diverse. "What might look like a vast mantle of homogeneous green is actually a multicolored mosaic", s...

QUT scientists on the way to sifting out a cure for HIV

... Zhu said current ceramic membranes were unable to permit high filtration flux or flow, and at the same time...." He said because the membrane was designed to permit a large flux or flow, it could also be used for water treatment, as well as within the pharmaceutica...

New culture method for hepatitis C virus uses primary hepatocytes and patient serum

...systems allow the virus to infect cells but do not permit prolonged replication and production of virus, while other systems rely on derivatives of permissive virus isolates for efficient replication in transformed (mutated) cell lines. Still lacking has been a system to sustain replication of novel virus i...

Cancer scientists create 'human' leukemia process to map how disease begins, progresses

...ed cells, when transplanted into special mice that permit the growth of human cells, can replicate the entire disease process from the very moment it begins. The findings are published in the journal Science. Dr. Dick, Senior Scientist at OCI, the research arm of Princess Margaret Hospital, and a Professo...

Vanishing beetle horns have surprise function

...vae using electrosurgery: minute voltage arcs that permit precise destruction of targeted cells while nearby tissues are left intact and undamaged. With the larval horn tissue destroyed, the scientists observed most larvae were unable to break the husks of their larval head capsules, resulting in young adul...

An advanced genetic diagnostic method for multiple myeloma

... And in a not too distant future, these tests will permit us to offer each patient a treatment adapted to the genetic modifications that he or she presents, which, while they may not provide a cure for the disease, will make it possible to transform it into a chronic and asymptomatic pathology. ...

Scientists find mutations that let bird flu adapt to humans

...ceptors are molecules on the surface of cells that permit the virus to dock with the cell and commandeer it ...hanging genes with human viruses that subsequently permit them to recognize human receptor molecules and gain easy access to cells, typically in the human res...

What's next for gene therapy? Plastic

Human testis harbors HIV-1 in resident immune cells

... in the blood, virus replication in the testis may permit continued spread of the virus. Finally, with HIV infection continuing to rise, the development of anti-retroviral therapy that effectively targets all sources of HIV, including the testis, is gravely needed. The use of this testis culture system ...
