Agilent Technologies new genome analysis technology set to accelerate Australia fight against mesothelioma

...ecific genetic changes may accompany the onset and progression of the disease. Dr. Andrew Holloway of the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre said his team will work in conjunction with colleagues at The University of Western Australia, using Agilent's CGH microarray to provide a more thorough understanding of the ge...

Infants with Rare Genetic Disease Saved By Cord Blood Stem Cells

...al nervous systems, said Kurtzberg. Thus, disease progression stabilizes about 2 to 4 months earlier in patients who receive cord blood compared to those who receive adult bone marrow, and huge developmental milestones occur during that period of infancy, said Kurtzberg. The ease of obtaining cord blood also m...

Unchecked DNA replication drives earliest steps toward cancer

...e and is featured on the journal's cover. "Cancer progression is driven by these mutations," explains Thanos D. Halazonetis, D.D.S., Ph.D., professor in the molecular and cellular oncogenesis program at Wistar and senior author on the Nature study. "Once you have the initiating event, you will have constant DNA...

Thai spice helps cut blood sugar swings

But this is all highly speculative," Wielinga added. Wielinga, who is moving to the Institute of Veterinary Physi...

Owl genomics presents a HEPATOCHIP for diagnosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

...alcoholic steatohepatitis treatment by determining progression or regression of NASH in patients before, during, and NASH treatment. ### OWL Genomics, a biotech company focused on providing leading-edge applications in human health with innovative and pioneer technologies within the international scientific co...

B cells are required for development of epithelial cancer associated with chronic inflammation

...ctions of these different white blood cells in the progression of cancer. The mice used in the study, called HPV16 mice, developed premalignant skin that was characterized by infiltration of innate immune cells. Genetic elimination of T and B lymphocytes in this model system resulted in a failure to recruit inn...

U. Iowa researchers improve Huntington's disease symptoms in mice

... of the gene to such an extent that either disease progression is delayed or possibly even disease onset is prevented." It may even be the case that a partial reduction of toxic protein levels allows the brain cells' machinery to "catch up" with the disease-causing protein and clear out the damage caused by the...

Asymptomatic HIV babies could use earlier treatment

Best research work in the area of wine growing

...suspended in mid-June were used for the study. The progression of the hydric deficit in each plant was assessed by means of the daily measurement of the hydric potential before dawn and, when a plant reached the stress interval, it was irrigated immediately. After two or four days after the recovery irrigation, ...

FDA Approves New Treatment for Chronic Hepatitis B

... infected with the HBV virus. Baraclude slows the progression of chronic hepatitis B by interfering with viral reproduction. FDA based its approval of Baraclude on the results of three studies in which Baraclude was compared to another anti-viral drug, lamivudine. In all three clinical studies, patients treat...

Genetic links could unlock clues to leading cause of blindness

... faster than humans, making it easier to track the progression of the disease. The monkeys also can remain in a controlled environment to test nongenetic factors, and their families can be studied more extensively. Although most rhesus monkeys never show signs of macular degeneration, between 30 percent and 70 ...

In such models, for example, many people have a very short infectious period while a few have a very long infectious period. I...

Study: Harmless virus kills some cancers

...cancer is linked to its ability to slow cell-cycle progression by decreasing cancer cell proliferation rates and causing growth arrest. In this study, the team first used HPV infected epithelial cells and normal human epithelial cells, which are natural hosts for both AAV2 and HPV. In cultures infected with bot...
