Expert dispels bird flu paranoia

...fection is small in Australia and people can still safely eat chicken and keep pet birds, according to bird medicine specialist Dr Bob Doneley. "The chances of getting bird flu off a pet bird or your neighbours birds are so infinitesimally small," UQ School of Veterinary Science Adjunct Professor Dr Donel...

Group proves it's possible to grow new lung alveoli by growing new blood vessels

...e next step is to prove it's possible to replicate safely in larger mammals. Once that's done, it's possible the concept--growing blood vessels to cure a disease that is traditionally thought of as an airway disease--could be tested clinically in people. ...

UCLA discovery will aid in treatment of patients with a deadly brain cancer

...f disease, and new drugs are making it possible to safely and specifically target pathways that are altered in cancer cells. This was impossible five years ago. Glioblastoma is still a difficult disease, but the idea that it may be possible to induce long-term disease suppression gives us reason for hope." ...

Effective, safe anthrax vaccine can be grown in tobacco plants

...the United States could be grown inexpensively and safely with only one acre of tobacco plants, a University of Central Florida molecular biologist has found. Mice immunized with a vaccine produced in UCF professor Henry Daniell's laboratory through the genetic engineering of tobacco plants survived lethal...

Implantable pumps extend lives of patients too sick for transplant

...is not only small enough and powerful enough to be safely implanted into the human body, but one that could be recharged through the skin without burning the skin. That way there would be no external parts, which would greatly reduce the incidence of infection." Another technological challenge involves the...

Cells from amniotic fluid used to tissue-engineer a new trachea

...ot survive.) While many congenital defects can be safely repaired after birth, Fauza's goal is to fix tracheal defects in utero. Once the baby is born, tracheal surgery requires that the baby be intubated and ventilated long after the operation while the trachea heals; this can lead to many complications, ...

New GM mosquito sexing technique is step towards malaria control, report scientists

New antifreeze protein found in fleas may allow longer storage of transplant organs

... we can drop the temperature at which the organ is safely stored, there will be a longer preservation period." The hyperactive antifreeze protein produced by snow fleas is different from two other insect proteins discovered earlier at Queen's, the researchers say. "Unlike the antifreeze proteins in beet...

Chernobyl: The true scale of the accident

...h accurate information, not only about how to live safely in regions of low-level contamination, but also about leading healthy lifestyles and creating new livelihoods." But, says Dr Michael Repacholi, Manager of WHO's Radiation Program, "the sum total of the Chernobyl Forum is a reassuring message." He ex...

Researchers find Amchitka seafood safe for now

...ise, but the fact that the expedition was executed safely and successfully in this forbidding environment is quite extraordinary. And then we found that the challenge of analyzing our data proved every bit as difficult as the expedition itself. Intellectually honest and nimble people ?when they are really c...

New partnership to clear landmines for African Elephants

...Province. They prevent area residents from walking safely on their land or cultivating their fields. Similarly, the 130,000 elephants of northern Botswana cannot re-establish themselves in their historical foraging areas in Angola and Zambia because of the landmines that create a manmade barrier separating...

Antiretroviral Therapy May Prevent HIV Transmission From Breastfeeding Mothers To Infants

... and other settings where HIV-infected mothers can safely avoid breastfeeding, the rate of mother-to-child transmission can be reduced to 1 percent or less. The goal in resource-limited settings, where HIV-infected women may by necessity opt to breastfeed, is to achieve similarly low transmission rates." ...

Atmosphere may cleanse itself better than previously thought

..., however, that the results do not mean we can now safely ignore atmospheric pollution. "This study in no way implies that we are out of the woods with regard to atmospheric pollution," he said. "What it means is that we need to do a much more careful job with our measurements in order to accurately accoun...

Molecular messengers perform a crucial role in the ability of injured nerve cells to heal themselves

...to this linkage and protection, the messengers can safely transmit their message, thus bringing the injured axon's call for help to the cell body. The study will be published in the March 3'rd issue of Neuron. The scientists hope that these findings might advance the future search for new therapies for inju...
