Lack of enzyme turns fat cells into fat burners

...crease in oxidationof fat in those organs. It also starts oxidizing glucose. In otherwords, the adipose tissue is becoming a little more oxidative and lessinvolved in the synthesis and storage of fat. We feel this contributesto the status of the animal."In prior studies, Wakil and his colleagues have demons...

Gene Therapy For Parkinson's Disease Moves Forward In Animals

...orks great for several years, but then it actually starts creating movement problems,?Mandel said. “Our idea is that instead of taking pills that create detrimental fluctuations of L-dopa levels, a continuous, therapeutic dose would be better for you. As for efforts to reverse impaired movements in rats, s...

Ophthalmologists Use Artificial Silicon Retina Microchip To Treat Vision Loss

...her retinal diseases. The microsurgical procedure starts with three tiny incisions in the white part of the subject's eye, each incision no larger than the diameter of a needle. Through these incisions, the surgeons insert a miniature cutting and vacuuming device that removes the gel in the middle of the e...

Researchers report new pro-inflammatory role for anti-inflammatory enzyme

...the invading organism, but in excessive quantities starts to lead to host-damage. In sepsis, this is manifested predominantly as a profound hypotension, inadequate tissue perfusion and organ failure. This often results in death." Previously, Dr. Hobbs and colleagues demonstrated in vitro that endothelial n...

Double triumph in stem cell quest

...uch easier way to create matching ESCs. His method starts with an existing human ESC line. The nuclei containing the DNA of the ESCs are removed by spinning them in a centrifuge. Verlinsky would not reveal the details of his technique, but other teams glue cells to a surface and spin them until the denser n...

Study reveals dramatic difference between breast cancers in US and Africa

...ow to screen for a disease that is less common but starts sooner and moves faster. Obviously an annual mammogram beginning at 50 is not the best route to early detection in African women, who get the disease and die from it in their 40s, and it also needs to be adjusted in African Americans and high-risk wo...

Secret of smallpox's success may lead to bioterror cure

...in a lot of different ways, but the main way is it starts producing an immune response ?double-stranded RNA is very powerful in eliciting this. "What this gene in pox viruses does is make a protein that binds up all the double-stranded RNA like a little sponge, and this is how the viruses hide infection fr...

Future diabetes drugs may target new protein interaction

...ns from PGC1, and then remains bound to PGC1 as it starts up the sugar-making process, the researchers found. "Because both proteins are required for the liver to make sugar, targeting sirtuin1 in a very specific way might help control sugar production in people with diabetes," says Puigserver. "Sirtuin1 i...

New understanding of cell movement may yield ways to brake cancer's spread

...ortion of DOCK180 senses the gradient, and DOCK180 starts accumulating at the leading edge of the cell. Along with it, DOCK180 brings a host of additional molecules to the leading edge, triggering a series of internal events that begin moving the cell forward. "We see a protrusion form first, in which the c...

Gene silencing technique offers new strategy for treating, curing disease

...hwestern Medical Center. "Virtually every disease starts at the level of malfunctioning gene expression, or viral or bacterial gene expression," said Dr. David Corey, professor of pharmacology and biochemistry. "This is an approach that could theoretically produce a drug for the treatment or cure of almost...

Mechanism for the captation of nutrients in plants- unknown to date

...ated to form microvesicles. Subsequently, the cell starts to capture huge quantities of saccharose through endocitosis. The results of the research has shown, moreover, that only saccharose is capable of initiating endocitosis, given that, in the trials undertaken with substances similar to saccharose, suc...

A whole lot of shaking goin' on triggers early hatching in red-eyed tree frogs

Warkentin examined the recordings to see whether she could tell how rain and snake-attack vibrations differed. "Two of t...

Breakthrough: Scientists create world's tiniest organic particles

State University," DeSimone said. "From that we make impressions with what we call liquid Teflon, and the resulting molds look somethin...
