A probe, not an echo

...rn California's Viterbi School of Engineering have successfully demonstrated a novel "High-resolution Ultrasonic Transmission Tomography" (HUTT) system that offers 3D images of soft tissue that are superior to those produced by existing commercial X-ray, ultrasound or MRI units. Vasilis Marmarelis, a professor o...

Columbia study shows widely used artery clearing device does not help patients during heart attack

...istal microcirculatory protection, is commonly and successfully used during angioplasty in vein grafts and stenting in carotid arteries. The study, published in the March 2 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that the devices were successful in removing debris from the arteries in angi...

Researchers pioneer new gene therapy technique using natural repair process

...disease, or SCID. Children with SCID are unable to successfully fight off infections, and must constantly live in a germ-free environment. Their lifespans are usually shortened by systemic infection, and while bone marrow transplants can be used to treat the disease, they are not always successful. "SCID is idea...

NCI Researchers Confirm the Effectiveness of Immunotherapy Approach to Treating Melanoma

...osen for the study. The patients had not responded successfully when treated with standard therapies and had developed growing tumors. Blood was drawn from the patients, and then lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell in the blood that can attack tumors, were separated from other parts of the blood. Next, patien...

Grass makes environmentally friendly biofuel

... Cherney. He notes that a pellet-fuel industry was successfully established in Europe by providing subsidies to the industry. And even though the ratio of the amount of energy needed to produce grass pellets to the amount of energy they produce is much more favorable than for other biomass crops, the lack of gove...

Researchers discover key gene involved in bark beetle pheromone production

...es wouldn't be able to organize a "mass attack" to successfully colonize a tree, and they would die. University researchers have characterized the key gene in the beetles' monoterpene biosynthesis, which will allow further research into ways to disrupt the production of aggregation pheromone. In addition to Blo...

Newest HIV drugs should be used with FUZEON(R)

...s to using an injection, and more patients are now successfully starting and remaining on treatment. Roche continues to roll out educational initiatives to support patients and physicians with the administration and use of FUZEON. ...

Bacterial genome sheds light on synthesizing cancer-fighting compounds

... Despite decades of attempts, scientists could not successfully cultivate Prochloron in the laboratory once the bacterium was isolated from the sea squirt. Because samples of Prochloron were easily contaminated with remnants of life inside its animal home, scientists couldn't tell if the bacterium or the sea squi...

Speak up: Louder neurons form more connections

...she did that, the green cells were able to compete successfully and formed longer, more complex arbors. Although this work specifically examined the brains of fish, Smith said the same rules likely apply to all neurons, including those in the human brain. “Probably these same things are happening all the time,?h...

Confirmation of human protein interaction data by human expression data

Using nanoparticles, in vivo gene therapy activates brain stem cells

...brain cells. Their finding that the nanoparticles successfully altered the development path of neural stem cells is especially intriguing because of scientific concerns that embryonic stem cells may not be able to function correctly since they have bypassed some of the developmental stages cells normally go thro...

Researchers grow stem cells from human skin

... at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have successfully isolated stem cells from human skin, expanded them in the laboratory and coaxed them into becoming fat, muscle and bone cells. The study, one of the first studies to show the ability of a single adult stem cell to become multiple tissue types, is rep...

Study shows humans have ability to track odors, much like bloodhounds

... in the data really suggests that we have actually successfully captured the mechanism." What's more, another area of the brain outside the olfactory cortex was very active during successful localization. This area, the superior temporal gyrus, is also involved in the localization of sounds and visual objects, S...

Scripps research scientists identify infertility molecule

... that control whether an embryo is able to implant successfully inside a womb have not been known. Now Chun and his colleagues have discovered a new molecular pathway that influences fertility, at least in mice -- and one that directly affects the ability of mouse embryos to implant in their mother's womb. LPA ...

Attacks of King George III's madness linked to key metabolism molecule

...n by fasting and exposure to certain drugs, and is successfully treated by feedings of sugar and high-carbohydrate food. A biological explanation for these nutritional effects has been lacking. The Dana-Farber scientists say in a report featured on the cover of the August 26 issue of Cell that the nutritional co...

Vietnam war technology could aid elephant conservation

.... This is the first time geophones have been used successfully to detect and estimate elephant numbers. Another team tried to use a US Army surplus miniature seismic system to detect crop raiding Asian elephants in Sri Lanka, but the work was abandoned after the elephants began digging up the geophones and destr...

Microscopic brain imaging in the palm of your hand

The Stanford researchers will be looking into several of those options. "This is a portable handheld device with the power of two-photon imaging -- the full functional...

Scientists focus on 'dwarf eye'

...er eye refraction in humans." The research team successfully mapped the MFRP gene mutation in humans and discovered that the protein was completely missing from nanophthalmos patients. In a normal human eye, the MFRP protein is located on the surface of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which is located b...
