Mass production of human papillomavirus could lead to gains against cervical cancer

... Ahlquist. Importantly, said Ahlquist, the system successfully produces multiple types of HPV. "We found no specificity of this technique, and there appears to be no reason this method cannot be extended to other subtypes," he said. The researchers plan to use their production technique to study the early proce...

Hybrid grass may prove to be valuable fuel source

...d. Other varieties of Miscanthus have been grown successfully in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. However, the giant Miscanthus being grown by the Illinois researchers has the greatest potential as a fuel source because of its high yields and because it is sterile and cannot become a weed, Heaton said. "Miscanthus s...

Rensselaer researchers develop approach that predicts protein separation behavior

...all drug-like molecules. The newly developed model successfully predicted the amount of a protein that binds to a material under a range of conditions by using molecular information obtained from the protein structure. These predicted adsorption isotherm parameters then replicated experimental results by predicti...

New imaging technology shown to detect pancreatic inflammation in type 1 diabetes

... good, and because our MGH colleagues have already successfully used essentially the same drug on many patients with prostate cancer," said Dr. Benoist, "we have been able to move relatively quickly into clinical trials." Dr. Turvey added: "We hope to know soon whether we can use this drug and imaging technique t...

Why do aneurysms form? New studies suggest leading role for white blood cells

... exam, X-Ray, MRI or CT scan, they can be repaired successfully 95 percent of the time. Recently, new ideas about why aneurysms form have begun to take shape. "We're finding that in general, an aneurysm is an inadequate response to injury," Upchurch explains. "Something happens to damage elastin fibers in the bl...

Research suggests fitness of Florida panthers improved by limited breeding with Texas animals

...id. In contrast, hybrid offspring have been moving successfully south and east into new sections of the Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve, he said. Pimm, whose research group works in the Everglades each year, said some scientists have erroneously tended to "look at a map and say, 'beca...

Old drug, new tricks: Prospects for slashing the impact of malaria

...o enable the immune system to re-energize and more successfully combat any subsequent malarial infection. We suspect that many toddlers who seem reasonably healthy might actually have low level malarial infections that are eliminated by Fansidar, allowing the immune system to develop to its full potential."

UIC developing drug for SARS

...disrupting enzymes that digest proteins, have been successfully used to thwart the human immunodeficiency virus, which causes AIDS. "Data from SARS patients indicate that replication of the virus peaks 10 days after the onset of fever," said Michael Johnson, director of the Center for Pharmaceutical Biotechnolog...

Visceral Leishmaniasis: Successful Vaccine Trial In Dogs

...ir. Such prevention treatment has just been tested successfully on dogs by an IRD team in Montpellier, in conjunction with the Rocher veterinary clinic (La Garde, Var) and the biopharmaceutical company Bio Véto Test (La Seyne-Sur-Mer, Var). The first results showed total lasting protection of these animals agains...

No small feat: First ever gene therapy success for muscular dystrophy achieved

...it has not been possible to apply the same methods successfully used for delivering other types of genes. And because CMD affects all muscles, an organ that accounts for 40 percent of body weight, gene therapy can only have real therapeutic benefit if it is able to reverse genetic defects in every cell of the bod...
