LIAI scientists make major finding on potential smallpox treatment

...ting because his findings appear to offer a way to successfully treat the virus," Kronenberg said. "This could be very important should people become infected before they have a chance to be vaccinated." ...

MSKCC researchers uncover structure of key protein complex in cells

...e a cell splits. Yeast cells that lack SUMO cannot successfully divide, Dr. Lima noted. Since cancer is characterized by cells dividing unchecked, proving SUMO's function could potentially yield novel anticancer therapies. "If sumoylation (when SUMO attaches to a protein) is promoting cell division, then inhibit...

Hurricane aftermath: Infectious disease threats from common, not exotic, diseases

...er contaminated by rodent urine and can be treated successfully with antibiotics. Over the long term, mold may also pose a threat. Mold growth is an indicator of excess moisture, and much will need to be done to dry out New Orleans and clean up mold growth. Some environmental molds can cause allergic reactio...

Old drug shows new promise for Huntington's Disease

...cted. "However," Massa cautioned, "the record of successfully translating drugs from animal to human use is not good." Clioquinol has shown promise as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease in recent studies in mice and humans. Apparently through chelation, it interferes with the creation of beta-amyloi...

UF scientist finds unexpected link between cat and human AIDS viruses

...mpounds made from separate virus strains have been successfully used in vaccines against viruses from the same subfamily, such as smallpox in humans, which is made from cowpox virus, and human measles vaccines for canine distemper in puppies. "Therefore, protective vaccines based on cross-reactive regions of AID...

Picky female frogs drive evolution of new species in less than 8,000 years

...sses involving northern females and southern males successfully produced frogs, the offspring developed more slowly than the offspring of pairs of northern frogs. Field studies confirmed the laboratory results. Researchers could find no hybrid frogs in the contact zones that were the offspring of southern mother...

Biologist Discovers What May Be World’s ‘Pickiest?Mates

Divergent mating systems and parental conflict as a barrier to hybridization in flowering plants

...hich pollen from self-incompatible populations can successfully fertilize ovules of self-compatible individuals, but the reciprocal cross fails. Since both pre- and post-zygotic consequences of this imbalanced conflict can perturb successful fertilization and development, they provide barriers to hybridization an...

Researchers find Amchitka seafood safe for now

...e 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 competent ?will fi...

Gene therapy reverses genetic mutation responsible for heart failure in muscular dystrophy

...ators have for the first time used gene therapy to successfully treat heart failure and other degenerative muscle problems in an animal model that is genetically susceptible to a human muscular dystrophy. Reporting in the Oct. 25 edition of the journal Circulation, the authors say that this is the first successfu...

Gene therapy works in mice to prevent blindness that strikes boys

...s from the UF Genetics Institute describe how they successfully used gene therapy in mice to treat retinoschisis, a rare genetic disorder that is passed from mothers, who retain their sight, to their sons. "Currently there is no treatment," said William Hauswirth, Ph.D., the Rybaczki-Bullard professor of ophthal...

Living anti-HIV gel shows early promise

...ing countries. They point out that if the bacteria successfully colonise and reproduce, protection can be long-lasting. Short-lasting creams against HIV/AIDS would need to be applied regularly before sex and this is likely to limit their use, say the researchers. In an article published yesterday (August 30) in...

Sudden change in social status triggers genetic response in male fish, study finds

...mong male cichlids is reversible: If a subordinate successfully challenges a dominant male in a face-to-face confrontation, the dominant fish will lose his status and with it his vibrant coloring, black eyebar and the ability to produce sperm. In earlier studies, Fernald and his colleagues discovered that a ch...

Student scientists create living bacterial photographs

...ents at The University of Texas at Austin and UCSF successfully created the first-ever bacterial photographs. Their work is published in this week's issue of Nature (Nov. 24, 2005), which is devoted entirely to the emerging field of synthetic biology. The students produced the innovative bacterial images and a...
