Kinovate Life Sciences Launches Nittophase?High Performance Solid Support For Oligonucleatide Synthesis

... oligonucleotides. NittoPhase?has been rigorously tested at both small and large scales, and has been observed to exhibit superior characteristics and performance when compared to other solid supports currently on the market. NittoPhase?has great potential to decrease manufacturing costs due to it’s signif...

Chemists identify key gene in development of type 1 diabetes

...they add. Besides prevention, ISO-1 also is being tested in animals to determine whether it will help in the actual treatment of ongoing type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, the more common type. Results are not yet available from these tests, the researchers say. Although nobody knows the exact cause of ...

Vascular structure and function improve with diet and exercise

...he brachial (arm) and carotid (neck) arteries were tested for intima-media thickness and arterial distensibility. Both reflect the health of the blood vessels. The thicker and less distensible (elastic) the arteries are, the greater the load on the heart. This often results from changes in blood pressure, b...

New Insights Into HIV Immunity Suggest Alternative Approach to Vaccines

...bodies have not been made in response to currently tested HIV vaccines," said Barton Haynes, M.D., lead author of the study and director of the Human Vaccine Institute at Duke University Medical Center. The researchers will report their findings in a forthcoming issue of Science. The results were published...

...imer's disease, stroke and more. The drug is being tested in early clinical trials for some non-HIV-related conditions. "Last year we discovered that SIV triggers some of the same biological pathways of cell death and inflammation as these other diseases," says Sheila Barber, Ph.D., assistant professor of ...

Effective Cancer Treatments Follow The Clock

... times than did normal mice. The researchers then tested whether this effect might be due to differences in the metabolic activation of the anti-cancer drug, but found essentially none. “This was a real surprise, because some of the enzymes involved in activating CY in the liver show circadian rhythms,?sai...

Pathogen-Mimicking Vaccine As Strategy For Cancer Therapy

... results of several other adjuvants that have been tested in other trials. By comparing single variables in parallel we believe we can develop effective cancer vaccines in a much shorter time than the conventional approach of trying variables sequentially." The CVC has clinical research sites in Australia, ...

Wisconsin researchers identify sleep gene

...d not flow through it. When the researchers first tested flies with the Shaker gene, they found that some of them with other mutations were normal sleepers. But these flies became short sleepers when the researchers removed genetic modifiers from their genome. "This told us that genetic forces push hard a...

Light therapy may combat fungal infections, new evidence suggests

... costs that fungi present." The researchers first tested the importance of genes with known roles in light sensitivity of another, distantly related fungus. Yeast strains lacking one of those genes, known as white collar 1 (BWC1), mated equally well in the light or the dark, implicating that gene in the fu...

Gene therapy promising for growing tooth-supporting bone

...rk will need to be done before the approach can be tested in humans, Giannobile added. He said he optimistically would like to see initial trials begin in humans in four to seven years. BMP-7 is part of a family of proteins that regulates cartilage and bone formation. Recent studies have shown that BMPs ar...

Computational Method Speeds Mapping of Cell Signaling Networks

They tested their technique--a combined approach of state-of-the-art experimental and computational methods that "fit like a hand in a glove,"--by mapping a well-studied signaling network in human immune system T-cells. This feat originally took researchers deca...

Promising new West Nile therapy cures disease in mice
