Nanoparticles carry cancer-killing drugs into tumor cells
A missing receptor molecule contributes to the growth of tumors in human ovaries. This surprisingly evident connection has now been proven by a team at the Medical University of Vienna, who published their data in the science journal Molecular Cancer Research. The team, who is supported by funding from the Austrian Science Fund FWF, also discovered the possible genetic reason why the receptor mol...Performing monkeys in Asia carry viruses that could jump species to humans
Some urban performing monkeys in Indonesia are carrying several retroviruses that are capable of infecting people, according to a new study led by University of Washington researchers. The results indicate that contact with performing monkeys, which is common in many Asian countries, could represent a little-known path for viruses to jump the species barrier from monkeys to humans and eventually...GeneAmp PCR Carry-over Prevention Kit from Applied Biosystems
Description:Enzymatic method stops PCR carry-over contamination, which prevents false positive results Designed to degrade PCR products from previous PCR amplifications without degrading native nucleic acid templates, which improves amplification Optimized for use with GeneAmp PCR core reagents and GeneAmp instrument systems The GeneAmp PCR Carry-over Prevention Kit provides reagents for a simple yet...Preventing Carry-over Contamination with Uracil-DNA Glycosylase
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can amplify a single molecule over a billionfold. Thus, even minuscule amounts of a contaminant can be amplified and lead to a false positive result. Such contaminants are often products from previous PCR amplifications (carry-over contamination). Therefore, rese...UW-Madison helps Imago carry out its big vision for seeing small
atom probe is a veritable jungle of glinting steel, glowing ports and snaking hoses and wires. This microscope that lets scientists peer at the very atoms that compose matter does so by an intricate process, first plungi...Frequent use of antibiotics raises the risk of carrying resistant infections
Antibiotic prescription given within two months of previous prescription of antibiotics increases //the chance of carrying medication resistant bacteria by almost double than in people who were given antibiotics after almost a year. It was always suggested that high levels of taking antibiotics are harmful to health as they may encourage the risk of having superbugs. This is the first...Oral Sex may carry AIDS related Cancer Virus
According to researchers in California, the cancerous skin lesions known as Kaposi's sarcoma are densely related to HIV/AIDS, but the virus that causes Kaposi's was widespread among US gay men before the HIV epidemic ever started. Their study also exposed that far into the HIV when more men were implementing safe anal sex but largely not protecting themselves during oral sex--the Kaposi's...Preventive Mastectomy Does Not Carry Emotional Baggage For Most Women
A new study published in the latest issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology says that most women, who opt for a preventive mastectomy to prevent// the cancer from spreading to the normal breast, do not regret their decision. The study surveyed 519 women who had opted to have their second breast removed after they were diagnosed with breast cancer in a single breast. Researchers of Wak...Cigarette Packets to Carry Skull-and-bones Sign
Cigarettes and other tobacco products will carry a sign of a skull and crossed bones as well detailed warnings on their packets from Feb 1, 2007, the health ministry// said Tuesday. Every package of cigarette or any other tobacco product must bear a skull-and-bones sign, a health warning saying "Tobacco Kills" or "Smoking Kills", a pictorial representation of ill effects of tobacco us...Well-Planned Surgeries Also Carry Health Risks
Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia say that even if the surgery has gone according to plan, there might still be an increased risk of cardiovascular disease// and possibly cancer for several weeks post-operatively. “The first insight we take away from this is that when bad things happen down the road, months, maybe even years later, that we cannot, as we have in the past, j...Welch Allyn 2.5v PocketScope Ophthalmoscope with AA battery handle in soft carrying case
